Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Steven Meier, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE IV OFF STREET PARKING REQUIRMENTS OF TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO MUNICPAL CODE SUMMARY: Attached for consideration is a text amendment that will amend Article IV Off Street Parking Requirements of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The existing off-street parking requirements in Title XVII are often an obstacle for enticing redevelopment of older properties or are a hindrance for upgrades to properties to increase business efficiencies. The parking requirements are triggered with the addition of one additional square foot regardless of use, and require the property to come into complete compliance with the parking code. The proposed text amendment seeks to increase flexibility and provide staff with certain areas of discretion. Key highlights of the proposed text amendment include:  One time exemption from the loading zone requirement in certain conditions;  Allowance of 10,000 square foot addition to occur in I-2 and I-3 zone;  Allowance of 1,000 square foot addition to occur in all other zones;  Establishing a required number of spaces for senior housing, independent living, assisted living, nursing homes, skilled nursing, hospice and memory care facilities;  Establishing a required number of spaces for self-storage facilities, and auto dealerships;  Modification to the required number of spaces for wholesale, warehouse, industrial, and manufacturing facilities; and  Creating of a 100% variance in certain cases. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their September 13, 2017 Regular Meeting, voted 6-0 (Lujan-Slack absent) to recommend approval. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Pueblo Chieftain and Public Hearings were held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 13, 2017. ALTERNATIVES: If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code will not be amended to reflect the proposed changes. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
