This is awesome!

A brief view of the changes:

  • Eliminating parking mandates downtown and within half a mile of light rail and streetcar stations

  • Eliminating parking mandates for offices and most retail

  • Eliminating parking mandates for residential uses, while maintaining one parking space per unit for developments over 200 units

  • Reducing parking mandates for bars and restaurants while removing mandates completely for establishments under 2,500 square feet

  • Eliminating parking mandates for designated historic buildings
