Part I: Urban Design Guidelines for All Subdivision and Development in the District
6 Roading and Pedestrian Access
6.3 Provision of On-Street Parking
The District Plan requires off-street parking to be provided for every dwelling. Some on-road parking for visitors and short-term parking should also be provided in a way that maintains the amenity of the street.
Developers should consider the following design elements:
- Parallel kerbside parking distributed throughout the subdivision is good for visitor and resident parking
- Parking should be concentrated alongside public areas to promote public use and to reduce the number of vehicles parked on residential roads
- Where parking bays are provided, they must not interfere with driveways or negate the function of any public space
- Ensure street-trees are located away from services and the carriageway
