Support the Removal of Parking Minimums from the Zoning Code

Washington, IL
Support the Removal of Parking Minimums from the Zoning Code
Description:

Washington is over parked. Changes in consumer preferences have made expansive parking lots designed for annual holiday shopping excursions obsolete. In the future, these unsustainable and costly asphalt parking lots could become new development that helps property owners, generates tax revenue for the community, and mitigates stormwater runoff.

The zoning code requires a minimum parking count for each land use. Let’s remove that so we can decide how much is truly needed and whether the land would be more valuable as something else.
