Parking <br /> The era of abundant land with excessive amounts of blacktop parking lots is at an end. There is little raw land to develop in <br /> Everett, and most new growth will occur as redevelopment of underutilized properties such as parking lots. Rethinking how the <br /> city prioritizes land use, development and parking for the next 20 years will be crucial to obtain the best utilization of land and <br /> investment of infrastructure in the Metro Everett area. <br /> T-32: Parking requirements for new development or redevelopment should reflect geographic-based conditions. These <br /> conditions would include: <br /> • Expand the area where no parking is required for non-residential development to include all street corridors <br /> designated for pedestrians (see Figure 12 in Chapter Four, Land Use); <br /> • Reduce residential parking for areas designated as pedestrian streets (see Figure 12 in Chapter Four, Land Use); <br /> and <br /> • Lower parking requirements based on nearby transit service frequency. <br /> T-33: Create parking standards for residential development that reflect the following factors that influence parking <br /> demand: <br /> • size (number of bedrooms) of the housing unit <br /> • characteristics of the residents (low-income, seniors, assisted living and students) <br /> • characteristics of the development (mixed-use building, transit supportive design, adaptive reuse of older buildings <br /> and historic preservation) <br /> T-34: Allow adjustment to required parking through innovative measures, such as: <br /> • substitution of parking stalls for other transportation modes, including car share, bicycle parking and storage, and <br /> motorcycle parking <br /> • allowance to share parking within a project (mixed-use) or nearby <br /> T35: Restrict and/or prohibit new parking facilities as follows: <br /> • Do not allow new surface parking lots to front on transit-oriented and pedestrian streets; <br /> • Do not allow new parking lots to be the primary use of property, except for public (structured) parking garages; <br /> • Require street level business for parking structures on transit-oriented and pedestrian streets. <br /> Chapter 5,Transportation 12 August 29,2018 <br />
