Timeline <br />The anticipated timeline for community and stakeholder engagement, research, drafting, and <br />approvals is provided below. <br /> <br />III. Trends in parking systems management <br />As part of research for the zoning code updates, staff and the consultant team will consider <br />national best-practices for parking regulations and their function in existing and new development <br />scenarios. Staff and consultant team will examine these practices and determine their potential <br />applicability within the City of New Brighton. Examples of these are included below: <br />• Right sizing parking and required spaces. Potential reduction of minimum spaces required or <br />removal of the standard; potential maximum spaces required standard. <br />• Electric vehicle (EV) computability. Potential incentives for developers who construct homes <br />and parking lots with EV-ready utilities. <br />• Transit-supportive parking requirements. Developing parking systems and requirements <br />that promote the use of transit (as transit becomes more available in New Brighton). <br />• Flexibility across districts. Potential flexibility for mixed-use districts in meeting the <br />standards of a parking ordinance given the variability of uses allowed therein. <br />• Micro-mobility. Providing adequate right of way and incentives for micro-mobility users, <br />including pedestrians, bicyclists, and bike-/scooter-sharing stations. <br />• Low salt design. There is an emerging opportunity to design paved surfaces that require less <br />salt use in the winter. <br />• Flexibility for alternative parking. Allow for shared parking, proof of parking, use of street <br />parking etc. as a means to think about parking as a limited resource and be efficient.
