What the Forney zoning ordinance says about parking, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
1.5 spaces per efficiency or one-bedroom unit; 2 spaces per two-bedroom unit; 2.5 per three-bedroom unit; 3 per four-or-more-bedroom unit. Development average must be at least 2 spaces per unit, with at least 1 enclosed (garage) space per unit.
Two spaces per unit on the same lot as the unit served, plus community-wide visitor and supplemental parking: 2 visitor spaces per 3 manufactured home spaces, and 1 supplemental (boat/camper) space per 4 manufactured home spaces.
Existing structures/uses predating the current Ordinance keep any existing parking (or lack of it) as conforming. New structures/uses: 1 space per 250 square feet of gross floor area, minimum 2 spaces; up to 75 percent of the requirement may be waived by City Council on the site plan.
Single-family dwellings must provide a minimum of 2 enclosed parking spaces behind the front building line plus 2 additional spaces on a paved driveway at least 25 feet long, in every district that allows single-family homes (AG, R1, SF-20 through SF-6, MH). Nonresidential and multifamily uses follow the use-based ratios in the Sec. 38.6 schedule (for example general commercial use: 1 space per 250 square feet; general office: 1 space per 300 square feet), computed per Sec. 38.3 through 38.10.
