At the November 13, 2006 Economic Development Commission Meeting, The commission recommended that the City Council appoint a Task Force to review and update the City’s parking Section of the Zoning Ordinance. Specific issues that were discussed included:
- Design criteria – application of existing parking standards do not allow design flexibility to account for irregular shaped parcels or small lots.
- Use Analysis – specific uses and peak demand for those uses must be taken into account during the planning and approval process.
- Townhouse and Condominium Parking – existing parking standards do not reflect higher auto ownership of residents and that impact on visitor parking.
On January 2, 2007, the Milpitas City Council approved the Economic Development Commission’s recommendation to appoint a Parking Task Force to review the City’s Parking Section of the Zoning Ordinance and make recommendations to amend the Ordinance to be more flexible and reflective of the infill challenges facing the Milpitas business community development.
City Staff prepared a Draft Work Plan for the Citywide Parking Study. A subcommittee of the Economic Development Commission reviewed the Work Plan at a meeting on March 19, 2007 and the Economic Development Commission recommended approval to the City Council at its meeting on April 9, 2007.
