The city of Blaine has scheduled an open house regarding proposed changes to downtown parking 4-5:30 p.m. Monday, April 8. The open house will be in Blaine City Council chambers, on the fourth floor of the Banner Bank building, 435 Martin Street.
The residential parking changes would apply to the entire downtown, with additional parking relief for developers in the waterview district, which is mostly the west side of Peace Portal Drive. Under the proposal, developers could potentially opt for a 50 percent reduction in residential parking in the waterview district. The city would require developers with reduced on-site parking to pay an in-lieu fee that would go to downtown transportation improvements, among other elements in the proposal.
Following the open house, Blaine Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the parking proposal at its meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 11 in Blaine City Council chambers.
Planning commission is also looking at a proposal that would allow for increased building heights on the west side of Peace Portal Drive. The commission is expected to continue conversation on the height recommendations during its April meeting and then hold a public hearing on the building heights during a later meeting.
The planning commission will eventually send its parking and building height recommendations to Blaine City Council for a final decision.
