1. Introduction

When designing a parking place, there are two important factors toconsider. The first is that the parking demand must be ascertained and thesecond is that the layout arrangement for the number of parking spaces tobe provided.

Actual number of parking spaces provided in a development should bethe parking demand that the use of the development will likely generate.However, the number should not be lesser than the requirement under theParking Places (Provision of Parking Places and Parking Spaces) Rules.

Heavy vehicle parking is not permitted in residential developments underthe Parking Places (Parking of Heavy Vehicles) Rules.

Consultants should design a parking place and its parking spaces to meetthe need of the development. Where necessary, provision in excess of theminimum dimensions for driveways and parking stall size may be made.

The arrangement of a parking place should harmonise with itssurroundings, convenient to users and allows smooth and safe circulationof vehicles.

Mechanised parking systems create more storage space for parking ofcars. Car lifts replace the conventional ramp system for access to theparking place. They can be incorporated in a parking place so long asthey can satisfy the guidelines and environmental need of thedevelopment. Mechanism of the parking system does not come underjurisdiction of the Authority.

Chapter 2

Policy for Parking Provision

______________________________________________________

Quick preview

Developments have to provide parking spaces to meet their own parkingdemand. The current parking policy enforces minimum parking provisions ondevelopments. Deficiency charge is imposed on developers who failed to meetthe parking requirement. This chapter outlines the policy and computation on thenumber of parking spaces a development is required to provide.

2.1 Number of parking spaces to provide

The Parking Places (Provision of Parking Places and Parking Spaces)Rules requires developments to provide parking spaces in theirdevelopments to serve their own demand. The parking provisionstandards for the various development uses are given in Appendix A.Where a parking standard is not available for a proposed use, the QP mayconsult the Authority on the parking requirement.

Parking requirements are usually based on the gross floor area quantumor the number of units of the development uses. Developers may providemore parking spaces than the stipulated parking standard to meet thedemand of the development.

Parking provision serving a development must be made concurrent orprior to the completion of the development within the site.

Temporary parking provision cannot be considered as provision to meetthe minimum parking requirement of a permanent development.

Deletion and conversion of existing parking spaces is not permitted if itresults in parking deficiency in the development. That is, after deletionand conversion, the remaining number of parking spaces must besufficient to meet the minimum requirement of the existing, proposed andapproved development.

Where existing parking spaces serving building/s are temporarilydisplaced for construction work, interim-parking provision in the vicinityof the building/s should be provided.

Use of mechanised parking system to create more storage space for carsand car lifts to replace the conventional ramps are allowed. For newparking proposals parking lots provided with approved mechanised

Handbook on Vehicle Parking Provision in Development Proposals -2005 Edition

parking systems, would be considered as provision for meeting therequirement under the Parking Places (Provision of Parking Places andParking Spaces) Rules. In existing car parks, if additional parking spacesprovision is made with mechanised parking system, any deficiencycharges previously paid would not be refundable. Guidelines forprovision of mechanised parking system and car lifts are given inChapter5.

2.2 Range-based Car Parking Standards

The rules stipulate a range-based car parking standard for non-residentialdevelopments island-wide and residential developments in Zones 1 and 2with an allowance for a lower level of provision of up to 20% below thestipulated standard. This allowance in car parking provision is notapplicable to public housing.

Residential developments that provide car parking spaces lesser than thenumber of dwelling units will have to inform buyers of the parkingsituation in their Sales & Purchase Agreement.

2.3 Zonal Car Parking Standards

Zonal car parking requirements are stipulated for commercial and majorentertainment uses. For this purpose, Singapore island is divided intothree (3) zones. Zone 1 comprises of the city (Restricted Zone) and theMarina Bay. Zone 2 refers to the areas in close proximity of rapid transitsystem (RTS) stations outside Zone 1. The rest of the island forms Zone3. The maps showing the Zone l and 2 are given in Appendix B and Crespectively.

2.4 Deficiency charge for non-parking provision

If a QP is unable to provide the required number of parking spaces in adevelopment, he should consult LTA for waiver on the provision prior tosubmission of the proposed development to the Competent Authority forapproval. Where site constraints make it physically impossible to makefull provision, LTA may waive provision for the number of deficientparking spaces. Unless exempted under the rules (see Appendix D for thetypes of developments exempted), deficiency charge is required in lieu ofthe deficient number of parking spaces waived by LTA.

Where temporary written permission is granted by the CompetentAuthority, the deficiency charge payable for non-provision of therequired parking spaces is 20% of the full charge for each year or partthereof of the written permission.

The rates of deficiency charge for non-provision of the minimumrequired number of parking spaces are given in Table 1.

Computation for the Number of Parking Spaces Required

______________________________________________________

Quick preview

This chapter explains the method of computation adopted to calculate the numberof parking spaces required under the parking provision standards.

3.1 Computation of Parking Requirement

The parking provision standards in Appendix A should be used tocalculate the number of parking spaces to provide. The number ofparking spaces required for a proposal is to be rounded to the nearestinteger. It is important to note that the rounding off is done for each usebefore adding up to obtain the total requirement for the development.Common area shared by two or more uses, the computation is based onthe main use of the development. Refer to sample computation of parkingrequirement in Table 2.

3.4 Development in a gazetted conservation area need not comply with theparking provision if the development is to be fully restored according toURA conservation requirements. Clearance for parking provision fromLTA is not required for a fully conservation building.

