Code and Min. Parking Stall Dimensions

BulgarBlogger

Aside from ADAAG, does the code list any minimum dimensions for commercial parking lot stalls?

Thanks.

Zoning codes do.

Typically, it is a local issue.  Not specifically addressed in the IBC, but IBC references ANSI A117.1.  So, you also have to note the requirements for accessible spaces there.  

There is an International Zoning Code.  But I don't know how widely adopted that is.  Check your local zoning/planning ordinance.

Local zoning, which is extremely variable from place to place as to its requirements. I've had projects where minimum stall widths from 7'-6" to 9'-6". I can't wait until we are post-parking.

state ada code may specify handicapped parking sizes along with loading areas and required counts

Don't do minimum parking sizes. At least here in Texas they don't work for SUVs and trucks

Most counties have a parking design manual

That's why it's a local zoning issue. What works in New York might not work in Texas, etc.

just completed spa for a retail development where the city would not allow spaces larger than the min. allowable.  Had to change all our 10x20 spaces to 9x18

standard is 2.6m x 5.2m here which is smaller than your typical 9x18.

So your parking is smaller just like the spending power of your dollar?

totally local issue.

Chicago allows 8' wide stalls (x 18' long) when the drive aisle is at least 22' wide.
