Nine Percent Parking

Opening context: Local Transport Areas, Community of 7000, Identifiable Neighborhood

Conflict

Very simply — when the area devoted to parking is too great, it destroys the land.

Resolution

Do not allow more than 9% of the land in any given area to be used for parking. In order to prevent the bunching of parking in huge neglected areas, it is necessary for a town or a community to subdivide its land into parking zones no larger than 10 acres each and to apply the same rule in each zone.
