Parking persuader passed

THE CITY has armed itself with
a club 1o persuade those con-
structing new buildings in the
eastern part of the downtown core
to provide off-sirect parking.

City building regulations re-
quire any development to include
on-site parking stalls, the number
depending on the size of the
building and its proposed use,

However, a 1986 by-law
waived those requirements in the
eastern downtown area,

The rationale at the time was it
would encourage ihe establish-
ment of new businesses.

Last July a city staff planning
group called for the repeal of the
by-law.

The recommendation followed
increasing complaints fom mer-
chants and the Happy Gang
Centre about downtown parking
problems.

Council has now given two
readings to a new by-law repeal-
ing the 1986 measure, but will
hold it there for now.

That means the original relaxa-
tion is still in force. '

Administrator Bob Hallsor said
the city will still ask developers
to provide off-street parking,

The most recent development in
that area, the Plark building at the
comer of Kalum and Lakelse, did
just that.

However, having a repealing
by-law al the ready gives the city
what Hallsor called “‘an option’?
should a future developer decline
to provide off-street parking.

In other words, if a developer
tefuses to co-operate, council can
quickly repeal the 1986 relaxation
and force compliance.

ALREADY FACING parking congestion in much of the
downtown area, council last week took steps to ensure new con-
struction at the east end doesn’t make the problem worse.
