How much parking is required in Surprise?
Off-street parking in Surprise is set by use in LDO Chapter 107 (Table 107-4c, Sec. 107-4.9) rather than a single citywide flat ratio. Representative figures confirmed live this session: single-family homes require 2 spaces per dwelling unit (plus 0.2 spaces per unit for narrow lots of 40 feet or less, for visitor/overflow parking); most retail uses require 1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area; offices require 1 space per 250 square feet; restaurants require 1 space per 100 square feet; many industrial and warehouse uses require 1 space per 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, and some large-format or public uses (fairgrounds, post offices, warehouses) have their ratio determined by a parking study submitted with the site plan instead of a fixed number. Confirm the exact ratio for your specific use with Community Development, Planning and Zoning (623-222-3000). This pack covers incorporated Surprise only.
