Parking Minimums Code Amendment - Resolution 8, Series 2025 recommending to the City Council approval of an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) concerning parking minimums for multifamily and adaptive reuse development to comply with HB24-1304. Staff Presentation: Post introduced the presentation for the ordinance. He said that the change was required to bring the City into compliance with a new state law that prohibited minimum parking requirements in some circumstances. He outlined the parts of the city were parking minimums would no longer be permitted, and how the new policy would be implemented. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommended approval of Resolution 8, Series 2025. Commissioner Questions of Staff. Hunt asked whether the City can still apply its EV charging and accessibility requirements if developers choose to provide parking spaces. Post said yes. Brauneis asked whether the 228 bus met the definition of frequent transit. Post said no because it only ran every 60 minutes instead of the 30 minute standard set by the legislation. Brauneis asked whether a private shuttle that met the requirements could be considered a transit service. Post said that this was considered by DOLA and could factor into the transit service area. Bangs asked about the number of units that could be added with a reduced number of parking spaces.
