Amending Toledo Municipal Code (TMC), Part Eleven, Subsection 1103.0600; Planning and Zoning regarding Pedestrian-Oriented Overlay District and TMC 1107.0200 regarding Special Parking Districts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The proposed text amendment to TMC?1103.0600 -PO, Pedestrian-Oriented Overlay District is designed to offer market-based parking within the Pedestrian-Oriented Overlay. Code changes are proposed for TMC?1103.0602 Effect of Designation and TMC?1103.0610 Parking. Updates are also proposed for TMC?1107.0200 Special Parking Districts to appropriately note the proposed changes.
The purpose of the proposed text amendment is to provide market-based parking within the Pedestrian-Oriented Overlay. Market-based parking gives liberty to the developer to determine how many parking spaces are needed for their development to be successful. Currently, every development in the City of Toledo is subject to mandatory parking minimums. This is necessary in regional commercial areas, where nearly all customers will drive. However, this is instead detrimental to historically walkable commercial areas, where parking minimums make existing storefronts difficult to occupy and call for the demolition of adjacent structures to make way for parking lots.
On March 12, 2020 the Toledo City Plan Commission considered and recommended approval of the requested text amendment.
On June 17, 2020, Toledo City Council, Planning and Zoning Committee reviewed, and sent without recommendation the requested text amendment.
