Parking Requirements

Durham's walkable inner-ring neighborhoods (Trinity Park, Watts-Hillandale, Old West Durham, Northgate) are compact and bikeable. Duke University's campus generates significant non-auto mobility. Research Triangle commuters often use GoTriangle express buses. Durham's parking minimums have been reduced in recent UDO updates reflecting transit investment.
