How can I tell if my property is within half a mile from transit?

The City cannot require parking be provided for an accessory dwelling unit is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit.  “Public transit” means a location, including, but not limited to, a bus stop or train station, where the public may access buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public.

The city has this map that shows the areas we know are within half a mile of transit. If our map shows you are outside the half mile radius but you have updated information that shows you are within half a mile of transit, please submit supporting documentation to the City to review. This can be a map showing where the public transit is located and the walking path highlighted with distances located. Staff will evaluate the documents for accuracy.
