The proposed S-DR Zone allows for and promotes the use of interim parking areas, paved areas currently used for parking or former utility operations, as a means to comply with minimum parking requirements and reduce the amount of new surface parking areas, which is itself a parking management strategy. The findings in Exhibit D TPR/TIA Report address intersection function and congestions and are incorporated by reference herein. Based on these findings, the proposed amendments and zone change are compliant with Policies F.7 through F.8. Transportation System Improvements: System-Wide F.11 Develop or promote intermodal linkages for connectivity and ease of transfer among all transportation modes.
