NIMBYs frequently oppose ADUs on the grounds that #ADU residents will overwhelm on-street #parking. Are they right?

@cgthigpen and I surveyed Sacramento homeowners to investigate the supply and sufficiency of residential parking for single-family homes and what that means for ADUs:

Our first step was to estimate actual garage use. We found that the most common individual use was storage (75%), followed by car parking (63%), use as an extra room (12%), and living space.

Thanks to California’s new accessory dwelling unit (#ADU) laws, homeowners can help solve our housing shortage. It’s legal now.
But wait, there's more! In cities like #Pasadena, these same laws are making it easier and cheaper to build an addition.😃🧵

Under #Pasadena’s current code, “any addition to an existing residence…of over 150 square feet triggers a requirement to provide two covered spaces within a garage or carport.”
Left: addition legal!
Right: no asphalt, no addition...😢

Instead of managing the curb parking actually owned by the city, #Pasadena planners found it easier to force every homeowner spend tens of thousands of dollars pouring concrete & building garages.
Has this added to Pasadena’s historic charm?

Inspired by @ncoxbarrett live tweeting of Dallas ZOAC meetings on #parking, we will live tweet Denton's Development Code Review Committee today, where they will discuss primarily #ADUs and #ParkingRequirements. Starts in 10 minutes: dentontx.new.swagit.com/events/8782
And we're off. Before we get to #ADU and #parking, we're talking about the word soup of legally non-conforming homes that are deemed legal, but modifications cannot increase the nonconformity.
Staff: if there is a proposal for an ADU, they would not be able to use existing parking to satisfy the ADU parking requirement, and they would have to do so without removing any existing parking for the home.
