City of Fort Lauderdale Parking Study - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

For the City of Fort Lauderdale TimHaahs performed a comprehensive review of existing parking codes and ordinances, in particular for the downtown area. For the past several years, the City has allowed development in the downtown area without specific parking requirements. However, parking conditions have begun to decline, creating a need for reconsideration of parking requirements.

As part of the study, TimHaahs not only reviewed the codes and ordinances for Fort Lauderdale, but also chose five other representative cities to serve as benchmarks. TimHaahs determined that the City of Fort Lauderdale was significantly more lenient than those of similar cities. In addition, TimHaahs provided several suggestions for modifications to the ordinances which more appropriately balance the need for growth in downtown, while providing parking required for continued growth.
