Ms. Delios provided an overview of what is being proposed at <br />subsequent Town Meeting. Section 6.1 of the Reading Zoning By -Law (ZBL) holds provisions for off - <br />street parking. This section of the ZBL does not provide alternatives to providing off - street parking on- <br />site. The proposed zoning amendment will allow remote parking facilities, shared parking arrangements, <br />and the phased development of parking spaces through a Special Permit from the CPDC. This would <br />allow CPDC to review proposals for alternative parking situations and not leave it to the Board of <br />Appeals through a variance process as the current by -law requires. Ms. Delios added that this will help <br />"make sites work" when there may be challenges related to the size, shape or presence of natural <br />resources on the site. She cited Perfecto's as an example of a business which could benefit from these <br />new changes. The "phased parking spaces" element of the proposed changes will allow an applicant to <br />gain a sense of the demand before committing to a certain amount of parking. Ms. Delios continued <br />with the presentation of the proposed changes. <br />Remote Parking — the applicant must provide a deed, easement or agreement to use the land in which <br />parking is required. <br />Page 1 of 7 <br />
