RECOMMENDATION Approval.
BACKGROUND
AND ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment is in order to modify the footprint requirements in the C-1 Restricted
Commercial and SD-14 Latin Quarter Commercial -Residential District zoning districts from a
maximum of 40% of the gross lot area to a maximum of 60% of the gross lot area by Class II
Special permit. In recent years, and as a result of new design criteria, the Planning and Zoning
Department has been requesting "liner" uses to be utilized in hiding garage structures. These
"liners" often require larger footprints in order to create more urban, pedestrian friendly projects
along our commercial corridors. The 40% requirement in the ordinance today is more of a
"suburban" limitation which promotes a great deal of asphalt for surface parking and is no longer
appropriate for urban commercial corridors. The Class II Permit will ensure the provision of liners
for greater footprints.
