Recommendation to the Board reo PDA input on Kimberlv Commons Development Given that it is important to: 1. Maintain consistent application of the City Parking regulations, and 2. Encourage downtown development, particularly infill projects And that, ~ The second slot in each tandem parking driveway of this proposed project does not constitute a legal parking slot under the City Parking Regulations, but ~ The Kimberly Commons project is subject to PUD rules which are not bound by the current City Parking code, The following mitigation items should be implemented to alleviate the burden of the additional parking requirements this project will place on a vital transition area between the business district and residential district: I. Zone, sign and enforce parking time limits on the streets in the surrounding area to strongly encourage and ensure the tandem spaces are used as designed. 2. Require a disclosure covenant about the impacts and value ofliving in the downtown environment, where businesses such as restaurants, night clubs, hotels, and theaters are open late, to prevent potential future conflict between the residential and business uses in the transition area. 3. Include a covenant regarding the permissible, and impermissible, uses of the carports for various types of storage due to the use of carports instead of garages. Amendment #4 If the city cannot ensure that the tandem parking places are used as designated, the PDA would have serious reservations regarding tandem parking. The PDA Parking Committee clarified that it does not want time-limited parking along all of Peter's Avenue, for this is where Downtown employees park. The request is for time-limited parking in front of the applicants' project, and potentially some surrounding areas if appropriate. The Parking Committee also clarified that when the PDA reviewed this project, it supported the applicants' commitment to mitigate the off-site parking demand by contributing to the "In Lieu Parking Fund". The parking fund is a set aside fund to be used to acquire properties identified in the Downtown Specific Plan that can meet parking needs. Case No. PUD-37 Planning Commission Page -19-
