The purpose of this work session if to prepare for the upcoming April 5, 2022, joint work session with the City Council. Since we have three new members of the Planning Commission, and it has been several months since the Commission has discussed the issue, staff will present the proposed ordinance changes and background at the work session. The Planning Commission has recognized the continued need to consider district parking structures, multi-modal options, and a robust mass transit system when it comes to considering off-street parking regulations. This ordinance is viewed as an interim first step to achieve greater goals regarding parking. The following memo serves as a reminder of the work that has been done to date. Attached are related documents that were created during the process. In 2020, the Edina City Council requested that the Planning Commission evaluate the appropriateness of the City’s Off-Street Parking Regulations. The City’s current regulations have not been revised since 1992. Many of the current standards have not been amended since 1970. Issues surrounding parking requirements often arise when new developments are proposed. Developers sometimes seek to have more or fewer parking spaces than guided by Edina’s Parking Regulations, and residents are sometimes concerned about proposed developments that are perceived to potentially include too much or too little parking. Goals and factors considered during the evaluation of revised parking regulations included:  Trends nationally and around the Twin Cities metropolitan area regarding parking requirements. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424  Usage of decades-old parking lots within Edina.  Current and projected quantities and availability of mass transit.  Differing needs for different areas of Edina, such as locations where the City has provided mass parking facilities.  Creating incentives for reduced parking, including sustainability incentives, increasing greenspace, and enhancing mass transit and other forms of multi-modal transportation, such as bike/pedestrian connectivity.  Climate change and equity.  Reducing surface parking lots.  Previous approvals or rejections of requested variances to Edina’s parking regulations. Benefits of reducing minimum parking requirements at this time may include:  Lowering cost for building projects could reduce rents for multi-family residential. Potential to provide more affordable housing.  Reduction in car emissions (if more people use transit, walk or bike).  Potential for more green space and landscaping and potentially public realm/public space.  Less surface parking creates more land available for development which increases tax base, which helps keep residential taxes lower. The following was considered in the analysis:  Parking regulations for municipalities within the Twin Cities. (See attached comparison table.)  Parking regulations for similar and recommended municipalities within the United States. (see attached)  Presentation by Nelson Nygard (parking consultant) with a national perspective regarding parking. (See attached PowerPoint from Nelson Nygard.) Highlights of the Ordinance Amendment include:  Adding incentives for developers to reduce parking including shared parking, bike parking. sustainability and location near transit stops.  Adding maximum limits on parking spaces.  Having separate regulations within the City’s commercial nodes.  Generally reducing the number of parking stalls required. Staff put together a table (see attached) that compares recent projects in Edina, to the current ordinance and proposed ordinance. It shows the number of parking spaces that that the proposed ordinance would have required, compared to the current ordinance and the number of stalls that were built or will be built. Note that variances would not have been required in most instances, which demonstrates the ordinance is in line with what developers are building within their projects. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 The following provides background on the draft ordinance and the changes recommended: Section 1. General Reduction in parking requirement. Uses may be allowed further reductions if located within a transit service area. Some of the more significant changes are as follows:  Apartments – Reduced from 2 spaces per unit to 1.25 minimum and 1.75 maximum spaces per unit. The requirement for 1.25 spaces is consistent with most recent requests for new apartments within Edina.  Medical or dental offices, clinics and animal hospitals – Reduced from one space per 200 square feet to one space per 300 square feet.  Hospitals – Reduced from one space per bed to one space for each two patent beds.  Restaurants – Changed from one-third the seating capacity to one space for each 100 square feet of floor area.  Offices, medical and dental – Requirements are amended from a formula calculation (generally one space per 200 square feet) to one space per 300 square feet, with a maximum of one space per 200 square feet.  Mixed Development District – Uses are amended to be consistent with specific use requirements. Residential reduced from 1.75 spaces per unit to 1.0 spaces per unit with a maximum of 1.75 spaces per unit. Additional incentives are provided for shared use. Section 2 – Planned Commercial Districts. This establishes separate regulations for the City’s Commercial Nodes (44th and France, 70th and Cahill, Valley View and Wooddale, 50th and France, Southdale and Grandview). Section 3 – Parking Space Reductions. Reduction/incentive provisions are added for ridesharing, environmental sustainability, and bike parking. A ten (10%) reduction is allowed if a use is located within one quarter of a mile from a qualified transit stop; to qualify, the transit stop must be served by regular transit service on all days of the week and adequate pedestrian access must be available between the transit stop and the parcel. Section 4. Additional Regulations. Additional regulations cover shared parking, proof-of-parking, and prevent two abutting off-street parking facilities next to each other.

Require unbundling only for spaces: •Built in excess of desirable levels •Not shared with off-site users 27 Phase II: Encourage Pricing of Private Parking ▪Step 3: Directly Promote Pricing by Employers ▪Promote or Require Parking Cashout –Businesses pass on parking costs to employees/ sub-tenants •Employees drive less •Tenants save $ on unbundled parking. –State of California requires certain employers who provide subsidized employee parking to offer a cash allowance in lieu of a parking space. •Enacted after studies showed cash allowances in lieu of parking encourage employees to find alternate means of commuting to work, such as public transit, carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, or walking. 28 Phase II: Encourage Pricing of Accessory Parking ▪Step 4: Lead by Example 29 Phase III: Manage Spillover 30 Image: Flickr User johnducguz Residential Parking Permits ▪This is a more effective way to protect curb parking for residents. ▪Like meters these have not always been used to their full potential, reducing public confidence ▪Emerging best practices to learn from, including: –Demand-responsive (matching hours and restrictions to address local conditions) –Residential Parking Benefit Districts (Residents park free, others pay, revenue goes to neighborhood improvements) •Austin, Montreal –Variable permit rates (based on demand, number of permits, time of year, etc.) •Arlington County, Canada 31 Discussion & Questions NELSON\NYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES © 2011
