OFF-STREET PARKING ORDINANCE: PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARKING DISCUSSION
The commission discussed their goals, strategies, results, and timeline and said in the short term, a plan may be
to remove all parking minimums while long term could be more transformative. The Council spoke about
updating the 1970s parking ordinance to fit current parking needs, understanding the types of parking categories
like office, medical, and restaurant, and how best to regulate each. For next steps, in the short term, Council
asked staff to amend the ordinance to adopt a plan to reduce some parking minimums, and for the Planning
Commission to continue working on long-term recommendations.
