Park District Planned Development Overlay | Exhibit A.1 – Title 19 Code Modifications Page 13 <br />Exhibit A.1_Park District PDO_Code Modifications_24-0703 <br />Parking Reduction Options <br />This section modifies EMC 19.34.025. In the Park District PDO multifamily parking reductions <br />for affordable housing, frequent transit proximity, and an approved transportation demand <br />management plan are modified and they may be combined. <br />B. Multifamily Off-Street Parking Reductions. Multifamily residential development may reduce <br />required off-street parking based on factors shown below. A transportation demand management <br />(TDM) plan (EMC 19.34.080) is required for use of any of these reduction factors. For the purpose <br />of this section, “reduction factor” is the total number of parking stalls required after a reduction <br />credit is applied. For example, one hundred stalls required with a reduction factor of 0.75 means <br />that seventy-five stalls would be required with the reduction factor applied. The credit in this case <br />would be twenty-five parking stalls. The reduction factors can be applied in combination, resulting <br />in a higher cumulative reduction. <br /> <br />Table 34-3: Multifamily Parking Reduction (Resident Characteristics) <br />Resident Characteristic: Reduction Factor** <br />Extremely low-income (30% AMI or below) 0.50 <br />Low-income (60% AMI* or below) 0.65 <br />* AMI means “area median income” for Snohomish County. Use of this option requires the developer to record a <br />covenant that prohibits use of the property for any purpose other than what was approved unless additional <br />parking is provided. <br />** Reduction factor only applies to qualifying low-income units. <br /> <br />Table 34-4: Multifamily Parking Reduction (Transportation Characteristics) <br />Transportation Alternatives: Reduction Factor <br />Access to frequent transit service within one- <br />quarter mile of site* (3 trips per hour**) <br />0.75 <br />Access to high-frequency transit service within one- <br />half mile of site* (6 trips per hour**) <br />0.55 to 0.75*** <br /> <br />* “Access to frequent transit service” means the building entrance is within the prescribed walking distance of a <br />transit stop, except senior housing which must be within five hundred feet walking distance of a transit stop, with <br />the level of frequency noted. <br /> <br />** Frequency of service per hour is calculated between six a.m. and seven p.m. during the work week (Monday <br />through Friday) and is based on scheduled service, not actual performance. Trip counts are one direction. <br /> <br />*** Reduction depends on the frequency of service and the quality of walking routes to that service <br />… <br />
