It seeks to place parking in the context of transport demand management (TDM) and takes as its tenet that parking is primarily a land-use issue. It outlines the types of parking which exist and why the management of parking is all important when addressing the policy goals of impacting on traffic congestion, tackling the issue of air pollution, stimulating economic activity or aiming to improve road safety. Methodology/approach À This chapter discusses the role played by parking as a TDM measure and its various facets most notably pricing and regulation, the prioritisation of land for particular uses, such as Park and Ride, or indeed car free developments. Findings À The chapter reveals the complex nature of parking from both the supply and demand side. The demand is driven by the kind of activity involved be it for commuter, retail or other reasons. Clearly, the type of housing stock and residential density impact on parking demand at the start point of the journey, whereas at the destination, the type of employment and the duration of parking are significant factors. Car parking is not homogeneous, since it can be found in various locations and provided by different bodies, be that the public or private sector. Parking: Issues and Policies Transport and Sustainability, Volume 5, 1À9 Copyright r 2014 by Emerald Group Publishing Limited All rights of reproduction in any form reserved ISSN: 2044-9941/doi:10.1108/S2044-994120140000005015 1 2 STEPHEN ISON AND CORINNE MULLEY The cost of parking is an issue not simply in terms of the land take, cost of construction and maintenance but also searching for parking and the time involved. Practical implications À The management of parking is important as part of a package of measures commonly implemented by authorities and one which needs to be understood alongside land-use planning. It is an area involving conflict between parking supply, demand, revenue raising and economic development. Originality À The book offers a clear understanding and insight into the area of parking and its issues and policies. The book uses case studies where appropriate providing originality in the area of parking and effective management approaches. Keywords: Parking; demand; supply; management; policy; planning Car parking is an issue that everyone will have an opinion on whether it relates to the lack of available spaces, the price, parking fines or quality of provision. Parking is a sensitive area impacting on shoppers, retailers, commuters, employers, leisure users, local residents and local authority decision makers who have to manage this resource in an efficient and effec- tive manner. Parking and its provision, pricing and regulation are part of the toolbox which form part of a package of measures that can be used to impact on traffic congestion, address traffic related air pollution, or indeed raise revenue to fund selected infrastructure investment. In managing park- ing, a number of issues are raised including the boundary effects resulting from the implementation

  • Harlem Transportation Study
    3.0 LAND USE AND ZONING Zoning The city is divided into three basic zoning districts: residential (R), commercial (C), and manufacturing (M). The three basic categories are further subdivided into lower, medium, and higher density residential, commercial and manufacturing districts. Development within these districts is regulated by use, building size, and parking regulations. Here is a brief description of the three basic zoning districts according to the Zoning Handbook: Residential District (R) In New York City, there are ten standard residential districts, R1 through R10. The numbers refer to the permitted density (R1 having the lowest density and R10 the highest) and other controls such as required parking. A second letter or number signifies additional controls are required in certain districts. R1 and R2 districts allow only detached single-family residences and certain community facilities. The R3-2 through R10 districts accept all types of dwelling units and community facilities and are distinguished by differing bulk and density, height and setback, parking, and lot coverage or open space requirements. Commercial District (C) The commercial districts reflect the full range of commercial activity in the city from local retail and service establishmentsDRAFT to high density, shopping, entertainment and office uses. There are eight basic commercial districts where two (C1 and C2 districts) are designed to serve local needs, one district (C4) is for shopping centers outside the central business district, two (C5 and C6 districts) are for the central business districts which embrace the office, retail, and commercial functions that serve the city and region, and three (C3, C7, and C8 districts) are designed for special purposes (waterfront activity, large commercial amusement parks and heavy repair services).

  • The Retail Pulse Updates & Trends
    May 2013 The Retail Pulse Updates & Trends Real estate investment services May 2013 New York City’s Strong Investor Demand Defi es Property Sales Volatility Tourists from around the world are not the only ones interested in New York City’s retail offerings, real estate investors have been scouring the City to BUY retail properties boosting sales volume at the end of 2012. Yet despite the numerous anecdotal stories confi rming how New York’s economy is thriving, the retail property sales sta- tistics were disappointing in the fi rst quarter of 2013. Volume fell signifi cantly, but this was expected given the rush at the end of 2012 to close deals before the capital gains tax increased as it did at the 11th hour. As per Chairman and CEO, Peter Hauspurg, “To no one’s surprise, sales volume fell in the fi rst quarter but investor inter- est has been strong. Because prices are climbing every day, more sellers are bringing properties to the market. While we will not see the same fourth quarter 2012 volume in the next quarter or two, the statistics will start to refl ect the high demand we are seeing in the market.” This issue of Eastern Consolidated’s Retail Pulse report will review every statistic pertaining to the retail industry in New York City. The fi ndings are compelling and show why New York City has retained its title of “Retail Capital of the World:” — Retail property sales volume declined in early 2013, but this was expected given the surge at the end of 2012.
