MEMORANDUM
March 1, 2018
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Jason Schubert, AICP, Transportation Planning Coordinator
SUBJECT: Update on Single-Family Residential Parking Requirements for Platting Options
Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an update of the options for
Single-Family Residential Parking Requirements for Platting.
Summary: As part of the 2017 P&Z Plan of Work, a Traffic Calming item was part of the
Neighborhood Integrity section. The presentation will provide an overview of the residential
parking options listed in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for new single-family
subdivisions and how they have been implemented thus far.
Background: In spring 2012, the City Council established a Joint Neighborhood Parking Task
Force that consisted of City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission members. The purpose
of the Task Force was to seek solutions regarding emergency access and on-street parking
concerns along residential streets. An outcome of the Task Force’s efforts was the adoption of a
new section of UDO in September 2013 entitled “Single-Family Residential Parking
Requirements for Platting.” The section seeks to be preemptive and limit the potential for
emergency access and parking issues being created in new single-family subdivisions by
providing developers a menu of residential parking options to choose from.
The ordinance section provides a developer six residential parking options to choose from:
• Wide lot frontages – If residential lots are at least 70 feet in width, the standard
residential street can be constructed without on-street parking being removed.
• Standard streets – Construct the standard 27-foot wide residential street with parking
removed on only one side or both sides. If removed from both sides, additional parking
is to be provided for visitors in alleys or separate parking areas.
• Wider streets – Construct 32 to 38-foot wide streets with additional right-of-way which
allows parking to remain on both sides of the street though traffic calming bulb outs are
to be provided at intersections to narrow the street and help slow speeds.
• Narrower streets – Construct 22 to 24-foot wide streets with parking removed on both
sides and additional parking provided for visitors in alleys or separate parking areas.
• Visitor alley-fed off-street parking – The standard street can be constructed without
on-street parking being removed as additional parking is provided for visitors in an alley
at a rate of at least 1 space for every 4 dwelling units.
• Visitor parking areas - The standard street can be constructed without on-street
parking being removed as additional parking space is provided for visitors in separate
parking areas at a rate of at least 1 space for every 4 dwelling units.
