Chair Louis questions parking provision beyond zoning requirements
Chair Louis asks about providing more parking than required and what guarantees can ensure the additional parking will be built. Jarboe confirms 19 spaces are proposed where zero are required under City of Yes transit zone rules, and the community desperately wants off-street parking. He suggests memorializing the parking commitment could be discussed further.
Thank you so much for your testimony.
I have a few questions about this proposal.
Can you confirm that your proposal has more parking spaces than is required by zoning?
And if so, what guarantees can you provide to ensure you will provide additional parking, which is needed in this neighborhood?
So at this time, we propose 19 parking spaces.
Under the recently enacted City of Yes regulations, this area is in a newly defined transit zone, so no parking is required based on the unit mix that we're proposing.
So that's 19 more than would be required.
I know it's in the builder's interest to provide parking in this neighborhood.
That's one of the main issues we heard throughout this process, that the community desperately wants to see off-street parking.
In terms of ensuring that those parking spaces could be there, that's something we could discuss further about memorializing that in some way.
Thank you.
