I certainly hope it doesn’t pass!

Anyone out there willing to put up a parking garage? Each business could count a portion of the garage as their quota. Even a parking garage just outside the area with a shuttle should work.

Just pointing out another reason this is unbelievably stupid.

Its a little late for that now… maybe there are exceptions to the rule besides historical markers that we arent aware of?? BUt I doubt it.. There is no way I can see this going through. Tell people to quit moving to Houston.. We are good! haha

Zoned cities have lots of land use conflicts, just like Houston.

Will these businesses increasing their parking help the city or the city government in any other ways? Will it help economically? I’d guess it would hurt more than help, since portions of businesses might have to close down for construction. Some may even lessen the space in which they do business, which is also a decrease in encome. It certainly doesn’t place a positive impact on the environment either, since there will be construction and, as mentioned above, this whole ordinance encourages the use of automobiles versus alternative transportation.

With other seemingly more pressing issues at hand, why is this a focus for the government, and what do they seek to get out of it? As stated before, I’m admittedly not the most savvy when it comes to this subject and it’s quite possible I’m missing something obvious.
