CAM 241, Calculating Required Parking for Commercial Projects
|
| Minimum parking requirements for uses allowed in commercial areas are established in order to ensure nearby customer and employee parking, reduce congestion on adjacent streets, and minimize spillover parking into adjacent residential areas (per Section 23.12.070, Policy B of Seattle's Land Use Code). These requirements are set to discourage underused parking facilities, which may mean tolerating occasional spillover parking.
In order to encourage pedestrian activity and a variety of services in commercial areas through the maintenance and development of small commercial uses, minimum accessory parking requirements may be waived subject to conditions in the Land Use Code. |
