Bad decisions continue. By adding in minimum parking requirements, they just trashed the streetscape of most infill buildings and increased costs. The city and leadership are really on the downturn when it comes to planning. So sad. What the F happened?
Commissioners approve minimum parking requirements for new apartments
Portland apartment projects planned without parking that do not yet have a building permit may soon have to go back to the drawing board.
The Planning and Sustainability Commission on Tuesday voted to approve zoning code amendments that would require apartment projects with more than 40 units to include a minimum amount of parking. The vote followed more than three hours of public testimony from concerned residents; some contended that the amendments did not go far enough, and others said they went too far.
