Recommendation
Review and consider Ordinance No. 20-19 on first reading, a City-initiated amendment to the Land Develoment Regulations, Section 4.4.3 "Single Family (R-1) Districts,” to delete Subsection I(10), amend Subsections I(11) and (12); and, adding Section 7.1.8. “Construction Parking” to establish regulations for on-site and off-site construction parking.
Body
Background:
The City of Delray Beach continues to attract investment in development and redevelopment of properties. The construction activity associated with the development and redevelopment projects can have a negative impact on the surrounding properties, businesses, and neighborhoods, particularly as it relates to construction-related parking of contractors, sub-contractors, and their employees. As the development and redevelopment projects become larger, more complex, and located within areas already experiencing parking issues, it is necessary to establish regulations addressing on-site and off-site construction parking. The proposed amendments are designed to set the expectations for all construction and construction-related parking and provide a method of enforcement.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) reviwed ordinance No. 20-19 at the July 15, 2019 meeting and recommended approval.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed Ordinance No. 20-19 at the July 15, 2019, meeting and recommended approval (4-1).
