TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS
FROM: H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES''
RON STOMBAUGH, PLANNER II
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2000
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 58, PARKING, LOADING, AND OUTSIDE
STORAGE AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS RELATIVE TO OFF-
STREET PARKING ON A LOT OR TRACT OF LAND COMPRISED OF
MULTIPLE ZONING DISTRICTS
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the following
amendment to Section 58, Parking, Loading, and Outside Storage Area Development
Standards relative to off-street parking on a lot or tract of lard comprised of multiple
zoning districts, and take any action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Based on discussion at the Thursday, October 26, 2000 Planning and Zoning
Commission Workshop, staff has drafted a proposed amendment to Section 58 keeping
in mind the comments made at that time. Concern was expressed relative to the
inclusion of the "shared parking" in a site plan as part of a conditional use permit and
requiring a conditional use permit if parking for a more intensive use was to be located
on a less intensive zoned area. This amendment should address those concerns.
