73850541City of GreensboroGreensboroUSANorth America2017PublicPrivate TransportTransportation demand managementGreensboro Transit Authority's Corporate Connections program allows employers to subsidize employees' transit passes. The Greensboro Transportation Department adopted a complete update of its Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan in 2015, to guide development of new facilities for non-motorized transportation. Greensboro adopted a new Land Development Ordinance in 2010, which created standards for reduction of minimum required off-street parking when site is located within 1,000 feet of a transit stop, and/or when on-site bicycle parking is provided. Off-street parking requirements can also be completely waived for development on existing lots that do not meet minimum lot width requirements. A subsequent amendment to the LDO allows up to 100% shared parking, subject to certain conditions. Incentives come in the form of reduced costs of parking construction and resulting stormwater management treatments, and simplified permitting process. Also, structures officially designated as historic and structures (greater than 50 years old) deemed to have historic value, are exempt from off street parking requirements. A reduction of up to 30% of required parking is available for sites served by greenways. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted as accessory uses in all residential zoning districts, subject to setbacks and other applicable standards. The "Upper Story Residential" use category allows dwelling unit to be occupied on second floor of a structure with a business use on the ground floor.(36.072635°, -79.791975°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
