FROM: Wallis Meshier, Interim Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: Ordinance amending the North Killeen Revitalization Program to alleviate minimum off-street parking requirements
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The North Killeen Revitalization Program (NKRP) was established in 2015, readopted in 2020, and amended in 2023. The program waives certain fees for eligible projects within the North Killeen Revitalization Area (NKRA). The purpose of the program is to incentivize new development in North Killeen.
The intent of the proposed amendment is to alleviate minimum off-street parking requirements within the NKRA with the goal of facilitating new infill development in North Killeen. If approved, the proposed amendment will allow the off-street parking requirements, as prescribed in Killeen Code of Ordinances Chapter 31, Article V, Division 3, to be reduced or eliminated by the Executive Director of Development Services, if it is deemed that doing so will advance the City's revitalization efforts.
