Total No Of Parking Condo

[havenjake]

I dont do many 1073 forms.. But when they ask for total number of parking in the subject's project, are they talking about total parking for guest, driveway and garages.. some units may have only one car garages and some have two .. association never knows exact amount..

to me subjects project means the whole project. Garage spaces, reserved, open for guests, etc..Its often a ballpark guess bu the HOA should be close. Ive found usually no more than a 2/1 ratio parking/units unless its in a high density area and then often less.

So when they say 2:1.. means two spots per one unit.. which is the garage and driveway which is counted as the two? Because a unit with single car would be 2:1 in that case, and unit with two car garage would be 4:1.. meaning two garages and two spots in driveway per one unit.

driveways for garages on a condo??? Havent seen that. To me a 1 car garage is 1 spot, 2 car garage two spots, 1 reserved spot or 1 car carport=1 spot. Have never counted driveways as a parking space......

Townhome that does not own land.. condo

Heck, where I come from, we have houses with no garage/carport but a big ol' driveway. It's a selling feature if you can get 5 or 6 cars on it!

. . . not in condo developments, though.

Typically refering to the number of "assigned spaces" to each unit.

Something I learned recently (yeah, I know, you thought I knew it all) is that the URAR asks how many parking spaces are available on the driveway. For years I thought the car storage block on the front of the URAR was asking for the type of driveway. Not! It is actually asking "how many parking spaces?". If you drive through a neighborhood look at how many cars are parked on the drive way.

Brings up an interesting point....."Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?"

Okay, under total parking... so this is how you calculate it... add total guest parking with total driveways.. however some units only have one car driveways and some have two.. association gave me 90 spots.. now that is just for the spots in front for guest parking.. there are 240 units.. some of these units have one car driveways and others two.. so its really hard to determine.. i could say 240 plus 90= 330 +- but that is infering only one spot for driveway.. I assume you do not include garage spots for the actuall garages..

Then under type would be drwy..

Also for open garages what is that refering to for the subject? assigned? because there is a seperate area for assigned

I look at it this way - they've never really definitively carved in stone what they want and most likely will tell you it's by "local custom" (what ever the hell that is for areas with only a couple of condo complexes). I figure that where they are asking for number of parking for the complex they mean carports, garages, open and whatever is considered as "on-site" parking. The number per unit depends upon your zone ordinances for your area. We typically have them vary from 1.5 to 2.5 per unit. If you can get "assigned" totally typed into that little space I will gladly shake your hand. :rofl: :rofl:

I could email the first page of one I did a while back if you want to see it - I'm not saying I'm 100% right or correct but it's always flown by the UW. It might also give you an idea of someone else's view of that thing.
