Notes: City Attorney Kit Williams said he was concerned about eliminating minimum parking standards completely. He said if a developer is allowed to build a commercial building in or near a neighborhood with little or no parking spaces, customers who drive to those businesses may be forced to use parking areas that were previously used by the neighbors. Williams suggested instead giving planning staff the power to remove parking standards on a case-by-case basis. His proposal, he said, would give the city enough time to see if removing parking standards was indeed a good idea before removing the regulations altogether.

Alderman John La Tour applauded staff’s proposal to remove minimum parking standards, but said he’d also like to see maximum parking standards removed.
