The subject development is electing to meet the minimum requirements of the City’s Parking Bylaw by providing of a TDM plan. With a TDM plan, the site is eligible for up to 60% reductions to their vehicle parking requirements.

    The Metro Vancouver Regional Parking Study (most recently updated in 2018) summarizes parking space usage across the region for different housing tenures:

    1. For both rental and strata buildings, the study found that  apartment parking supply exceeds use across the region
    2. Oversupply estimate of 42% in strata buildings and 35% in market rental buildings
    3. Apartment parking supply is lower for buildings closer to frequent transit network
    4. Market rental housing near transit has parking utilization ranging from 0.35-0.72 vehicles per dwelling unit compared to 0.99 for sites further from frequent transit
    5. Transit use is generally higher where apartment parking use is lower, especially for rental buildings
