§ 151.3210 PARKING DESIGN STANDARDS.

   (A)   Design Standards. Off-street parking areas for full size vehicles, which are motor vehicles 17 feet in length or longer, shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the following minimum dimensions set forth in Schedule 151.3210, based on the angle of the spaces. Figure 151.3210 illustrates the requirements for each angle scenario.

   (B)   Compact Care Design Standards. Up to 30% of the minimum required parking spaces may be designed for use by compact cars, which are motor vehicles smaller than 17 feet in length. Any reduction in the total parking area obtained as a result of using compact-sized spaces may be landscaped and will count towards the total required landscaping for the parking lot as specified in § 151.3408. Compact-sized parking spaces shall be located in one or more continuous areas and shall not be intermixed with spaces designed for full size cars. Compact-size spaces shall be labeled as "Compact Cars Only" and clearly marked with pavement marking. The minimum parking dimensions for full size and compact vehicles are set forth in Schedule 151.3210(A) and 151.3210(B) based on the angle of spaces.
