Guest speaker

Councilman Ryan Dorsey will discuss City Council Bill 20-0561 entitled “Fossil Fuel Infrastructures.” The purpose of the Bill is to reduce and discourage reliance on fossil fuels. One feature of this bill, which would have an impact within Upper Fell’s Point, is the provision repealing requirements for providing a minimum number of off-street parking spaces for various use types. Off-street parking requirements are frequently cited when neighborhoods oppose conversions of single family homes to multi-family dwellings within their community, such as the project proposed for 236 S Ann that was discussed at our August meeting.

We may have a possible vote on whether we support or oppose this Bill. Visit the following for more information on the elimination of parking minimums
