The Zoning Code Parking Update

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission's 2012 report emphasizes the need for a zoning code update to facilitate urban infill development. Key findings reveal that increasing off-street parking won't reduce on-street congestion, and current requirements hinder commercial projects by being overly specific and costly. Recommendations include adjusting requirements based on context, allowing shared parking, and exempting nonresidential uses from minimum requirements on smaller lots. This update aims to streamline parking regulations, improve utilization of existing resources, and protect neighborhoods through an enhanced Residential Parking Permit Program.
