Commissioner Hernandez, District 2 Parking Commissioner Hernandez suggested a new concept regarding parking at Parkside by using the system the CRA is trying, parking on both sides with yield areas. If it works for the beach, it should be tried in Parkside also. Commissioner Hernandez stated something needs to be done regarding the Regional Activity parking ratio of 1 to 1, verses historic ratio of 1 to 5. This needs to be corrected before the development is done, rather than after development which is difficult to resolve.
