PD19: Private Parking Reduction

(3 points)

Purpose

To minimize impervious coverage, create a more vibrant streetscape and create a more pedestrian friendly environment.

Criteria

Construct alleyways behind houses to service back-loading garages for at least 50% of single-family detached homes and townhomes. If garage alleys are inappropriate for a specific context, a shared driveway may contribute to this point.

Verification 

• Permitted site plan identifying proposed private parking alleys. 
• Construction documents clearly indicating private parking alleys. 
• Calculation of the percentage of single family detached homes and townhomes served by alleys, shared driveways or remote parking.
