WA lawmakers want to limit parking requirements for new development
The amount of parking a city can require for new construction may soon be limited.
Senate Bill 5184 would prevent cities and counties from mandating more than one spot for every two housing units. Developers could still add more spots if they choose, but that would not be required.
The policy received a public hearing last week and is scheduled for a vote out of the Senate Housing Committee on Wednesday.
It’s another in a host of bills this year aimed at building more housing quickly in Washington.
