supply The impact has highlighted the need to re-evaluate the parking requirements of the
on^rTooo C°t'^Pr?.P°Sed ordinance was aPP™ed by the City CommissiononMarch21999onFirstReading.It does not prohibit any development;but it does
provide the City Commission with the necessary controls to review projects of significant
size through the public hearing process and to only approve those projects that contribute
positively to the well being of the community and do not adversely impact downtown
parking supply.The proposed ordinance would also afford the City Staff and citizens
enough time to review all the parking provisions in the Land Development Code and
recommend amendments,if necessary.
The Planning Board conducted a public hearing on March 9,1999 and recommended
unanimous approval with the stipulation that the City undertake aparking and traffic study
before making any amendments to the parking requirements.The proposed ordinance was
presented to the Hometown District Parking Committee,on April 19,1999.The parking
committee recommended lowering the threshold for the new building to 25,000sqft with an
additional provision to allow replacement ofan existing building to be constructed with the
allowableparkingadjustments.
RECOMMENDATION:Approval with the recommended changes.

II.SELF INTRODUCTION AND OPENING REMARKS
A.Following a self-introduction,Mr.Scurr gave a brief background on the history and previous
activities of the committee.
1.Mr.Scurr reported that the committee has been inactive for almost two years,however the City
Commission wants to reactivate the committee in order to get its input on the various'parking-
related issues within the Hometown District.Due to the recent activities and the impact of the
Shops on the downtown parking inventory,the need for the committee has been greater than ever.
2 Mayor Robaina emphasized that the City gives a lot of consideration to the recommendations
that come from boards and committees and assured that the comments from this committee will be
taken very seriously and incorporated into the decision-making process.The City Commission has
just increased the size of the committee to six citizens,plus the Mayor.The committee still needs
two more members.The full committee will have a composition of two merchants,two downtown
property owners,and two residents.
3.Mr.Boas suggested that the Commission consider having alternate members to get more people
involved and also to avoid not having a quorum ifsomeone cannot make a meeting.
4.Mr.Scurr also advised the committee that the city is in the process of preparing a parking
assessment study for the Hometown District.The committee members were also advised that the
downtown traffic study is being delayed because the level of activities has subsided to a level that
is not creating any extraordinary traffic and parking conditions at this time.
