[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other nice areas that I have lived in they have had rules that your car can’t be parked on the street overnight. Couldn’t they do that here since so many are so afraid of the parking issues of increased housing density. [/quote]

That’s common where I grew up. You had to notify police if you’d have cars on the street. But that won’t work here where zoning only requires one off street space, even when you build a 5BR mcmansion. [/quote]

Why do you not want cars on the street? I’ve seen this in developments with HOAs usually bc they make streets to narrow for street parking. But here, we pay taxes and have public streets. Why is it okay to have street parking in S arlington or in areas around the orange corridor or near the hospital, but not in your neighborhood? That doesn’t make any sense to me. The county needs to revisit their parking requirements across the board because currently they are insufficient, but I’m not sure why we should ban people from parking on the street. What are you using the street for? If you want to ban street parking, move to a planned development in Loudoun county[/quote]

Relax, cars will not be banned from parking on the street, except for RPP zones. The county should require more off street parking for SFHs in tandem with limitations on impervious surface area on a lot.

People overstate parking limitations in their neighborhood. My neighbors complain and yet there are plenty of spots available. What they really don’t want is someone parking in front of their house. [/quote]

I live in a townhouse neighborhood in the target zone, and there really are no spaces after the infill of townhouses and apartments nearby. Forget parking in front of my house, maybe I can park 3 blocks away. [/quote]
