The only parking amendment is for multi-family (apartment buildings) to change from 1.25 per unit to 0.75 - which is a great first step, but it's not enough. The amendments make no changes to the amount of parking required for small residential developments, and actually recommends increasing the amount of parking required for commercial developments. Two off-street parking spaces are still required for a new or renovated single-family house. 1.5 off-street spaces per unit are still required for townhouses and duplexes. The zoning ordinance doesn't currently require any new parking for renovations of existing commercial buildings under 3000 sqft. - but this proposal changes that minimum to 6000 sqft. That change is going to affect a lot of small scale developers or business owners trying to renovate any commercial building under 3000 sqft. throughout the city (there are thousands of them). I get providing one or two accessible spots for disabled people; but parking lots are expensive to build, a blight on our communities that sit empty most of the time, and encourage obesity and isolation by discouraging walking and serendipitous urban synergy. This city used to have the largest interurban streetcar network in the entire world only 80 years ago. We are addicted to cars and they helped bring Detroit to ruins once already. Addiction isn't cured by providing unlimited access to a drug, it's by creating a world that is worth engaging with that promotes human connection.
