PARKING
This illustration demonstrates the parking requirements for a T6 zone. The commercial activities
and mixed uses encouraged in this transect also require a wider array of parking and loading standards
and more regulation to ensure that all these uses co-exist in a manner that enhances quality of life
for residents, business owners, and visitors. Examples of these regulations are parking liners for
parking lots to encourage pedestrian activity and that loading docks be located within the third
layer of the property, concealed from public view.

Parking Regulations
As the transect zones increase, the allowable uses and building
types also increase to create a more diversified area. Uses determine the number of parking
spaces required in order to accommodate flows of traffic and people.
