Abstract

This paper examines the shadow cost of minimum parking requirements (MPRs) for commercial real estate in Los Angeles County. This cost is defined as the difference between a parking space's market value and its combined construction and land costs. To estimate this shadow cost on a property-by-property basis, we use Mixed Geographically Weighted hedonic estimates to determine the value of on-site parking and location-specific parking cost estimates. Our methodology could also be applied to analyze the cost gradients of other zoning regulations, such as height limits and inclusionary housing.
