Considerations for Parking**

• To the greatest extent possible, new parking would be developed to minimize impacts on natural and cultural resources
• To the greatest extent possible, new parking would be located in previously disturbed areas
• To the greatest extent possible, new parking would incorporate previous materials and designs
• New parking would be designed to be climate change resiliant
• New lighting would be night sky compliant
• A program for recovery of costs related to development and management of leasing related parking would be developed and implemented
• Existing historic walkways would be maintained
• All buildings would have adjacent universally accessible parking
• Residential, commercial and office spaces would require parking in proximity to the building
• Some or all event parking could be accomodated by valet or shuttle parking
• Regulatory parking signs would follow standards of "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" and the "Americans with Disabilities Act"
• New parking and circulation (pedestrian and vehicle) would be designed to accomodate future integration of mass transit (i.e., shuttle system within park, public transportation to park; recognizing transit system likly cannot come on-line until there is a critical mass of potential users)
• Additional considerations?

**This is not meant to be an exhaustive list - this list is intended to generate discussion among workgroup members of considerations related to parking to support preservation of historic buildings through the Fort Hancock leasing program.
