RECOMMENDATION
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance was prepared at the request of the sponsor, Mayor Steven Meiner.
Section 106-55 of the Code of Ordinances currently allows single-family uses to be exempt from paying the fee for the permanent removal of one parking space when creating access to off-street parking. Duplex and triplex uses should be afforded similar exemptions to allow driveway access and promote equitable treatment of residential properties. The proposed amendment to Section 106-55 would allow duplex and triplex uses to be exempt from paying the fee for the removal of up to two parking spaces, provided that the off-street parking created is equal to or greater than the number of on-street spaces removed. The amendment, if adopted, will encourage the development of off-street parking and, potentially, reduce the demand for on-street parking.
