Board of County Commissioners Public Hearing – November 28, 2017

On Nov. 28, 2017, staff proposed replacing the Article 4-513 Transportation use for Park and Ride Facility with a Multimodal Parking Facility use. This update also proposed moving parking requirements for primary uses from Article 4-500 to an accessory Parking use in Article 4-516. The new Parking accessory use does not change the number of parking spaces required under individual uses. After a staff presentation, public testimony, and deliberation, the BOCC voted (2-0) to approve Docket DC-17-0002: Proposed Amendments to the Boulder County Land Use Code for Parking-related Uses and Regulations; and certified the docket for action to the Board which certification includes the approved text of the docket and the official record of the docket before the Commission with the staff comments, public testimony, and Commission discussion and action.

Documents: Authorization Memo to BOCC – text amendments for parking-related uses and regulations for August 22, 2017

Background

Staff identified a need for a Land Use Code use definition that allows for offsite parking in areas where onsite parking is constrained and where the allowance of offsite parking facilities would help maintain the character and function of the area. Staff proposes to develop a definition for a Multimodal Parking Facility. This may include integrating the use definition of Park and Ride Facility (5-514.D) and adding an accessory Parking Lot use in Article 5-516.
