PITTSBURGH — Zoning amendments approved by Pittsburgh City Council this week will, among other things, limit the number of parking spots required at restaurants, our news exchange partners at TribLive reported.
The measure will require that restaurants — including fast food locations — must provide a transportation impact study to the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment will then ensure there won’t be negative impacts on surrounding properties based on transportation-related impacts and other factors.
The measure also cuts the number of parking spots a restaurant or fast food restaurant is required to provide for its customers.
Fast food restaurants, which were previously required to have one off-street parking space for every 500 square feet of space, will now have to provide one parking spot per 175 square feet. Other restaurants can go from one parking spot per 125 square feet to one space per 500 square feet.
