SPUR supports Eliminating Parking Requirements Citywide

Advocacy Letter

SPUR’s Agenda for Change, which lays out SPUR’s core values, recommends the elimination of requirements that mandate a minimum number of parking spaces for new development. There is no good reason for the city to force the private market to produce parking spaces for every housing unit built. Eliminating minimum parking requirements will reduce the cost of producing new housing and enable us to use our land more efficiently by replacing space for cars with space for people.
