The Charlotte City Council approved a citywide zoning ordinance text amendment to modify the off-street parking standards. The amendment aims to promote alternative modes of transportation, reduce impervious surfaces, and encourage more compact, walkable development patterns. Key changes include reducing minimum parking requirements for various land uses, increasing bicycle parking requirements, and introducing parking maximums for certain districts. The amendment also updates definitions related to parking and allows for more flexibility in shared parking arrangements. This decision followed extensive public input and recommendations from the Planning Department.
