City Council will soon vote on whether to remove minimum parking mandates from the zoning code
These outdated requirements force local builders and business owners to build more parking than is often necessary or desired, driving up costs that are ultimately passed on to renters and consumers.
They also promote car dependence, exacerbate the climate crisis, and fuel inequality
Importantly, eliminating parking mandates would not stop new parking spaces from being built. Rather, it would give each project the flexibility to have the amount of parking it needs.
Parking impacts Denver By:
This proposal aims to:
While building more affordable housing
Parking mandates drive up housing costs and make it harder to build new homes.
Parking mandates add unnecessary red tape, consuming hundreds of hours of planning time, and delaying new housing projects.
Parking mandates stand in the way of creating complete, walkable neighborhoods and achieving Denver's mobility goals, leaving residents more reliant on cars.
