Scottsdale Programs to Reduce Parking Requirements

Code allows programs and incentives to reduce parking requirements in certain locations and situations to meet goals and policies of the city related to mass transit and other alternative modes of transportation. A mixed-use shared parking program is an option to reduce the total required parking in large mixed-use commercial centers and mixed-use developments in which the uses operate at different times throughout the day. The city recognizes that strict application of the required parking ratios may result in excessive parking spaces. This results in excessive pavement and impermeable surfaces and discourages the use of alternate transportation modes.
