Title

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

Petition PB-21-00140 TCH. City of Gainesville, applicant. Requests to amend the City of Gainesville Land Development Code to eliminate parking minimums, introduce requirements for structured parking and 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, introduce requirements for structured parking and 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 maximums. This petition would also introduce language that would require structured parking for larger developments as well as language to allow mid-street parking for loading and unloading in urban spaces within urban transect zones. 

Fiscal Note

None.
