After discussion of the <br />issue, the members of both Commissions directed staff to amend <br />the County off-street parking and loading ordinance in a manner <br />which would save some desirable trees. <br />On June 26, 1986 the Planning and Zoning Commission, in a 3-0 <br />vote, voted to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance <br />amendment to the Board of County Commissioners subject to staff <br />revision or deletion of one of the ordinance's performance <br />standards. That performance standard has been deleted in the <br />current ordinance proposal. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: <br />The proposed ordinance amendment allows for. a reduction of <br />required parking spaces at one space for each protected tree up <br />to a maximum of ten percent of the total number of required <br />spaces. To receive this reduction, the applicant must meet the <br />following performance standards: <br />1) The off-street parking area shall contain a minimum of ten <br />(10) parking spaces; <br />2) The applicant shall agree to replace each protected tree <br />with a parking space in the event of the death or removal <br />of such trees used for parking space reduction. <br />The proposed ordinance amendment provides for Planning & Zoning <br />Commission review and -authorization of all parking space <br />reductions based upon protection of trees. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt <br />the proposed ordinance. <br />45 <br />AUG 6 1966 <br />L_ <br />BOOK 65 FnUE 316 <br />i <br />
