The Mobility Division may approve a reduced aisle when the parking stall width is widened using a one to three ratio; for example, in some commercial developments, a 90-
degree parking space could be widened to 9’6” (8’6” +1’) with a reduced drive aisle of 22’ (25’- 3’).
2
These dimensions may be used only if all spaces in the aisle are compact and may be used equally in commercial and residential districts.
This sheet is only a summary of the City’s basic parking requirements. More information on parking design can be found in SMMC chapter 9.28, Off-
street Parking Requirements, or by directly calling the Mobility Division.
