As an example, a lot is 100 feet by 100 feet, which equates to a total square footage of 10,000 square feet. The resultant of 10,000 divided by 325 is approximately 30 — meaning the final design of the parking lot should accommodate about 30 vehicles.

Basic best practices are to:
  1. Eliminate dead-end parking areas, so there's always a flow-through of traffic along aisles (the driving lanes facilitating access to parking spots)
  2. Locate aisles and rows of parking parallel to the long dimension of the site.
  3. Orient parking on each side of an aisle.

There is no hard and fast rule for what makes a “good” parking ratio, but a general rule of thumb is that an investment grade commercial property should have a parking ratio of between 5 and 10 spaces per 1,000 square feet of leasable area.

MORE DETAILS

The parking ratio is usually stated in the number of spaces per the square feet, for instance, if you have a 4 per 1,000 parking ratio, that means there are 4 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of space.