However, the following types of conservation developments would berequired to make provision for parking:

i) New development within URA's envelope control site andii) Extension of conserved buildings.

The number of parking spaces to provide shall be in accordance with theparking standards in Appendix A. Non-residential developments andresidential developments in Zones 1 and 2 are allowed to provide up to20% below the car parking requirement. This allowance is not applicableto lorry, loading/ unloading and coach parking requirements.

New developments are required to comply with the parking provision forthe whole development within the site. For conserved buildings with rearextension that comply with URA conservation requirements, theconserved portion of the building is exempted from parking provision.However, the extension is subject to normal parking requirements. Asample computation of the car parking requirement for a conservedbuilding with rear extension is illustrated in Table 4.

Preferred gradient 1:10 (10%).(Diagram C-11 & C-19)

Clearway ramps are inclined floors that provide access betweentwo levels. Clearway ramps are ramps that do not have parkingstalls adjacent to them.

Accessway refers to driveway that provides access to the parkingplace. These do not have parking stalls adjacent to them.

Single-lane is a lane where only one vehicle can pass through atany given time.

Multi-lane is where more than one vehicle can pass through at anygiven time and there is no physical separation/divider between thelanes. Divider may be in the form of kerbs, railings, parapet andwalls.

Inside lane of curve is to the innermost lane, nearest to the centrepoint of curve.

Chapter 5

Mechanised Parking Systems & Car Lifts

______________________________________________________

Quick preview

This chapter explains the guidelines for provision mechanised parking system and carlifts in car parking places. The guidelines are general in nature. Each parking proposalwould be evaluated on its merit.

5.1 Mechanised Parking Systems

5.1.1 General

Where a site is restricted such that a conventional type of parkingspaces is not technically feasible because of inadequate space for rampsystem or a proper designed parking layout, mechanised parkingsystem could be considered. Mechanised parking systems can bebroadly categorised under two groups:

a. Lateral Displacement Systems andb. Vertical Systems.

In the lateral displacement system, cars are parked on moveableplatforms that move automatically along guide rails laid flat on thefloor to make passageway for unimpeded access and driving away.

In the vertical system, cars are parked on vertical ferries wheel orlifted vertically and positioned into lots. Such system allows cars to beparked and retrieved automatically.

For new parking proposals, parking lots provided with approvedmechanised parking systems would be considered as provision formeeting the requirement under the Parking Places (Provision ofParking Places and Parking Spaces) Rules.

In existing car parks, if additional parking spaces were provided withmechanised parking system, any deficiency charges previously paidwould not be refundable.

Some examples of mechanised parking systems are given inFIG.13 to 16.

5.1.2 Guidelines for mechanised parking places

Guidelines are general in nature. Notwithstanding the guidelines,each parking proposal should be evaluated on its merit.

These guidelines deal with the car parking provision and layoutaspect and the applicant is required to get the clearance or approvalon other operational aspects of the system, such as fire system,security etc. from the relevant authorities. The mechanism of thesystem does not come under the jurisdiction of the Authority.

Special conditions for lateral displacement system

Geometric

a. Minimum head distance: 5.0m (Diagram MS-1)

b. Minimum manoeuvring space (sideways): 3.0m (Diagram MS-2)

c. Minimum manoeuvring space (lengthways)for parallel parking: 7.2m(Diagram MS- 3)

d. Minimum clear driveway width (after installation)- One way traffic: 3.6m- Two way traffic: 6.0m

e. Parking spaces not on platform should comply with theParking Places (Provision of Parking Places and ParkingSpaces) Rules.

Platform

a. Platform should be able to accommodate the cars using theparking place.

b. Parking platforms may be installed in individual or doubleplatforms. When arranged in parallel to driveways, theplatform should have slope on all four sided so that thevehicles can drive over them in all directions. (DiagramMS- 3)

Guiderail

a. Guiderail should not protrude beyond 20mm from finishedfloor level.

Page 38: Handbook on Vehicle Parking Provision in Devt Proposals

Queuing space

a. At the ingress, minimum queuing length should be 5% ofthe total number of parking spaces proposed. (DiagramMS-4, 5 & 6)

b. Clearway access ramp up to the parking lot may be treatedas a queuing space. (Diagram MS 4)

c. Entire queuing space shall preferably be within thepremises of the development and not spill onto publicstreet. If the queuing spaces are permitted to spill-over onto a public service road, it should not extend beyond theboundary of the adjacent lot (Diagram MS- 5). The queueshould not impact the traffic flow along the service road.

Special conditions for Vertical Systems

Geometric

a. Minimum internal dimension of cage or platform: 2.6m x 6.2m

b. Minimum load: 2600 kg

c. At the ingress, a holding bay of at least one car space infront of each car-lift should be provided. Such holding baysmust be within the premises of the development. (DiagramMS- 6)

d. At the egress (where it is separate from ingress), aminimum of one car length holding space should beprovided, which must be within the premises of thedevelopment. (Diagram MS- 7)

Queuing space

a. At the ingress, minimum queuing length should be 5% ofthe total number of parking spaces proposed.(Diagram MS-5 & 6)

b. Entire queuing space should preferably be within thepremises of the development and not spill onto publicstreet. If the queuing spaces are permitted to spill-over on toa public service road, it should not extend beyond theboundary of the adjacent lot (Diagram MS-5 & 6). Thequeue should not impact the traffic flow along the serviceroad.
