| Parking Supply Management: Flexible Requirements |
|
Flexible parking requirements permit developers to reduce the number of parking spaces provided in exchange for actions such as transit/pedestrian supportive land uses, mixed-use development, provision of bicycle parking, preferential carpool parking, placement of carsharing vehicles on site, shared parking agreements, fees paid in lieu of on-site parking, reductions in off-street parking requirements, etc.. See Washington State Commute Trip Reduction Office, 1999 for an overview of parking policy. Case/Example: HOV parking requirements of Seattle (WA); Placement of parking behind buildings of Everett (WA).

City of Dallas. As per the Dallas Development Code, “the board may grant a special exception to authorize a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces required if the board finds that the parking demand generated by the use does not warrant the number of off-street parking spaces required, and the special exception would not create a traffic hazard or increase traffic congestion on adjacent or nearby streets.” In determining whether to grant a special exception, among other things, “the extent to which the parking spaces provided will be remote, shared, or packed parking, the availability of public transit and the likelihood of its use and the feasibility of parking mitigation measures” will be considered. Division 51-a-4.30, Off-street Parking Reduction, Part II of the Dallas Development Code
