Flower Mound is considering a new parking ordinance that could lead to more efficient use of space. The town's Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of the proposal, which would encourage shared parking in developments.
Currently, shared parking is mainly found in mixed-use areas like the River Walk and Lakeside. The town is focusing on surface parking lots, rather than garages. The proposed ordinance would allow for a reduction in parking spaces, with a focus on coordinating building uses to minimize the need for parking.
Further details on the proposed ordinance are available from the town. The ordinance aims to benefit residents, the town, and local businesses, but specific outcomes and implementation plans have not been outlined in available information.
