Testimony: ZTA 23-10 Parking, Queuing, and Loading – Calculation of Required Parking (Parking Minimums)
Montgomery for All supports the passage of Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 23-10 that eliminates parking requirements for new housing developments located within a half-mile of WMATA Metro stations, a half-mile from Purple Line stations, and a quarter-mile from existing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations or BRT stations that are funded for construction in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget. We support the elimination of parking minimums because it prioritizes housing for people over cars; sustainable, transit-oriented development over underutilized parking; and can significantly lower the cost of constructing housing.
