The revised bill, which caps parking requirements at one spot per residential unit and eliminates exemptions, will go back to the Senate for a new vote.
The New Hampshire state House passed a parking reform bill that would bar cities from requiring more than one parking spot per housing unit, but the bill could face opposition in the state Senate, reports Ethan DeWitt for New Hampshire Bulletin.
Senate Bill 284 originally included exemptions for “developments containing 10 units or more, or for one-bedroom and studio apartments that qualify as workforce housing,” which could still be required to provide 1.5 parking spots per unit. The House version of the bill eliminates those exemptions.
According to DeWitt, “The bill was recommended by the Housing Committee 14-1, and passed the House 197-144.”
