PLNPCM2023-00937 Driveways & Loading Text Amendment

11/21/2023

0 Comments

 
Request Type: Text Amendment
Location: Citywide
Zone: All zoning districts

The 45 day period ends on January 2, 2024

Request Description:
Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a zoning text amendment to correct driveway and loading area
standards found in the zoning code. Chapter 21A.44 was amended in October 2022 and since then, staff
has found that certain standards created unintended consequences. For example, the ordinance now
requires a maximum combined driveway width and a maximum number of driveways that is
inconsistent with the size and use of properties in the industrial and some commercial zones. This
creates issues in the ability of properties to be developed and to accommodate convenient and safe
access. Similarly, staff have noticed that off-street loading area requirements are leading to likely
unusable spaces and undesirable building designs. This petition will allow staff to revisit these standards
to adequately address parking needs and city goals. This zoning amendment would also correct language
in other related sections of the code.
