<br />. City of Louisville <br /> <br />Planning Department <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />BRaD committee members <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Gavin McMillan, Planner II <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Louisville Parking Study <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />June 1, 2008 <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />In December of 2008, Planning Staff met with BRaD to discuss the possibility of <br />amending the amount charged as a fee-in-lieu of parking. At that meeting, and at a <br />subsequent special meeting in January of 2009, BRaD committee members requested <br />more information on the current state of parking in downtown Louisville. The committee <br />also requested that staff provide information on how other communities handle parking <br />downtown. <br /> <br />To comply with these requests, Planning Staff completed a Parking Study for Downtown <br />Louisville. The study was completed to address three questions; <br /> <br />1. Is the current parking requirement ratio for downtown (1 :400) appropriate? <br />2. What, if any, is the appropriate fee-in-lieu of providing parking that should be <br />charged downtown? <br />3. If additional parking is required to meet future needs, where would it make <br />most sense to locate it? <br /> <br />A map of the study area and an overview of the work plan and methodology are included <br />as Attachments 1 and 2. The Executive Summary included as Attachment 3 provides a <br />synopsis of the key findings of the study. Staff has also included a synopsis of how <br />downtown parking is handled in Golden, Boulder, Loveland, and Washington DC. <br /> <br />A great deal of data has been gathered for this study. Staff is presenting this information <br />in the June packet for BRaD review. We will be available at the June 1 meeting to <br />answer any additional questions and gather your feedback. Staff will return to the July <br />BRaD meeting with specific policy recommendations for your consideration and <br />discussion. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Attachment 1: Study Area Map <br />Attachment 2: Work Plan and Methodology <br />Attachment 3: Executive Summary <br />Attachment 4: Downtown Parking in Boulder, Golden, Loveland, and Washington DC <br /> <br />749 Main Street .
