ISSUE/ AC'l1ON PROPOSED
Council Is requested to approve an ordinance r evtslng the R-2, R-2-C, and R-4 Zone
Dllltrlct Regulatlona. Thlll amendment would allow the r ear 26 feet of property to be
UllCd for commerctal parking, and would amend the R-4 Zone District regulatlona to
r educe the m1nimum lot area for commercial parking lo ts from 24,000 square feet to
12 ,000 square feet. Council Is also requested l.o set Feb ruary 3, 1992 as the Publlc
Heartng date for tlus matter.
PREVIOUS C OONC!L AC'I1ON
Ther e has b een no previou s Council action on this m a tter .
STAFF ANALYSIS
Th e City has r eceived numerous c omplaints fr om persons wh o llve In the vi cin ity of
the South Broadway Commercial Corridor , th a t the employees of b us inesses '!lo n g
So uth Broa dway are parking on the adjacent streets and ave nues In order to fr ee U1e
o n -street parktng spa ces tn front of U1 elr b us in esses on Broadway fo r U1e cus tomers.
ThJs In co n ve nien ces th e r eside nts becau se U1e on -s treet parking tn fr on t of U1ctr
r es idences ts not av, l a b le fo r them or their guests .
Sever al alternatives were revie wed and after s t udy and tnpu! from four pu bll c
meetings, a proposed amendmen t was drafted . ThJs awandm en t would allow
property owners tn the R-2 and R-2-C which abu t or ·..re adjace nt to the 8 -2 District ,
the right to dP ve lop U1e rear twenty-five fee t o~ U1 c1r property as off -street parking fo r
South Broadway bUBlnesses . The proposed amendment In cludes nine condi ti ons
that mUBt be met before the parking area can be developed.
At present, the R-4 Zone District allows commercial p arking lots as a u se by ri gh t.
To develop such a parking lot, 24,000 square feet of lot area Is r equired . Th e
proposed amendment to the R-4 Zone Distric t would r e duce the r equired lot area to
12 ,000 square fe et . ThJs proposed r eduction wo uld make It easier to ass emble
pr.i p erty for such a parking lot.
BACKGROUND
The Issue of off-street parking for South Broadway bus inesses was a ddressed In the
l 970's with the amendment of the R-4 regulations to allow for the d evelopment of
commercial parking Iota. However , to date this parking provision has not teen
widely utlllzed . Clearly, another means of addressing this parking problem was
n ee ded.
Staff undrrtook a study of the problem and determined that the proposed
amendments would be the most workable . The staff d e termined that while parking
Is not a problem for every business, there are problem areas. Tne propoaed
amendment would allow business owners to negotiate with resh1entlal property
owners on a case by case balllll without having t negottate for the entire property In
the case of the R-2 and R-2-C areas. Furthermore this amendment has the least -
tmpact on the residential character of South Acoma Street and South Lincoln Street,
while offering a reaaonable solution to the parking problem.
The Plan ning Commlsslon held a Publlc Heartng on the proposed amendments on
Novemb-!r 19, 1991 , at which time they we re a pproved .
FINANCIAL
Approval of the proposed amen •..ments t o the R-2 , R-2 -C and R-4 Zone District
regulations will not financially Impact the City.

Th e City has received numerou ■ complaint ■ from pereona who live in th8 vicini-
ty of the South Broadway C011'11\e rcial Corridor, that the employee ■ of bu1ine1aea
along South Broadway are parking on the adjacent atrerta and avenuea in order
to free the on-atreet parking apace ■ in front or their ou ■in••••• on Broadway
for the cuatomers. Thia 1 ,conveniences tho resident a becauae t:ha on-atreet

one ■olution in ■imilar ai tuation ■ that the City ha ■ utilized , i ■ to impo1e
two-hour parking re ■trictiona on the r e ■idential ■treat ■ adjacent to th ■
Broadway Corridor. The resident can get a permit to park •• i f there were no
time ll1nitat ion in tha block, and can get two "visitor parking permit ■ .. that -
can be di ■played on their vi 11itor '■ car ■ in order t hat they can park in the
block i n axcaaa of 1-;wo hours . Thia approach to the problem ia not accept able
to all of th• resi dent ■ adjacent to th• Broadwa y corr idor, however . Per ■on ■
t o wh om wa hav e augge ■ted thi ■ cour ■e of action do not understand wh y they
s hould be inconvenienced becau ■e tha buaineaa owner fails to pro v ide adequate
off-street parking f o r empl oyee,s and cuatomora.
An other solut ion to the off-stree t par:,ing that the City has tried to take is
to permit private off-street parking aa a permitted use in a "buffer" zone.
Thia was firat i\ttempted in tho 1950 '& when the Ci ty adopted the P, Parking
Zone Di strict. The intent was comm e nda b le ; however, the on ly use permitted in
the P Zo ne Oistrict was off-street parking. A new City Attor ney ln the ea rl y
l9 60's advised the !J taff that as i t was wr i tten, the P Dist.r ict wa s quite
illegal.
The R-4, Reeidential /Professiona l, wae adopted as a "bu ff er" zone i.n 1963.
Of f-etreet parking l ote a nd residential /pro f e ee ional officee were permi tted i n
the R-4 Zo ne Dist rict with e, mi n imum frontage o f 100 fee t eind single -famil y
and two -family dwellings were perm itted wit h a minimum fr ont.age o f SO feet .
The R-4 Zone District was applied o n the east s1 de of Sou t h Acoma St reet a nd
on the west. si.ds o f south Li ncoln Street between Ya l e a nd Da rtmouth. The
Ralph Schomp Automobile Dealers hip and t hen Kaiser -Permanente in the 2900
bloc k o f South Acoma Street, are the o n l y instances in which the o ff-stree t
pa rk 1ng provieion has been u t i '.i zed ii! intended.
Action was taken in 1984-85 to incre ase the ml n1m um l o t a .:ea for all us es
other th a n residential i n the R-4 Zo ne Dis t rict, to 24,00 0 squ are feet. Thie
wo ul d 1ncrease the minu,-.um l o t are a f o r a parking l ot fr om 100 feet t o 20 0
feet. Thie effei.::tively rendered the o r igi nal intent of the R-4 Zone District
