HERE Kansas apartments are shown under construction, Friday, Jan. 22, 2016, as seen looking east from near Memorial Stadium.

Parking problems surrounding the HERE @ Kansas luxury apartment and retail development will not be discussed at this month’s Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission meeting, and it’s unsure when the issue will be decided.

HERE LLC, the development group behind the under-construction HERE @ Kansas, is putting off its proposal to the Planning Commission for a new parking garage in order to come up with alternatives, said Sandy Day, a city planner working on the project.

Deferred from the Planning Commission were items on rezoning the property at 1137 Indiana St. and deciding whether to approve the preliminary development plan for the 97-space parking garage that would go there.

The 0.28-acre property is currently the site of a 12-unit apartment building owned by a group led by Lawrence resident Ed Carter. It’s located just south of the HERE @ Kansas site.

The parking garage was proposed after HERE learned in October the company creating a planned robotic parking garage had filed bankruptcy. Its new plan leaves the project with 69 fewer spaces than planned and 25 fewer than what’s required by city law to fill the apartments to capacity.

Day said Tuesday that HERE was now working with city staff and Kansas University to find other parking options without having to demolish the apartment building at 1137 Indiana St. Day did not elaborate on what those alternatives may be.

“So it is deferred; it’s on hold while we explore alternative options for a parking arrangement for the project,” Day said.

Also in the works is a separate issue on how to deal with the already-constructed parking garage that can no longer be robotic.

In January, HERE proposed to the City Commission that the garage be used for valet parking only. Commissioners voiced concerns about the width of the parking spaces and whether the system would cause future tenants to park elsewhere in the already congested Oread neighborhood.

Commissioners unanimously voted to send the plan back to the Planning Commission in order for city staff to determine whether it was practical. It’s unsure when that issue will go back before the City Commission.
