Accessible parking at residential facilities is based on the ratio of parking spaces to dwelling units. 

Parking at Residential Facilities

Parking at multi-family residential facility.  Notes:  Resident Parking (§208.2.3.1)  Where at least one parking space is provided for each dwelling unit, at least one accessible space is required for each mobility accessible unit.  Spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to the dwelling unit entrance they serve (§208.3.2). Those assigned to specific units are not required to be identified by signs (§216.5, Ex. 2).  If the total number of resident spaces is less than the total number of units, accessible parking is based on the scoping table in 208.2 (but providing one accessible space for each mobility accessible unit is advisable).  Additional Resident Parking (§208.2.3.2)  At least 2%, but no fewer than one, of resident parking spaces provided in excess of the one per unit total must comply. These spaces must be dispersed among all types of resident parking except where substantially equal or greater accessibility is provided in terms of distance from an accessible entrance, parking fee, and user convenience (§208.3.2, Ex).  Visitor and Other Parking (§208.2.3.3)  Parking spaces for guests, employees, or other non-residents are subject to the scoping table in 208.2.
