Hi Emily,

 

Juneau’s Planning Commission will be looking at proposed parking district changes at their meeting on May 25^th.  Proposed ideas include:

·         60% parking reduction in a downtown parking district.

·         Waiver application in downtown (currently, downtown properties cannot pursue waivers).

·         Continuing fee-in-lieu for the downtown area.  Note that the fee is proposed at $10,000 per space, and contrary to current code, there is no reduction for residential development.

 

The parking information is the second item on the Regular Agenda.  https://packet.cbjak.org/MeetingView.aspx?MeetingID=1494&MinutesMeetingID=-1&doctype=Agenda

 

If interested you can watch it on Zoom.

 

This is the Commission’s introduction to the changes proposed by the Title 49 Committee.  They will be taking testimony.

 

Let me know if you have questions,
