GOAL UD-2: Improve the built environment through sustainable development that is proportional and aesthetically related to its setting.

2.1

Emerging technology. Consider updating the zoning code to require mixed-use and multifamily residential projects to incorporate on-site lanes/spaces for transportation network companies (TNC) and other emerging technologies. As parking demand begins to outstrip parking supply in established business districts, conduct curbside management studies to identify pick-up and drop-off areas for TNC services to maintain the character of historic and established districts; reduce parking demand; limit vehicle idling, searching, and circling; and encourage pedestrian activity.
