2 1. If parking areas/lots are to be provided they are only permitted to the rear/behind proposed or existing development.
2. Reduce maximum allowable two-way driveway widths to 15’.
3. Plan now for future City parking lots along Artesia Boulevard by identifying potential locations.
4. Prohibit restaurants (fast food) and restaurants with drive throughs.
5. Add cross-walks at intersections within the AACAP where they don’t currently exist.
6. Direct City staff to develop preliminary future Artesia Boulevard right-of-way improvements that include multiple parking designs that can accommodate additional parking spaces as well as future City parking lot locations.
3 Planning Commission Recommendations (Sep 18th)
• Off-street parking areas shall be
located to the rear of the primary
building or structure
• Drafted two options for rear parking
to allow for exceptions
• One requires AUP or CUP and all three
findings
• Second requires only AUP and two
findings
4 Rear Parking Requirements and Exceptions
1. Site Constraints. Physical site conditions, including not limited to lot depth, topography, corner lot condition, or the location of existing structures make rear parking infeasible
2. Business Operations. The proposed business or use has operational characteristics that warrant front parking, such as customer pickup/drop-off areas, accessibility needs, or similar functions, and rear parking would substantially impair the business operation
3. Design Mitigation. Parking located in front of the primary building is designed and screened to minimize visual impacts from the public right-of-way
5 Option 1 - Original Draft Process/ Findings
Parking in front may be allowed through an AUP or CUP subject to all three findings
6 Option 2 – Updated Process/Findings
PROCEDURES/RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Open the public hearing, take testimony
2. Close the public hearing
3. Select a preferred option for rear parking process and findings
4. INTRODUCE BY TITLE ONLY ORDINANCE NO. 3306-25, AN
