How Much Parking Do We Need? Public Meeting on Modernizing Off-Street Parking

City services | November 22, 2021

The City of Mississauga is changing how much parking is needed on a property by updating its off-street parking regulations under the Zoning By-law. These changes will support local business, help deliver affordable housing, respond to climate change, and enhance travel, transit and walkability in our neighbourhoods.

Off-street parking regulations refer to the amount of vehicle and/or bicycle parking required on private and public properties because of new development, redevelopment, building expansion or a land use change. Changes would not affect existing buildings or homes.
