Abstract:

Several North American cities have recently adopted innovative approaches to central business district (CBD) parking requirements to manage the supply and location of downtown parking. Traditional zoning ordinances require sufficient parking in downtown developments to accommodate automobile access by building tenants and visitors. Some new approaches to parking involve the provision of an enhanced parking supply as an incentive to the economic development or redevelopment of an urban area; these approaches are generally being pursued in areas whose goals and objectives relate to economic development and new employment opportunities. Other new approaches to parking are directed at reducing the supply of downtown parking or redirecting new parking supply to the CBD periphery; these techniques generally are being pursued in areas where alternatives to automobile commuting exist or can be created. This paper reviews innovative parking policies in selected cities and describes and assesses the range of tactics for off-street parking supply that can be used in activity centers.
