Parking in Rochester Hills, MI

Parking must be enclosed or covered. No parking in front or street-facing yards. Garage doors may not face a street.

One- and two-family dwellings require 2 spaces per dwelling unit, on the premises in a parking strip, driveway or garage. Front-yard parking is permitted only in a driveway or garage. Residential driveway surfaces may be asphalt, concrete, brick pavers, gravel, aggregate or similar materials (§ 138-11.102.D).

Multifamily minimum: 1.5 spaces per unit with at most two bedrooms or 2 per unit with at least three, plus 0.5 visitor spaces per unit. Garage, carport and driveway spaces cannot satisfy visitor minimums. Retail: 1 per 300 square feet of floor area; offices: 1 per 350; restaurants: 1 per 2 persons at maximum occupancy (Table 15).

Section 138-11.302.K permits residential tandem spaces at least 10 feet wide: paired surface spaces total at least 40 feet; a garage-plus-driveway pair totals at least 50 feet, measured from the house-side edge of the sidewalk (or end of pavement if no sidewalk) to the front interior garage wall. Tandem spaces cannot satisfy multifamily visitor parking. Chapter 3 generally excludes one- and two-family parking; confirm how its tandem-specific provision is applied to the house layout. The ordinary nonresidential 90-degree layout is 10 by 18 feet with a 24-foot two-way aisle.
