GARDEN CITY,
Utah. December 12, 2013. Darrin Pugmire
handed out a suggestion of how to determine the number of parking spaces that
could be required of different business categories. He had three groups as an example. Fast food services as one, fine dining was
the second, and other businesses was the third.
He determined that most people come as a family or group. If the business was fine dining, the number
of seats in the restaurant could be used divided by perhaps 2.5. That would provide an estimate of the number
of parking spaces the restaurant would need to build.
Fast food
businesses need all the spaces that can possibly be provided. Because that business is so difficult to
determine, perhaps the owner could rent or least parking from the City. Any business that needed more parking than
they could provide onsite, could lease spaces from the City at the closest
parking lot to their location. This
would allow the City to make sure all businesses were treated equally. Businesses would either provide their own
parking or lease the needed spaces.
Darrin asked
that the Council Members consider the ideas he presented, and this item could
be placed on the agenda at a future time.
He, however, feels that something concrete needs to be done concerning
parking within the City.
