Are there form-based codes that could regulate parking?

The current zoning by-law has no meaningful parameters for parking, such as where it is located.

The following design guidelines can be added to our zoning by-law using form-based codes:

  • No parking along the front of a parcel
  • No curb cuts on Harvard St (eats up parking and pedestrian safety)
  • No parking entrance visible within 50% of the front of a parcel

Implementing these guidelines in our zoning would make streets safer for pedestrians and support commercial activity.
