SALEM — An ordinance signed into law by Mayor Dominick Pangallo Monday eliminates Salem’s minimum parking mandates for new multifamily housing developments with three or more units.

The ordinance, intended to address the hundreds of unused parking spaces throughout the city, requires new multifamily housing projects receiving a Site Plan Review to identify how they will address residents’ transportation needs by submitting a “Transportation Demand Management plan.”
