6 Approaches to implementation•Applicability of parking maximums•All projects citywide?•In certain areas/zones only? (e.g., within ½ mile of transit only)•For certain land use types only? (e.g., commercial uses only)•For projects exceeding a certain size threshold only? (e.g., projects greater than 25,000 gross sq. ft. and/or projects with more than 10 dwelling units)•Project characteristic(s) on which to base maximum rates•Land use category?•Project size? •Project location? Potential impact of parking maximums on different types of new developments•Project financing and/or costs?•Marketability (or lack thereof) of tenant spaces/dwelling units?•Decision to develop certain types of uses or not•Other? 11 12
7 To what extent might parking maximums influence your decision to develop new projects in Culver City?•Impact on overall project feasibility in Culver City?•Provisions for flexibility to exceed maximums?•Discretionary process?•Fees? Alternative Strategies for Reducing Parking Demand13
