Proposed Off-Street Parking Policy
Board to Consider More Flexibility for Off-Street Parking at Multi-Family Buildings in the Metro Corridors
Staff are proposing refinements for off-street parking policy for multi-family residential projects approved by special exception in the Rosslyn-Ballston and Jefferson Davis Metro Corridors. If the Board adopts the policy at its November 18 Meeting, the policy will guide County review of the amount of parking that a builder proposes for these projects. The recommended policy would allow developers more flexibility to build fewer parking spaces if they assess that resident demand can be met with fewer parking spots, and especially if the building includes amenities like ample bike parking and carsharing, which are likely to attract car-free households. Visit the project webpage to learn more.
