Salem may have an oversupply of parking. At first, that
statement may not sound right, but according to Mayor Dominic Pangalo,
it's accurate when we're talking about residential parking.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And so by requiring more space for cars instead of
housing units, we're hurting our ability to make housing more affordable.
By addressing our need to right size our housing supply.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
He has introduced an ordnance change to reduce residential parking
minimums for multifamily housing, which is currently one point five
spaces per unit.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What we're trying to do is right size our parking
supply in these housing developments so that we can lessen
traffic congestion, lessen stormwater, runoff urban heat, and also create
more space for housing, which we deeply need.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
This would only apply to new multifamily developments in Salem.
