Staff has been asked to begin a conversation on the uses allowed within the "CBD" Central
Business District and the impact these uses have on the current and future inventory of on -
street and off-street parking in the downtown area. Permitted uses, those uses that are
allowed as a matter -of -right and do not require Council approval include personal services
(e.g. beauty shops, barber shops, dry cleaners, shoe repair etc.) and general retail sales
(e.g. antiques, dry goods, jewelry, appliances, clothing, etc.) Conditional uses, those uses
that require Council approval include wineries, wine tasting rooms, artisan studios, and
restaurants (including delicatessens, bakeries, and coffee shops).
City Attorney Matthew Boyle has determined that within the permitted and conditional use
categories in the "CBD" Central Business District, limiting the number of similar uses or
their type (i.e. chain stores versus independent stores) cannot be regulated.
A Downtown Parking Study was performed by Carter Burgess in early 2001. Since that
study, the character of the Historic Main Street Corridor has evolved with changing parking
needs.
Staff will discuss the current parking supply, both public and private, increased needs in the
near term and long range parking and the potential for added parking.
