City Clerk Toni Taber,
Dear members of the City of San José’s Planning Commission and City Council, I am a resident of San José and I am reaching out to you today, in advance of the upcoming Planning Commission and City Council meetings in June, about the parking standards and transportation demand management ordinance.
I urge you to adopt the staff recommendation to prepare an ordinance that removes mandatory minimum parking limits, updates the City’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements to apply to all projects meeting a certain size threshold, and develops a program for ongoing monitoring and compliance for the citywide TDM program.

I want a San José that is:
- More affordable: by reducing the overbearing costs of producing parking—which is passed on to residents—and, in turn, having more land and resources to make housing more affordable to residents.
- More sustainable: by allowing the community to determine how much parking is appropriate, you can prevent the oversupply of parking and promote a better quality urban environment. This policy reform can reduce reliance on cars and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, while also incentivizing more sustainable modes and options of mobility.
- More equitable: minimum parking requirements mean that even car-free households end up paying for parking they don’t use and end up driving up housing costs. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) policies are a critical way to increase access to transportation and reduce the reliance on cars, allowing people to have more affordable transportation options.
San José has been a climate leader and I hope you continue to lead in this direction by taking bold action to disincentivize single-occupancy car trips, reduce GHG emissions, and increase affordable housing. The laws you have put in place requiring all-electric energy in new construction, and electric vehicle charging stations at residential buildings might not have the intended impact if the legislation is still incentivizing driving through the requirement of minimum parking. I am counting on you to vote in support of this policy! Sincerely,

City Clerk Toni Taber,
Dear members of the City of San José’s Planning Commission and City Council, I am a resident of San José and I am reaching out to you today, in advance of the upcoming Planning Commission and City Council meetings in June, about the parking standards and transportation demand management ordinance.
I urge you to adopt the staff recommendation to prepare an ordinance that removes mandatory minimum parking limits, updates the City’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements to apply to all projects meeting a certain size threshold, and develops a program for ongoing monitoring and compliance for the citywide TDM program.
6/1/22, 3:37 PM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5MTc0NwAQAE0mco5c7jNMlG2XdsVONQA%3D 2/3 The City of San José has adopted an ambitious plan to become carbon neutral by 2030 but with 50% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from private vehicles in the City, updating parking standards as well as new transportation demand management (TDM) requirements needs to be a clear part of this plan citywide.
I want a San José that is:
- More affordable: by reducing the overbearing costs of producing parking—which is passed on to residents—and, in turn, having more land and resources to make housing more affordable to residents.
- More sustainable: by allowing the community to determine how much parking is appropriate, you can prevent the oversupply of parking and promote a better quality urban environment. This policy reform can reduce reliance on cars and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, while also incentivizing more sustainable modes and options of mobility.
- More equitable: minimum parking requirements mean that even car-free households end up paying for parking they don’t use and end up driving up housing costs. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) policies are a critical way to increase access to transportation and reduce the reliance on cars, allowing people to have more affordable transportation options.
San José has been a climate leader and I hope you continue to lead in this direction by taking bold action to disincentivize single-occupancy car trips, reduce GHG emissions, and increase affordable housing. The laws you have put in place requiring all-electric energy in new construction, and electric vehicle charging stations at residential buildings might not have the intended impact if the legislation is still incentivizing driving through the requirement of minimum parking. I am counting on you to vote in support of this policy! Sincerely,
Michael Dean Michel

This policy reform can reduce reliance on cars and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, while also incentivizing more sustainable modes and options of mobility.
- More equitable: minimum parking requirements mean that even car-free households end up paying for parking they don’t use and end up driving up housing costs. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) policies are a critical way to increase access to transportation and reduce the reliance on cars, allowing people to have more affordable transportation options.
San José has been a climate leader and I hope you continue to lead in this direction by taking bold action to disincentivize single-occupancy car trips, reduce GHG emissions, and increase

Please PLEASE don't remove minimum parking spots for apartments L A Kurth <

Dear Councilors and Mayor,
On behalf of all who want to see renters and their neighbors thrive in San Jose, I BEG you not to remove minimum parking mandates.
Mostly I'm a friend of Catalyze SV, but I very much am not when they, (who I bet have ample parking where they live) want to make life for renters SO STRESSFUL! Please imagine what it's like to be 3 people sharing a 2-bedroom apartment all of whom have to work (not an unusual situation given rents in SJ) Under current conditions, one of them can rent a garage spot, one can usually park outdoors in the open parking, and one will have to park blocks way in front of a neighbor's house or illegally and just pray they don't get fined or broken into. That makes life so difficult for people who are already working hard!
In addition, the current apartment parking allotment assumes all renters have no friends or family, that no one ever spends the night or visits.
And it makes their neighbors in single family houses hate them and resent the fact that apartments are built nearby because sure enough, some desperate renter takes a space they usually have and makes life more stressful for them.
The only other options left to renters are to take Uber everywhere which represents a massive tax of $600/month (My daughter was paying $30/day to commute four miles) or ask renters to give up three or more hours of their lives each weekday moving from bus to light rail, or bus to bus in order to get to and from work.
Don't punish renters for our region's public transit failures. Don't ask them to do what you yourselves would find unbearable.
Sincerely,
Lita Kurth,

Approve San José's Parking and TDM Policy in June

City Clerk Toni Taber,
Dear members of the City of San José’s Planning Commission and City Council, I am a resident of San José and I am reaching out to you today, in advance of the upcoming Planning Commission and City Council meetings in June, about the parking standards and transportation demand management ordinance.
I urge you to adopt the staff recommendation to prepare an ordinance that removes mandatory minimum parking limits, updates the City’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements to apply to all projects meeting a certain size threshold, and develops a program for ongoing monitoring and compliance for the citywide TDM program.
The City of San José has adopted an ambitious plan to become carbon neutral by 2030 but with 50% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from private vehicles in the City, updating parking standards as well as new transportation demand management (TDM) requirements needs to be a clear part of this plan citywide.
I want a San José that is:
- More affordable: by reducing the overbearing costs of producing parking—which is passed on to residents—and, in turn, having more land and resources to make housing more affordable to residents.
- More sustainable: by allowing the community to determine how much parking is appropriate, you can prevent the oversupply of parking and promote a better quality urban environment. This policy reform can reduce reliance on cars and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, while also incentivizing more sustainable modes and options of mobility.
