| Denver is pursuing new parking requirements in an effort to:
• Promote the development of more housing;
• Provide flexibility for development to include the number of parking spaces necessary based on market conditions; and
• Streamline zoning regulations for efficiency and clarity.
The proposed rule changes would remove minimum parking requirements from development regulations, which now require a minimum number of parking spaces based on the proposed use and zone district of each project. Currently, minimum parking ratios don’t apply to single-unit homes, accessory dwelling units, or certain neighborhoods downtown. Some affordable housing developments already have reduced parking requirements.
A public review draft of the zoning code text amendment with the proposed changes was posted on April 4 and is available for public review and comment through 12 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6.
