NWAP will relocate as they don't necessarily need the prime spot on the corner.<br /><br />H&R is withdrawing its request to reduce the City proposed parking requirement from 1 parking stall for every unit to .75 based on letters from neighbors, voicing their concerns regarding parking. They feel this is a reasonable compromise.<br /><br />In order to meet the parking requirement, they have asked the city whether it is possible that they will need some sort of access from High Street for a parking lot. The City staff report and the H&R current conceptual drawing do not currently show this access, nor do they show sufficient parking to meet this requirement. They have asked Pete Dickinson if the possibility of this access simply be noted so that it won’t limit this possibility of this access for the future.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-44514928242663296362007-02-02T05:53:00.000-08:002007-02-02T05:53:00.000-08:00Northwest Auto Parts is not part of the project, t...Northwest Auto Parts is not part of the project, they will be staying. The larger parking lot pictured in the plans is the Shermer Parking lot and Northwest Auto Parts (NWAP) is adjacent. <br /><br />The area is zoned C-2, which allows for one apartment per 1000 feet of lot space. The lot is 25,000 square feet, allowing him to build 25 apartments outright, with no parking requirement. He is asking for a variance, which would allow him to build 50 apartments. Only because he is asking for a variance can the<br />City can impose a parking requirement. In my opinion, the City zoning code needs to be updated to address modern parking issues.April E.

Parking on Pioneer hill could be negatively affect just as it is on college hill where you have more people living than places to park cars. <br /><br />I love the idea of the place! We just need to realize we are in a socitey where everyone has a car. And as such, we need to plan our developments and streets accordingly.Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587071399974432502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-58203419510624732482007-02-01T20:59:00.000-08:002007-02-01T20:59:00.000-08:00I support the project if they can tackle the parki...I support the project if they can tackle the parking issue. As it is proposed, there will be 50 apartment units and 26 parking spaces. The overflow will have to compete with current retail and residential parking. If the overflow is only one car per apartment, it will take half of the Shermer's parking lot. If each apartment has more than one car, it could require the entire lot. That scenario would cost nearby businesses many lost customers, which seems to me an overall loss for downtown Pullman.April E.
