The new MBP area will afford developers more freedom in how they use their land by allowing them to provide parking based on projected market demand, rather than according to a set parking requirement. Proponents of the ordinance claim that parking minimums create too much parking and lead to inefficient use of city space, particularly in Houston which invests a lot in their public transit. Moreover, they argue that allowing market-based parking will make the city more friendly to pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit by reducing the number of cars on the road.
