PlanningBoard | 2020-08-17 | 12 | Board Member Curtis asked how changing the code helps the lack of parking. Director Thomas spoke about all the successful places on Park St without parking and if limiting parking encourages public transit so be it. He mentioned the city's Climate Action Plan that specifically said the city needs to stop generating traffic and the greenhouse gasses caused by people driving all the time. President Teague reminded everyone that tonight's discussion was not about parking and pushed for a vote on the item. Board Member Rothenberg made a motion to approve the item subject to complete drawings with all the elements for a design review. It must include making sure the residential space is only a residential space, staff must review that the publicly used spaces comply with Title 24 and city ordinance, and staff must review the materials being used. Board Member Hom seconded the motion, President Teague took a roll call vote and the motion passed 4-2, with President Teague and Board Member Curtis opposed.
