Agenda Number G.9 <br />CITY OF HUGO <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />DEPARTMENT <br />Memorandum <br />TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator <br />FROM: Rachel Juba, Planner <br />SUBJECT: Parking Ordinance Revisions <br />DATE: June 1, 2017 for the City Council meeting of June 5, 2017 <br />1. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE: <br />At its May 25, 2017, meeting the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the <br />parking ordinance revisions. There was no one that spoke during the public hearing. The <br />Planning Commission generally liked the revisions and made a recommendation to approve the <br />revisions to the ordinances to the City Council. <br />2. BACKGROUND: <br />In reviewing the zoning code, staff has found the existing parking requirements to be quite <br />excessive based on our experience with the typical demand for parking associated with various <br />uses and also when compared with ordinances in other communities. For that and other reasons, <br />staff is proposing zoning text amendments to address the excessive parking requirements found <br />in the parking ordinance. In addition to the review of the parking requirements for each use, the <br />Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) reviewed the entire ordinance and made recommendations <br />on revisions. <br />3. SUMMARY OF REVISIONS: <br />Number of Parking Spaces Required <br />The most significant revisions to the ordinance was the number of parking spaces required for <br />each use. The required number of minimum parking spaces table was revised to reduce the <br />amount of uses regulated and to reduce the number of parking spaces required for each use. Any <br />use that is not listed in the table will be assigned a parking requirement by staff and ultimately <br />approved by the City Council. <br />
