Parking Variance Review Guidelines
The Division of
Parking Services is committed to providing accessible, equitable and
predictable mobility and parking options for all residents, guests and
visitors. The Division aims to manage congestion, increase mobility options and
manage parking, while preserving the uniqueness of our neighborhoods for all to
enjoy. These guidelines were created in an effort to standardize the parking
variance process and provide current parking availability data to Parking Services
staff to make data driven decisions about supporting or not supporting a
parking variance request.
These guidelines
set forth the procedure for reviewing proposed variances to parking
code-requirements within the zoning review process. Variances are often
required to provide context-sensitive solutions for proposed developments that
are unable to meet the code-required minimum number of parking spaces, or in
cases where providing required parking would contribute to overbuilding parking
in the area. These guidelines outline standard protocols and process for
determining staff recommendations for proposed parking variances.
