That is up to each community, but it affects the estimated potential units that will count towards the quota. Typically, a community's zoning bylaws will require some minimum number of parking spaces for residential units. It could be X spaces per house or apartment, or it could be a formula based upon the number of bedrooms. It could even be zero minimum, leaving it up to the builder to decide how many to provide. EOHLC has a Compliance Check Tool which does consider what the local bylaw sets for minimum number of spaces. It is not a very good tool, but it is how the State will score each rezoning plan, and 'award' units for meeting the quota. If Lincoln creates a plan allowing up to 3 story buildings on each parcel and no required parking spaces, the Compliance Check Tool will spit out a certain number of housing units to meet the quota. If this district is instead zoned to require 1 space for each housing unit, this number will be reduced by almost half. If this district is instead zoned to require 2 spaces for each housing unit, this number will be reduced to about a third. This is just a hypothetical number that may not be realistic, but this is how the State determines compliance. Don Seltzer
