The cost of constructing parking can <br /> •4 <br /> Sustainability Focus be a constraint to new housing development. Redwood City is a <br /> leader in providing innovative parking standards; our <br /> Downtown Parking Zone includes reduced parking standards, as <br /> well as a required maximum number of spaces per unit. The <br /> Zoning Ordinance also allows for shared parking, with all shared <br /> parking spaces counting as two parking spaces toward the <br /> fulfillment of the minimum requirement. In addition, multi- <br /> family residential developments within the city's major Mixed <br /> Use corridors also have reduced parking standards. <br /> Objectives: <br /> • Analyze and consider parking needs and costs of <br /> constructing parking for affordable housing projects, <br /> especially housing for extremely low income and housing <br /> for persons with disabilities, and permit parking reductions. <br /> • Analyze existing parking standards for single - family, duplex, <br /> triplex, and second units, including requirements precluding <br /> parking from any front or side yard setback area. Based on <br /> this analysis, consider modifications to the Zoning <br /> Ordinance to better encourage infill development. <br /> Timeframe: Analyze parking standards and complete zoning <br /> text amendments in 2016 (Short Range) <br /> Responsible Party; Community Development <br /> Funding Sources: General Fund <br /> Program H -11: Small Lot Duplex, Triplex, and Multi - Family Development. <br /> Duplexes, triplexes, and smaller multi - family developments can <br /> provide affordable housing options to renters and owners, <br /> increasing the supply of housing and assisting Redwood City in <br /> meeting its regional share of housing growth. The City currently <br /> allows duplexes and triplexes in the R -2, R -G, R -3, R -4, and R -5 <br /> zoning districts, with a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. <br /> Objective: <br /> • Explore revised development standards for duplexes, <br /> triplexes, and other small multi - family developments. <br /> Complete a study that assesses parcels affected, potential <br /> housing units produced, and potential impacts. <br /> Redwood City Genera' '` a <br />
