Many employees are using <br /> other travel modes and many employees are using on-street facilities, <br /> depleting the supply of short-term customer and visitor parking. <br /> Reducing or eliminating the minimum off-street parking requirement in the <br /> development code for commercial buildings in downtown will allow the <br /> market place to respond to the real parking needs of new development <br /> without overbuilding off-street parking facilities. This strategy would also <br /> support the overall goal of encouraging other modes of travel for <br /> employees. <br /> GG <br /> Cr <br /> MAKERS architecture and urban design <br /> 74 0509 rp"_orah.aoc-6/29/06 <br />
