Re: Proposed adoption of remote parking in RH zone within 300 ft of DCSC
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
At the January 28, 2003 City Council meeting, you held a public hearing for the referenced
matter and passed the matter unanimously on the first reading. The matter appeared to be non-
controversial on the first reading.
HEARING ON TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW
REMOTE PARKING IN THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RH) DISTRICT,
WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY-IMPACTED OVERLAY (O-Ul) DISTRICT, WITHIN 300
FEET OF THE DOWNTOWNICAMPUSTOWN SERVICE CENTER (DCSC): Mayor
Tedesco opened the public hearing.There being no one wishing to speak, he closed the hearing.
Moved by Hoffman, seconded by Vegge, to pass on first reading an ordinance making a text
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow remote parking in the Residential High Density
(RI) District, within the University-Impacted Overlay (O-UI) District, within 300 feet of the
Downtown/Campustown Service Center(DCSC).
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Due to the tirneframe of a series of steps we have to complete to make a development in this area
occur by August of 2003, we respectfully request that you suspend the rules and act on the
second and third readings of this ordinance at the February 11, 2003 meeting of the City Council.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
/umss McCullough Ph.D,
Chief Economist
