208 Parking Spaces
208.1 General. Where parking spaces are provided, parking spaces shall be provided in accordance
with 208.
EXCEPTION: Parking spaces used exclusively for buses, trucks, other delivery vehicles, law
enforcement vehicles, or vehicular impound shall not be required to comply with 208 provided that
lots accessed by the public are provided with a passenger loading zone complying with 503.
208.2 Minimum Number. Parking spaces complying with 502 shall be provided in accordance with
Table 208.2 except as required by 208.2.1, 208.2.2, and 208.2.3. Where more than one parking facility
is provided on a site, the number of accessible spaces provided on the site shall be calculated according
to the number of spaces required for each parking facility.

Advisory 208.2 Minimum Number. The term “parking facility” is used Section 208.2
instead of the term “parking lot” so that it is clear that both parking lots and parking
structures are required to comply with this section. The number of parking spaces required
to be accessible is to be calculated separately for each parking facility; the required number
is not to be based on the total number of parking spaces provided in all of the parking
facilities provided on the site.
