I favor the present ordinance.
I favor a special improvement district to
finance the central business district off-
street parking.
I favor increasing the sales tax to finance
off-street parking.
I favor reducing the amount of money required
per space.
I favor increasing the amount of money required
to more accurately reflect off-street parking
costs.
Allow the developer five years in which to pay
the off-street parking fee.
Rezone the downtown area into an "Old Commercial
District" with reduced off-street parking
requirements.
After considerable discussion the Commission decided to recommend the
following changes and amendments to the ordinance controlling off-street
parking requirements:
1.
2.
3.
Provide for a five (5) year payment schedule without
interest for "in lieu of" payments for off-street parking,
Amend the code so that some method of establishing the
cost of off-street parking can be applied to the per
space cost to the developer in an equitable manner.
Hire Bill Lament of the firm Briscb, Maphis, Murray and
Lament to study and recommend whet^ier or not it would be
practical to consider a possible amendment to the zoning
code that would establish a special central business
district zone that would change the off-street parking
requirements for the central business district.
All of the above recommendations will be reviewed again at the regular
Planning Commission meeting scheduled for September 20, 1977.
