trymahjong Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 "Market Based Parking" hmmmmmmm Simply put.... Montrose unlike Midtown has requirements for commercial builds=> if you build a 38 room boutique hotel-- there must be parking included. BTW if you to observe significant shrieking ( up close and personal) from Montrose residents.......attend any civic club meeting where a developer brings beautifully detailed, green leaning, original designs to do a new building but doesn't want to build any additional parking.........OMG! Residents aren't jaded towards developers exactly but after a kazillion explanations ( euphemism for excuses) about why parking requires are a detriment to Houston in general and Montrose in particular.........any parking variance is viewed suspiciously, old fashioned "telephone" trees are resurrected to get neighbors involved and car share rides are managed to make sure that what ever board gets to hear those shrieks....even if it takes 2 minutes of time each all day long..............I'm chuckling over this explanation but believe me I've been there done that. Criticize, and make fun all you want but Montrose residents are very particular about parking requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely NOT Montrose residents enjoy the current parking requirements AND readily fight to maintain them! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
