San Diego council votes 8-1 to wipe out parking requirements in neighborhoods near transit
[SanDiegoUnionTribune] San Diego took a step toward becoming a less car-reliant city on Monday when the City Council voted 8-1 to eliminate parking requirements for new condominium and apartment complexes in neighborhoods near mass transit.Supporters say the new policy will make housing cheaper by eliminating antiquated rules about parking that fit poorly in a city where many residents are more inclined to use mass transit, bicycles or ride-booking services like Uber and Lyft. The plan also aims to help the city meet the goals of its legally binding climate action plan, which requires more people to commute by bicycling, walking and transit in order to reduce greenhouse gases.
