City unveils
parking plan

THE LATEST plan to deal
with downtown parking basical-
ly abandons the’ stringent rules
of the city’s existing bylaw. -

Those rules were blamed
for keeping new business out of
downtown, Every time a shop
changed hands, the use changed,.
invoking: the higher parking
requirement. ;

The new proposal 4 is aimed
at making it easier for business .
to conform to the rules.)

‘It would divide all business. [/
uses into three categories of des-
tination, intermediate and sub-
sidiary businesses, . .

The principle is that many
businesses downtown: -aren’t |
destinations i in. and of them-
selves, but gain ‘most: business
by walk-in traffic. Fewer park-
ing spaces would be required for
those businesses.

Businesses: that still can rt
-| provide the required. amount of

on-site parking = either’ on. ‘site fl.
or rented within 750° feet. -— 1%
would pay a monthly fee intoa lp
downtown parking fund. for-| »
