Introduction
When designing a parking place, there are two important factors to
consider. The first is that the parking demand must be ascertained and the
second is that the layout arrangement for the number of parking spaces to
be provided.
Actual number of parking spaces provided in a development should be
the parking demand that the use of the development will likely generate.
However, the number should not be lesser than the requirement under the
Parking Places (Provision of Parking Places and Parking Spaces) Rules.
Heavy vehicle parking is not permitted in residential developments under
the Parking Places (Parking of Heavy Vehicles) Rules.
Consultants should design a parking place and its parking spaces to meet
the need of the development. Where necessary, provision in excess of the
minimum dimensions for driveways and parking stall size may be made.
The arrangement of a parking place should harmonise with its
surroundings, convenient to users and allows smooth and safe circulation
of vehicles.
Mechanised parking systems create more storage space for parking of
cars. Car lifts replace the conventional ramp system for access to the
parking place. They can be incorporated in a parking place so long as
they can satisfy the guidelines and environmental need of the
development. Mechanism of the parking system does not come under
jurisdiction of the Authority.

Chapter 2
Policy for Parking Provision
______________________________________________________
Quick preview
Developments have to provide parking spaces to meet their own parking
demand. The current parking policy enforces minimum parking provisions on
developments. Deficiency charge is imposed on developers who failed to meet
the parking requirement. This chapter outlines the policy and computation on the
number of parking spaces a development is required to provide.
2.1
Number of parking spaces to provide

The Parking Places (Provision of Parking Places and Parking Spaces)
Rules requires developments to provide parking spaces in their
developments to serve their own demand. The parking provision
standards for the various development uses are given in Appendix A.
Where a parking standard is not available for a proposed use, the QP may
consult the Authority on the parking requirement.
Parking requirements are usually based on the gross floor area quantum
or the number of units of the development uses. Developers may provide
more parking spaces than the stipulated parking standard to meet the
demand of the development.
Parking provision serving a development must be made concurrent or
prior to the completion of the development within the site.
Temporary parking provision cannot be considered as provision to meet
the minimum parking requirement of a permanent development.
Deletion and conversion of existing parking spaces is not permitted if it
results in parking deficiency in the development. That is, after deletion
and conversion, the remaining number of parking spaces must be
sufficient to meet the minimum requirement of the existing, proposed and
approved development.
Where existing parking spaces serving building/s are temporarily
displaced for construction work, interim-parking provision in the vicinity
of the building/s should be provided.
Use of mechanised parking system to create more storage space for cars
and car lifts to replace the conventional ramps are allowed. For new
parking proposals parking lots provided with approved mechanised
_______________________________________________________________________________________
parking systems, would be considered as provision for meeting the

requirement under the Parking Places (Provision of Parking Places and
Parking Spaces) Rules. In existing car parks, if additional parking spaces
provision is made with mechanised parking system, any deficiency
charges previously paid would not be refundable. Guidelines for
provision of mechanised parking system and car lifts are given in
Chapter5.
2.2
Range-based Car Parking Standards

The rules stipulate a range-based car parking standard for non-residential
developments island-wide and residential developments in Zones 1 and 2
with an allowance for a lower level of provision of up to 20% below the
stipulated standard. This allowance in car parking provision is not
applicable to public housing.
Residential developments that provide car parking spaces lesser than the
number of dwelling units will have to inform buyers of the parking
situation in their Sales & Purchase Agreement.
2.3
Zonal Car Parking Standards

Zonal car parking requirements are stipulated for commercial and major
entertainment uses. For this purpose, Singapore island is divided into
three (3) zones. Zone 1 comprises of the city (Restricted Zone) and the
Marina Bay. Zone 2 refers to the areas in close proximity of rapid transit
system (RTS) stations outside Zone 1. The rest of the island forms Zone
3. The maps showing the Zone l and 2 are given in Appendix B and C
respectively.
2.4
Deficiency charge for non-parking provision

If a QP is unable to provide the required number of parking spaces in a
development, he should consult LTA for waiver on the provision prior to
submission of the proposed development to the Competent Authority for
approval. Where site constraints make it physically impossible to make
full provision, LTA may waive provision for the number of deficient
parking spaces. Unless exempted under the rules (see Appendix D for the
types of developments exempted), deficiency charge is required in lieu of
the deficient number of parking spaces waived by LTA.
Where temporary written permission is granted by the Competent
Authority, the deficiency charge payable for non-provision of the
required parking spaces is 20% of the full charge for each year or part
thereof of the written permission.
The rates of deficiency charge for non-provision of the minimum
required number of parking spaces are given in Table 1.

