Implementation
The process for updating the parking standards could include the following actions:
study minimum parking requirements based on local data (demand),
develop new parking standards based on the local parking demand study and in coordination with SacRT based on transit availability, and
integrate new parking standards into the Sacramento County Zoning Code.
The inclusion of mutually supportive parking management strategies is recommended for effective implementation and to mitigate potential parking spillover into surrounding areas. These include the following actions:
unbundle parking for new developments,
require residential area parking permits, and
implement on-street parking regulations.
Additionally, the County will update the Zoning Ordinance to require shared parking facilities for uses in new nonresidential development that have staggered parking demands at different times of the day and allow for transit use of off-street parking areas.
