Parking is one of the most frequent topics brought up by the public, with questions of what parking is required and where it can be located.
Below are some of the current regulations for residential parking:
For a residential dwelling unit, 1 off-street parking space is required per unit PLUS 1 additional parking space for each bedroom over 3 bedrooms. Wow, that’s a lot of numbers. What does that mean?
A two-bedroom dwelling requires 1 parking space. A four-bedroom dwelling requires 2 parking spaces.
The Hopstotch family have five bunny children, and these luckily little cottontails each get their own room, so the six-bedroom house requires 4 off-street parking spaces.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have different parking requirements. Studio and one-bedroom ADUs require no additional off-street parking. One additional off-street parking space is required for a two-bedroom ADU, plus 1 addition parking space per bedroom after two bedrooms. This off-street ADU parking is in addition to the minimum required for the primary residential dwelling unit on the lot.
