She explained that clarification is needed to more accurately identify how the parking requirement for a hospital use is calculated, as well as other uses not expressly identified within the zoning code. She stated the amendment would add the specific parking requirement for hospitals and would also add language allowing the Planning Director to determine the parking requirement for other uses not listed in the code, based upon International Code Council requirements. Kruskamp opened the public hearing to public comment and Byrum stated that in the future if a public transit system is put in place, the off-street parking requirements will need to be reviewed again at that time.
