Title

Text Amendment request to eliminate parking minimums and introduce language to allow mid-street parking for loading and unloading in urban zoning districts. (B) 

Petition PB-21-00140. City of Gainesville, applicant. Requests to amend the City of Gainesville Land Development Code to eliminate parking minimums and to introduce language that would allow mid-street parking for loading and unloading in urban zoning districts.

Explanation

This petition is a request to amend the City of Gainesville Land Development Code to eliminate parking minimum and to introduce language that would allow mid-street parking for loading and unloading in urban zoning districts. Currently, the City of Gainesville employs parking minimums for developments outside of Urban Transect zones based on the development use per Sec. 30-7.5. The amendment would eliminate parking minimums and would instead introduce parking maximum language. This petition would also introduce language that would allow for mid-street parking for loading and unloading in urban spaces within urban transect zones. 

Fiscal Note

None.
