Did you know that Portsmouth’s multifamily parking requirements underestimated actual parking demand by 40% at West End Yards? West End Yards has 250 apartments. The City required 287 spaces per regulation. A post-construction parking demand study shows that there are really 409 spaces needed. That’s a pretty big margin to be off by.
What is a resident supposed to do? Clearly a case of very inadequate requirements placed on the developer by the City. The residents end up suffering the consequences.
