The Mayfair DDCD and CONB Zoning ordinance require a minimum of 2 parking ratio per household, and the DDCD outlines the front and rear setbacks required.

The section view provides ground measurements of existing and modified sections, and shows that there is a 60% depth increase in cluster open space - resulting in an even greater volume increase.

The circulation path connected through the clusters allows for emergency vehicles (firetruck, ambulance, etc) to obtain direct access to the Shared Autocourt.

Residential Area Code Amendments

CONB Zoning Ordinance 2012

• 2 parking lots for each dwelling unit required under Section 3.4-3 “R-2A” single-family and two-family district

• Propose a proviso that allows for dedicated space for on-demand mobility pickup and dropoff to replace parking minimums.

Mayfair DDCD 2021

• Minimum parking ratio of 2 required for Single Family Detached Clusters under Part G Section 12.

• Propose to remove this requirement. For this typology, we will provide 1.5 AV PU/DO spaces per home.

• Front setback of 12 feet and rear setback of 10 feet required under Part E Section 9.

• Propose an amendment to 8 feet.

Area Code Amendments Mayfair DDCD 2021 Reduced Parking Minimum • One parking space required per 200sf required for Shopping Centers under Part G Section 12. • Propose to change this require to one PU / DO per 600sf Increased Accessibility Requirement Add new language to Section 12.3.1 requiring that 25% of retail PU / DOs be designed for full accessibility, with level rear/side loading and a covered path to the store entrance Autonomous Delivery Infrastructure Add new language to Section 5 setting design standards for automated delivery infrastructure, requiring that autonomous delivery staging be integrated with accessible PU / DOs

This diagram shows how land can be re-programmed once parking minimums are reduced. In this example, half of the existing Walmart parking could be used for new development and a fourth can become public greenspace

1. Reduced Parking Minimum 25% Parking 50% Developable Area 25% Greenspace

Today, 13% of the U.S. population lives with a mobility diasability. As the population ages, we can expect this number to increase. 25% Allows us to accomdate this growth and serve people with mobiltiy challenges not covered in this statistic

In this Walmart example, that means 100 fully accessible spaces, each 9x23 for rear / side loading

1. Reduced Parking Minimum Existing Requirement: 1 space per 200sf New Requirement: 1 PU/DO per 600sf New Requirement: 25% Must be fully accessible

2. Increased Accessibility Requirement

Total Area for Accessible PU /DOs

Our new code requires that 25% of retail PU DOs be accessible for those with mobility issues. The area in blue shows how much land this requires, and how it can potentially integrate into the design of a store.

Our new code also requires that staging areas for autonomous delivery be integrated with AV PU DOs so that robots can be used to move goods directly to vehicles.
