Milton has lowered the required number of parking spaces for condos and apartments from 1.5 to 1.0 per unit. Town officials believe this will help make housing more affordable and match industry trends.
🔹 Why the Change?
Developers say some buildings have extra parking spots that go unused.
Parking spaces can be expensive—costing up to $95,000 to build.
Buyers will now have the choice to purchase a parking spot if needed.
🔹 Concerns from Councillors Coun. Adil Khalqi opposed the change, saying:
Milton’s transit system is limited, and many families own multiple cars.
Reduced parking could lead to overflow issues in residential areas.
The change may not actually make housing more affordable.
His proposal to keep the old rules but allow case-by-case reductions did not pass. Only Coun. Kristina Tesser Derksen and Colin Best supported it.
🔹 What’s Next? Town staff say the new rules will help create a more transit-friendly Milton, though public transit expansion will take time.
