Mr. Wickens suggested that the idea be discussed with the merchants whose businesses would be affected, as well as landowners with property which might be suitable for the building of a parking lot, to be screened from view from the street as well as their property.
M^ Wickens’ suggestion that the parking requirement include employees met with opposition from Commissioner Reinhardt Lynch. “The number of employees changes, as well as the number who drive to work,” he said.
The key, Mr. Wickens maintained, “is that parking needs to be a blend. It needs to reflect the individual needs” of each business.
Mr. Lynch suggested that there be no requirement for off-street parking for commercial uses of less than 500 square feet, and that the one space per 500 square feet requirement begin with uses of 5001000 square feet.
The five commissioners present agreed to discuss the parking amendment at the January meeting, once they had studied Mr. Reynolds’ proposal.
