I mean sure, but its literally stated in IBC 2018 that many new construction building types must provide parking

EDIT Philadelphia Code Section 14, not IBC

What part of the code are you talking about? I'm not aware of anything in section 14 close to what you're implying

Ah okay found what you were talking about. Its a CMX 2.5 zoned lot which has a minimum parking requirement of 0 which is pretty typical for multifamily buildings of this size

Yea its completely dependent on the zoning of the lot and the occupancy type. My whole point to that person above was simply saying that unless you decide to file for rezoning, there are many instances where its not a choice at all on whether or not to provide parking

Its a minimum parking requirement. The builder absolutely could include parking in this design if they wanted to. Ironically, what you're talking about is what builders face when they don't want to shoehorn in excess parking required by parking minimums.
