MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Downtown Parking In -Lieu Agreement Chair Allen stated that based on the earlier discussions with Ms. Harryman regarding in -lieu parking fees, she would like to propose to agendize this topic and discuss recommendations that the Commission would like to make to the Council for consideration of changes to the Municipal Code relative to the whole concept of in -lieu parking fees. Commissioner O'Connor agreed. Commissioner Piper inquired if a committee would need to meet first to do research before the Commission can make recommendations. Commissioner O'Connor replied that the Commission can discuss and make recommendations to the City Council, and the Council can then form a committee if it wishes. Chair Allen asked Mr. Weinstein how that would be done. Mr. Weinstein replied that no special subcommittee is needed to discuss something like that, and there would need to be a majority of Commissioners agreeing to forward a recommendation to the City Council, which could then be presented in the form of a memo, and then ultimately considered by the City Council. He indicated that that is something staff could agendize in the future; staff could write a short report outlining or providing some sort of framework for discussing the issues, and then the outcome of that could be a recommendation to Council. Commissioner Piper inquired if staff would provide the Commission with a lot of data. Mr. Weinstein replied that staff would provide a staff report with a brief introduction to the issues, including some of the ones the Commission raised tonight and perhaps recommendations or options for amendments to the Municipal Code that would address the Commission's concerns; this would then be discussed at the meeting when the topic is agendized. Commissioner Nagler stated that the only thing he would add to that is ask the Chair between now and then to work with staff to be sure that staff is comfortable with what is presented. Chair Allen requested staff to share a draft of the staff report for her review. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 13, 2015 Page 30 of 32
