HARDY, DIRETOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2001 SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 12, DEFINITIONS; AND SECTION 49, SPECIAL USE PERMITS RELATIVE TO PAID OFF-STREET PARKING RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council consider amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, relative to Section 12, Definitions, and Section 49, Special Use Permits, relative to a provision for paid off- street parking, and take any action necessary. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Sections 12 and 49 Currently, the City's zoning ordinance has no provisions regarding landowners or tenants that elect to charge patrons to park in their off-street parking lots. At the medical office building located at 1601 Lancaster Drive, the property owner has installed ticket gates at the entrance and has been charging a fee to visitors and patients that park their vehicles in the parking lot. The situation has created a number of problems. Specifically, customers are now parking their vehicles on Lancaster Drive and other lots in the area rather than in the lot. Fire and other large emergency vehicles are unable to enter the site because of the gates. Staff recommends adding a provision into the zoning ordinance which would require a Special Use Permit for paid off-street parking to help prevent another situation in the future. Staff has drafted an amendment to Section 12, Definitions, to broaden the definition "Off -Street Parking" and incorporate 'paid parking'. Also, Section 49, Special Use Permits, has been amended to create a mechanism for regulating the implementation of paid off-street parking lots. An exception has been provided to the Special Use requirement for valet parking services. While valet services typically use required off- street parking spaces, the use of the services is also voluntary.
