Applicant Response: Housing Hope residents are actively encouraged to practice communal ride/car sharing. Housing Hope's research has concluded that these affordable housing developments generate fewer resident vehicles, which reduces impact to air quality. Further, car/ride sharing permits fewer parking stalls than would be required by code for typical multi -family development. The submitted Concept Plan provides 53 on -site stalls and four proposed on -street spaces where the code requires only 34 parking stalls. This generous on -site parking provision is intended to minimize parking impacts along Norton Avenue. Chapter 4. Housing Element II. Laws and Guidelines Influencing Everett's Housing Element A.
