3. Sample of Bay Area Minimum Parking
Requirements
Below is a table, for comparative purposes, of many Bay Area cities minimum
parking requirements for multi-family housing (usually including
duplexes).
For comparison purposes, the required off-street parking spaces, including
guest parking, was calculated for a hypothetical 100 unit development consisting
of: 10 studios, 40 one bedroom units, 40 two bedroom units, and 10 three bedroom
units. The municipalities are listed from the highest required spaces to
the lowest.

| Notes: |
|
|
San Jose and Sunnyvales parking requirements are for open
lot assignment. They increase if parking is provided via one or two
car garages. |
|
Vacaville, Benecia, Campbell and Cotati did not specify MPRs
for studios. The MPR for one bedrooms is shown here |
