Technology has enabled new space-efficient parking designs, including fully automated parking systems and mechanical tandem stackers. To facilitate the provision of required parking while minimizing the amount of precious land that it requires, the City Council amended chapter 9.28 of the Zoning Ordinance to:

• Allow automated and tandem parking with the approval of an operations plan and on-site queuing space, to ensure there are no impacts to the public right-of-way.
• Require an attendant to facilitate the smooth operation of the facility, except in limited circumstances such as when tandem parking spaces are assigned to the same household.
• Require supplemental short-term parking spaces for busier sites.
• Protect the safety of users with generators and manual override systems.
