The Columbus Development Commission will take up those ideas Thursday.
According to the plan, residential and commercial developers would have to pay a one-time fee of $15,000 per parking space if they don t meet city requirements for parking. But there would be a cap as to how much a developer would pay, said Amanda Ford, a manager with the city s parking services section.
It would cover only future development, and would not be retroactive to projects already announced, she said, such as developments now rising on the Scioto Peninsula just west of COSI.
Affordable housing projects also may receive breaks in fees if they don t meet parking standards, she said.
