- Offices: 1 parking spot per 600–800 sq. ft.
- Plazas/Malls: Multi-level parking may be mandatory
Other Rules:
- Basement parking is often required for high-rise projects
- Access lanes, turning radius, and designated entry/exit must meet safety standards
- In dense areas, a parking fee or adjustment may be required in lieu of space
