Whereas existing and new neighborhoods are experiencing a transition to higher densities through additional dwelling units, increasing rates of car ownership, and changing demographics to multigenerational living. And whereas new neighborhood designs in particular townhouse developments, are being proposed with narrower frontages and shallow lots reducing the possibility of accommodating more than one parking space forcing residents to park on the street, take over visitor parking, and convert fronts yards to parking. And whereas these new dense neighborhood designs increase the safety risk for children, pedestrians, and create operational constraints for municipal operations like emergency response and snow removal. Now therefore be it resolved that Staff report back on the following: additional measures to design standards and zoning that could improve on-street parking and visitor parking plans for new neighbourhoods; review of parking opportunities within existing neighbourhoods and implement methods to improve parking conflicts through additional signage and enforcement; and That Council will not support reduced townhouse frontages less than 6 metres until such time Staff report back to Council with additional design standards and zoning provisions that will improve parking plans for new and existing neighbourhoods.
