Parking Ordinance

FCA was aware that the City was planning on enacting sweeping changes to Seattle’s parking policies and was concerned the new ordinances would not take into account Fauntleroy parking challenges given the number of cars already attracted to the area by the ferry and Lincoln Park. The proposed ordinance would allow developers of lots zoned commercial, residential split and multifamily to push parking onto the street as opposed to providing for parking on the property if the property was near rapid transit. We worked with the West Seattle Councilmember to treat Fauntleroy similar to the Alki Overlay which requires builders provide for offstreet parking in deference to the demand for street parking created by users of Alki Beach. The new ordinance requires off street parking is required for commercial, residential split lot and multifamily development within 1,320 feet of the Fauntleroy Dock (SMC 23.54.015 footnote 4 of Table B).

Update on Parking Bill

date posted: 30 Mar 2018

Councilmember Herbold has proposed an amendment to the legislation contained in Council Bill 119173 to exempt the area around the ferry terminal. The details are on page 55 of this City Council Staff Memo.. (The pages are numbered strangely. After letting the document load, search for “Amendment E3: Parking requirements near the Fauntleroy ferry terminal”)

It is important that we contact Lisa and the other PLUZ committee members to express our support. Contact information for each can be found here.
