Conversation about: Seeking your input: Sacramento prepares to update parking code

Thanks for this, Jared. Just a couple of things to clarify with regard to next week’s council item. The new code would eliminate minimum parking requirements for development in the Central Business District due to the large number of off-street, underutilized parking in that area (17,000 vacant spaces during peak hours, for example.) Additionally, nonresidential development on lots of 6,400 square feet or less would also not have minimum parking requirements due to the difficulty of developing such small lots. This ordinance is intended to modernize the City’s parking regulations citywide, in an effort to promote economic development opportunities by encouraging reinvestment throughout the city, but particularly in older commercial corridors.
