The goal of the controversial move is to make the city less car-reliant and more climate friendly.

San Diego took the bold and controversial step Tuesday of wiping out parking requirements for businesses in many neighborhoods to accelerate efforts to make the city less car-reliant and more climate-friendly.

Transportation accounts for more than 50% of local greenhouse gas emissions, making such policy changes crucial to San Diego’s efforts to meet the goals of its legally binding climate action plan, supporters said. “It’s simply not possible for the vast majority of people in my district to hop on a bus,” she said. “We have no trolley lines in District 5 and no plans to build them, and there are no major bike lane improvements coming.”

The policy eliminates parking requirements for businesses in those areas and for businesses in areas designated “neighborhood commercial,” which are smaller plazas and business districts that serve adjacent residents. Campbell successfully lobbied her colleagues to require more disabled spots at businesses that make the choice under the new policy to still have parking lots.
