ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Monroe County Department of Planning and Environmental Resources identified a need to amend the
Monroe County Code parking standards, to correct previous drafting errors, clarifY parking requirements,
cover issues prcviously not addressed, and to amend parking provisions to provide for increased flexibility in
administration to recognize unique situations where parking and loading provisions may not be appropriate.
Staff researched current trends in parking requirements in gated communities.
The proposed parking regulations provide for reductions in parking requirements in gated communities
based on the use of golf cart type vehicles, provide for greater flexibility in shared parking, reduce the
number and size of off-street loading spaces and provide the planning director with the opportunity to waive
certain parking requirements allO\ving greater flexibility and ease of development.
The Planning Commission reviewed the staff draft and following a public hearing, recommended approval
with modifications.
