Chapter 11 I Placemaking and Managing Development
Car Parking Zones
City Docklands and Tivoli
11.239 Separate standards are prescribed for the Docklands and Tivoli and are set out in Chapter 10 Key Growth Areas and Neighbourhood Development Areas.
Zone 1
11.235 Parking Zone 1 generally comprises Cork City Centre and the inner city. This zone is currently accessible by public transport and is a walkable environment. It is policy to constrain parking within the City Centre below the maximum level of provision indicated in the table in order to reinforce pedestrian priority in the area and to promote a material shift to non-car transportation. Provision of additional commuter parking within this area will not generally be permitted. In exceptional cases a small amount of parking may be allowed on site (subject to mobility management plans and workplace travel plans) as an incentive to promote the renewal / redevelopment of large strategic sites. This will only be feasible where the location and configuration of sites is such as to allow parking without causing undue local congestion or negative impact on pedestrian movements.
Maximum Standards
11.240 Maximum parking requirements for all zones as set out in this plan will be reviewed periodically in tandem with the implementation of the measures and interventions identified in Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Study (CMATS).
Zone 2
11.236 Parking Zone 2 reflects areas that are or will be accessible to mass transit on the form of Light Rail Transit or BusConnects and encompasses most the city suburbs.
Zone 3
11.237 Parking Zone 3 covers the Urban Towns of Blarney, Tower and Glanmire and the outer suburb of Rochestown. Although these areas have been identified for public transport improvements, the interventions currently being considered are not at a scale envisaged to allow for a more substantial reduction.
Zone 4
11.238 Parking Zone 4 covers the City Hinterland and the Hinterland Villages of Kerry Pike, Killeens and Upper Glanmire.
