Overview

Mississauga's terms of reference for parking utilization studies on site-specific applications, revised September 2021. It explains when a study or a shorter letter of justification supports a parking reduction from the Zoning By-law, generally above 10 per cent, at rezoning or Committee of Adjustment. It sets out a study's seven parts, survey timing and types from proxy sites to shared parking and parking sales data, the 95th-percentile analysis, TDM measures, payment-in-lieu of parking, and an appendix of monthly parking variations by use.
