-a- Mr. Dahlgren indicated that Ros�dale Center was requesting the Council to consider a change zn the zoning code which would reduce the required parking for a regional shopping center from the present restriction to S.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet gross leasable area. Mr. Da.hlgren indicated that this request seems reasonable on the basis on an extensive report that had just been comple�ed by the Barton Aschman firm and the recognizable fact that many shapping centers have in the past been built with excessive par]cing being required of them; Har Ma.r, being an example of this. Mr. Dahlgren also indicated that he had reviewecl the parking restrictions in all districts and at this time was ma.lcing suggestions for changes in those parking restrictions. These changes being Iisted in Table �I of his report. Mr. V. Johnson inquired that upon xevzew of Tab1e II it appeaxed the greatest change in parking was in the hospital requirements. Mr. G. Johnson asked the source o£ the remai.nder of the recommendations and Mr. Dah1- gren replaed that they came fxom publications by the Urban. Land Institute, other co�nianities a.nd hxs experi�nce thatc had been gained through warkin.g with various com¢rn.mzt�.es in the metropolitan area. Mr, Kellett asked if it would be safe to say that standards had been reduced except for the hospital zone. Mr. Dahlgren stated that this was not the case but that res�auxants were increased. It has been found that restaurant parking as required by our present code is �nader{uate and that greater definition could be gi.ven to the restaurant parking pro- blem through the use of �he four categories as given in TabZe II. Recomanendation Nfr. Rukavina moved and Mrs. G�shing seconded, that the City Council shvuld consider cha�ging the City Code's parking requirements to those being praposed zn Table II as presented by Howard Dahlgren, with the add�tion that a shopping center zone require- ment be added, that requxrement being S parking spaces per 1,000 sc{uare �eet gross leasable area. It was fuxthex moved that the parking requirement change for a shopping center district should be considered even though �he Council may wish ta not rev�se the park�.ng require�nents in �he other districts at this time.
