Removing regulatory barriers to development,such as excessive parking <br /> requirements,was one of the strategies'the city committed to. <br /> Downtown On-Street Parking <br /> In 2008,the city commissioned a parking study'to examine the parking situation in the downtown, a <br /> portion of Metro Everett.The study analyzed demand for customer and employee spaces throughout <br /> the downtown.An update of the downtown parking study was prepared in 2015-2016.6 <br /> Streamlined Parking Uses <br /> The current parking table has 146 different types of land uses with parking standards;the draft reduces <br /> that number down to 38.See table below.This will make it easier to address conversion from one use to <br /> another, as well as ease of administration. <br /> Use Current Proposed Difference <br /> Residential 25 13 (-12) <br /> Nonresidential 121 25 (-96) <br /> TOTALS 146 38 (-108) <br /> 2"...to determine parking occupancy during the anticipated period of peak utilization associated with the <br /> predominant residential use,an"overnight"count of parking occupancy was conducted at both the Veloce <br /> Building garage,and the Redmond Transit Center Park-and-Ride lot,from 1:00 to 2:00 am on Tuesday,June 2, <br /> 2015."Guang Tian, p. 11 <br /> 3 Growing Transit Communities Compact,August 23,2013 See <br /> https://www.psrc.ore/sites/default/files/gtccompact 0.pdf <br /> a Go to https://www.psrc.org/asset/strategy-gtc-453 for additional resources regarding the"Growing Transit <br /> Communities Strategy" <br /> 5 https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/82 <br /> 6 https://everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/8030 <br /> 2 <br /> 5 <br />
