Rosemary District Parking

Summary

Mayor Trice argues the parking shortage exists because the city never required developers of multi-unit housing to provide enough accessible spaces, and now taxpayers would subsidize new parking. She asked staff to research a fix, complicated by state preemption under SB 180.
