Let's make the building facades, landscaping, pedestrian areas, etc the focal point along our roadways, instead of grayfields of way too large parking lots. Move parking behind buildings.
Also, we need maximum parking requirements, instead of minimum parking requirements. Let's face it, parking lots in the major shopping areas are only full during the holiday shopping season. Why impose regulations that address one month out of the year rather than regulations that accurately reflect the true parking needs of the developments?
