Notice is hereby given of a public hearing to be held by the Planning Commission at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 2, 2019, and by the Town Council at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, at the Town Municipal Building, Council Hall, 215 East Main Street for the purpose of:
Section 702 Off-street parking, driveways, and entrances.
702.03. Parking requirements: Limited Business District B-1, Limited Professional District LP, and Central Neighborhood Workplace CNW.
In cases in which either existing lot or building sizes prohibit feasible satisfaction of the requirements related to minimum off-street parking, driveways, and/or entrances within the Limited Business District (B-1), Limited Professional District (LP), and the Central Neighborhood Workplace District (CNW) the Zoning Administrator may adjust or waive the parking requirements for either new or established permitted uses based on the following considerations:
The proximity of public parking (either on- or off-street) that could practically accommodate the use, building, and/or lot in question may be considered to satisfy the Town’s interests as represented by this section.
Within the LP district the development requirements for parking may be waived only if access to a minimum of two permanent off-street parking spaces can be demonstrated.
Procedures specified shall not apply to existing buildings. In cases involving existing buildings, the parking requirements of this ordinance may be waived by the Zoning Administrator.
The Zoning Administrator shall issue a written statement documenting the reasons for any adjustment or waiver issued in conjunction with this section. For all activities requiring a zoning permit, the written statement shall be attached to said permit.
Information is on file in the office of Planning & Community Development.
Anyone who is in favor of or opposed to the request will have an opportunity to express his/her views at this hearing.
By the Authority of the Planning Commission and the Town Council of the Town of Bedford
