Provide incentives that allow for reduced automobile parking up to 10% if additional bicycle parking is provided. • Expand options within the Shared Parking table to allow more uses to participate in shared parking and expand the time periods, thereby reducing the overall number of parking spaces. Director is given discretion to waive up to 10% of the total number of spaces based upon detailed parking study. • Establish procedures and criteria to allow areas to create different parking standards, such as reduced parking requirements, expanded distance for off-site parking, or even the removal of parking requirements. These areas are called Special Parking Areas and are the next generation of Parking Management Areas. • Per requests from the community, the “Warehouse District” on the north side of Downtown has now been included in the Central Business District (CBD) – a district exempt from off-street parking requirements. • Allow a 40% reduction in the parking requirements for a protected landmarked or contributing structure within a historic district that receives an approved Certificate of Appropriateness • Allow grandfathered uses to redevelop into a less intense use without providing additional parking provided, however, they maintain existing parking spaces. • Allow a 20% reduction in the parking requirements for transit-orientated developments that opt-in to the pedestrian/transit focused performance standards found in Chapter 42. http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/DevelopRegs/offstreet/docs_pdfs/Chapter26_Ordinance_march_2013.pdf | (29.7601927°, -95.3693896°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
