ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The staff, as part of its analysis of parking standards and regulations, considered existing parking criteria in other jurisdictions as well as information included within recent studies on parking demand, needs, criteria, and standards. Based upon this information, the staff has proposed a number of revisions to the County's current parking regulations. As proposed, the revisions to Section 24 of the County's zoning code will incorporate standards for compact car parking spaces; include standards for uses not previously addressed in 1. the regulations;. revise existing standards for certain uses where the current standards are not sufficient; and amend certain parts of the current regulations needing revision. In developing these revisions, the staff considered alternative standards in relation to the needs of the County. The staff then incorporated in the amended parking regulations those standards which most closely corresponded to the parking needs of Indian River County. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the ordinance amending Section 24, Off-street Parking and Loading requirements, of Appendix A, Zoning, of the Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances. Robert Keating, Planning & Zoning Dept. Manager, presented staff's recommendation and stated that they had neglected to insert a provision for parallel parking spaces. Considerable discussion followed re the space needed for parallel parking as compared to angle parking. Chairman Bird felt he had to rely on staff's expertise, in this matter but questioned the requirement of 120 parking spaces at the bowling alley as opposed to the 45 spaces required at the golf course. Administrator Wright explained that the 45 spaces were just for the people who are supposed to be on the course and that the.other buildings had their own requirements. 75 P 11983 WK � ruM SE 2 _
