Ordinance: off-street parking zoning text amendments
Continued · 7-0
The ordinance would update parking requirements, simplify regulations and fix enforcement issues. Supporters praised added bike parking, simpler rules and lower parking costs that indirectly burden lower-income residents. Critics said it would worsen parking, did not do enough on long-term transportation alternatives or accessibility, or was not ready, and asked that the parking study be presented first. The council closed the hearing and deferred action.
