Description: After reviewing the demographic and land use context in which the Zoning Resolution establishes parking requirements, the study examines how these requirements relate to actual patterns of auto ownership. Using quantitative data from  the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, the Census and the New York City Department of Buildings, this study aims to understand patterns in auto ownership with regard to building type and location in the city in order to determine whether current parking regulations reflect demand for parking. In addition, it examines what other factors might come into play in  crafting more appropriate regulations meeting contemporary needs and goals.
