CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Jeremy Pate, Director of Development Services
From : Data Sanders, Current Planner
Date: November 24, 2009
Subject: UDC Chapter 172 Amendments (ADM 09-3463)
BACKGROUND
City Planning Staff is responsible for administering the parking and loading requirements
of the Unified Development Code, Chapter 172 and has noted specific allowances and
requirements that do not benefit development in the City or work toward achieving the
goals and objectives of City Plan 2025 . Staff finds that the current parking ratios,
regulations, and allowances do not adequately promote the use of or accommodate the
needs of alternative forms of transportation (walking, bike, motorcycle, scooter, or bus)
nor are they consistent with Fayetteville's peer cities. Minor amendments proposed
include the addition of parking ratio and vehicular stacking requirements and elimination
of unnecessary regulation; however, staff proposes significant revisions for on-street
parking, off-street parking, and variations in the parking requirements.
PROPOSAL
Staff proposes to amend two (2) chapters of the UDC regarding parking requirements and
regulations as summarized below and attached in full to this staff report:
