RALEIGH — The North Carolina House unanimously passed a bill Wednesday, which would eliminate state parking minimums.
The Parking Modernization Act sponsored by Rep. Donnie Loftis, R-Gaston, allows developers, not local regulators, to decide how much parking is needed for a given project.
Groups, including the Catawba Riverkeeper, championed the bill as a way to help reduce pollution from stormwater runoff and reduce localized flooding.
The bill still needs approval from the Senate.
