“The aim of the revisions is to recognize that transit-oriented projects near major public transit facilities should not require as much off-street parking. The risk is that if the City underestimates parking needs, the nearby streets could end up with on-street parking shortages that are bad for both residents and businesses.”2016_09 - Land Use Update, page 3
