St. Cloud Considering Off Street Parking Requirement Changes

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- St. Cloud is looking to slash the minimum required off-street parking spaces.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the topic during its meeting Tuesday night.

The proposal from the administration is to reduce the minimum off-street parking requirement from two spaces to one space for all types of housing. A multi-family housing unit would require one space per unit.

Community Development Director Matt Glaesman says while this sets a new minimum requirement, there is no maximum standard. He says one-third of St. Cloud residents don't have more than one vehicle.
