Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03 — Transit Zoning Code Amendments July 2, 2019 Page 5 Figure 4. Flex Block Building Type (Left Image) and a Line Block Building Type (Right Image) By increasing the Lined Block building type height to 10-stories, the TZC would maintain the existing ten -story building height limit, but would allow additional types of buildings to be 10-stories in height. The TZC has previously established that Lined Block and Flex Block building types fit well in the DT sub -district, while other building types such as the Tower on Podium building type may be too large to fit on the small downtown blocks. Off -Street Parking Options — In -Lieu Options and/or Park -Once Program Sub -district Impacted: Transit Village (TV), Downtown (DT), Urban Center (UC) sub -districts Proposed Change: Allow required residential guest and nonresidential parking standards to be met by any combination of the following: • On -site parking • Participation in a Park Once Program • Payment of an In -lieu parking fee. Currently, the TZC requires developments in all sub -districts to meet their parking requirements on site. The residential parking requirement of 2 spaces per unit must be provided on -site. However, non-residential and residential guest parking standards in the Transit Village and Downtown sub- district can be met by participating in a Park Once Program and paying a parking in -lieu fee. Both programs have not been defined or established and will require review and approval by the City Council prior to implementation. Parking in -lieu fee programs allow applicants for development projects to pay a designated fee (or "in -lieu") instead of providing off-street parking spaces ordinarily required by the TZC. The purpose of an in -lieu program is not to impose an additional fee or burden on development, but to provide an alternative for projects having difficulty meeting minimum requirements on -site due to space constraints, financial feasibility, or both. Alternatively, a Park -Once Program allows people to park their car once and circulate throughout a downtown via transit or by walking. This program encourages utilization of existing parking structures, enhanced pedestrian mobility, and business viability. The proposed amendments to the TZC would expand the future parking requirement options through a combination of onsite parking, paying an in -lieu fee, and/or participating in a Park Once 75A-5
