Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 8, 2023 Page 3 of 6 Choi suggested calling it out if needed. He asked about distances from the courts and how they would be allocated to the courts. He gave the example of the skate park, rec center, and tennis courts at the City's Recreation Center. Zuccaro replied that staff had not discussed that question. He noted that parking had to be on the property, though shared parking agreements and waivers were an option through a PUD process. If there were a shared parking agreement the applicant would likely be going through a PUD hearing process. Choi asked how this item came up. Zuccaro replied that there was a current PUD application and there was a chance that it would be administratively reviewed. It could become a quasi- judicial public hearing before Planning Commission, though, which was why staff was not being specific about that item. Howe asked how this resolution would apply to existing courts, such as those without parking. Zuccaro replied that if a new facility were to be built, they would provide parking based on this standard or they could request a waiver. Howe asked if a court that already existed were to be added on to, would it be subject to this standard. Zuccaro described that many parks had been developed without PUDs over the years, but this would apply in the future for public courts and depending on the location, what exists, and what the demands were, the City could be seeking its own parking waiver for a public court in the future. He noted that it would apply to public and private as written. Osterman asked if this were not passed, what would the process be. Zuccaro stated that one of the underlying uses would probably be applied, but it would likely not fit for the sport court use and may result a calculation that would require more parking spaces than needed and would require a waiver. He stated that to get a waiver you have to go through the public hearing process. Having a standard that was appropriate would allow an applicant to comply with a standard rather than necessarily having to go through a public review process, which takes additional time. He noted that standards in general are meant to address issues such as traffic, congestion, and parking in neighborhoods. Baskett stated that she thought we tended to overpark in the US and she would hate to see more asphalt go down than was needed. She thought that at least some people playing pickleball would bike or similar. She asked if 3 spaces instead of 4 would be sufficient. 5
