Commissioner direction was given on key provisions, and a public hearing was scheduled for July 17, 2025.

No public comment this evening. Thank you. Excellent. Thank you. That brings us to our study item. Uh development code amendments to eliminate parking minimums citywide. All right, thank you. I will um go through these relatively quick the slides, and then we'll have time for discussion and questions. Um if you have any. So uh tonight we'll just do some follow-up from our May 1st discussion meeting, review the additional changes um that are contained in your packet tonight. Um, have some discussion and then um uh provide some direction for actually that's for um a July our next uh meeting in July. So uh uh there were two uh follow-up um items from uh last meeting which had to do with parking and setbacks and the maximum number of parking uh vehicles parked outdoors. Um so there was a uh figure provided in your staff report um to provide some clarification about this provision um where parking on a residential lot is with in on the driveway and within setbacks. So to provide some clarification for this one, it is um is recommending that the um proposal be um deleted, but the commission can discuss that. But this is an example of where driveways are located within setbacks and you can park there, but parking is not look allowed in setbacks, so it just to get that uh code provision um clarified in some way. Um and then the second question was the um the commission had um questions about the number of cars allowed outside and um and you were concerned about you know without some limit or um outdoor vehicle storage um that someone could you know essentially have a parking lot on their residential pro property and then calling out specific housing types was uh providing um some challenges with our new um and our one, two, and three middle housing um dwellings.
