Fewer own cars, more car sharing and bicycles: That is the declared goal of Michael Eisenmann and the vast majority of the city council.

After the building and planning committee, the city council has now also approved the new mobility statutes by a majority.
This will allow builders to massively reduce the required number of parking spaces in the future.
Dachau – Michael Eisenmann (Alliance for Dachau) is convinced that the city’s new mobility statutes correspond exactly to “how we will live in the future”.
Or should live, because: “We have to support this so that it can become established in the general population”!
The vision of the mobility transition in Dachau
What Eisenmann and the vast majority of the city council want to “implant” in the population is the idea of not having your own car.
Instead, people from Dachau should use bicycles, cargo e-bikes, local public transport and car sharing and cargo bike models.
Building owners should be able to promote this in the future by building apartments and company buildings that no longer guarantee every resident and employee a parking space.
With the help of the new mobility regulations, the city wants to reduce the number of cars.
This paradigm shift in urban transport policy is made possible by the new mobility regulations, which are intended to replace the old parking regulations of the large district town.
Transport officer Volker C. Koch (SPD) sees the new statutes as nothing less than an “important contribution to the mobility transition”.
The administration had spent years preparing the new statutes, and city councilors discussed the topic in various committee meetings.
Most recently, at the beginning of February, the building and planning committee agreed on a draft, which was presented to the city council this Tuesday with only minimal modifications and will come into force in July.
New guidelines for parking space requirements and mobility concepts
Most important content: If a developer presents a mobility concept that includes, for example, a bicycle workshop in the basement or a car sharing offer, he can massively reduce the number of parking spaces required: by 35 percent.
In addition, there should be favorable location factors that lead to a reduction in the number of parking spaces that would otherwise be required.
The logic behind it: Anyone who lives near the train station can do without a car more easily than someone who lives far away from any public transport options.
Anyone who builds without a mobility concept or other favorable factors must build one car and two bicycle parking spaces for each residential unit of less than 120 square meters.
The latter must – among other things – be “at least two meters long and one meter wide”, “easily and safely accessible and easily accessible”.
Residential units that are 120 square meters or larger require two parking spaces for cars and three for bicycles.
The CSU, which approved the new statutes in the most recent building committee, has since changed its mind.
According to group spokesman Florian Schiller, a reduction of 35 percent is “too much”.
He cited the MD site as an example: “Instead of 1,000 parking spaces, we only have 650.” This reduction is “too far-reaching.
20 percent would also be a significant contribution.”

Criticism and forecasts for the implementation of the new statutes
But the majority of the committee did not want to discuss any more.
Environmental spokesman Thomas Kreß (Greens) even found it “strange that a package that we put together after a long discussion is suddenly being reopened.”
Mayor Florian Hartmann found the criticism “a shame”: he wanted “the greatest possible common denominator” on the issue.
Meanwhile, Peter Gampenrieder (ÜB) predicted a “major enforcement deficit” in the new statutes.
Who, he asked himself, should check whether the bike workshops, car or cargo bike sharing offers or other parking space reduction measures promised by developers are actually adhered to in the long term?
His prophecy: “At some point no one will care anymore.
And the houses have stood for several decades.” The entire discussion about individual percentage points is “academic and completely ignores reality.”