Computation for the Number of Parking Spaces Required
______________________________________________________
Quick preview
This chapter explains the method of computation adopted to calculate the number
of parking spaces required under the parking provision standards.
3.1
Computation of Parking Requirement

The parking provision standards in Appendix A should be used to
calculate the number of parking spaces to provide. The number of
parking spaces required for a proposal is to be rounded to the nearest
integer. It is important to note that the rounding off is done for each use
before adding up to obtain the total requirement for the development.
Common area shared by two or more uses, the computation is based on
the main use of the development. Refer to sample computation of parking
requirement in Table 2.

3.2
For Additions/Alterations and/or Extension proposals where the floor

area of the types of use of the existing development is not available, the
computation for additional parking requirement will be based on the
increase in floor area in the proposal.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
3.3
For Change of Use proposal, the difference in parking requirements of the

proposed use and the original approved use of the development gives the
additional number of parking spaces to be provided. Refer to sample car

Development in a gazetted conservation area need not comply with the

parking provision if the development is to be fully restored according to
URA conservation requirements. Clearance for parking provision from
LTA is not required for a fully conservation building.
However, the following types of conservation developments would be
required to make provision for parking:
i)
New development within URA's envelope control site and
ii)
Extension of conserved buildings.
The number of parking spaces to provide shall be in accordance with the
parking standards in Appendix A. Non-residential developments and
residential developments in Zones 1 and 2 are allowed to provide up to
20% below the car parking requirement. This allowance is not applicable
to lorry, loading/ unloading and coach parking requirements.
New developments are required to comply with the parking provision for
the whole development within the site. For conserved buildings with rear
extension that comply with URA conservation requirements, the
conserved portion of the building is exempted from parking provision.
However, the extension is subject to normal parking requirements. A
sample computation of the car parking requirement for a conserved
building with rear extension is illustrated in Table 4.

(Diagram C-11 & C-19)
Clearway ramps are inclined floors that provide access between

two levels. Clearway ramps are ramps that do not have parking
stalls adjacent to them.
Accessway refers to driveway that provides access to the parking
place. These do not have parking stalls adjacent to them.
Single-lane is a lane where only one vehicle can pass through at
any given time.
Multi-lane is where more than one vehicle can pass through at any
given time and there is no physical separation/divider between the
lanes. Divider may be in the form of kerbs, railings, parapet and
walls.
Inside lane of curve is to the innermost lane, nearest to the centre
point of curve.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Outside lane of curve refers to any lane positioned after the

innermost lane.
Inside radius of lane of curved accessway and driveway is the
distance measured from the inside curve edge to the centre point of
the curve.
Maximum gradient is the steepest gradient of ramp measured along
the centre line of the ramp. Gradient refers to the ratio of the
inclination of the ramp (height:length).

Mechanised Parking Systems & Car Lifts
______________________________________________________
Quick preview
This chapter explains the guidelines for provision mechanised parking system and car
lifts in car parking places. The guidelines are general in nature. Each parking proposal
would be evaluated on its merit.
5.1
Mechanised Parking Systems

5.1.1
General
Where a site is restricted such that a conventional type of parking
spaces is not technically feasible because of inadequate space for ramp
system or a proper designed parking layout, mechanised parking
system could be considered. Mechanised parking systems can be
broadly categorised under two groups:
a.
b.
Lateral Displacement Systems and

Vertical Systems.
In the lateral displacement system, cars are parked on moveable

platforms that move automatically along guide rails laid flat on the
floor to make passageway for unimpeded access and driving away.
In the vertical system, cars are parked on vertical ferries wheel or
lifted vertically and positioned into lots. Such system allows cars to be
parked and retrieved automatically.
For new parking proposals, parking lots provided with approved
mechanised parking systems would be considered as provision for
meeting the requirement under the Parking Places (Provision of
Parking Places and Parking Spaces) Rules.
In existing car parks, if additional parking spaces were provided with
mechanised parking system, any deficiency charges previously paid
would not be refundable.
Some examples of mechanised parking systems are given in
FIG.13 to 16.

5.1.2
Guidelines for mechanised parking places

Guidelines are general in nature. Notwithstanding the guidelines,
each parking proposal should be evaluated on its merit.
These guidelines deal with the car parking provision and layout
aspect and the applicant is required to get the clearance or approval
on other operational aspects of the system, such as fire system,
security etc. from the relevant authorities. The mechanism of the
system does not come under the jurisdiction of the Authority.
Special conditions for lateral displacement system
Geometric
a.
Minimum head distance:
5.0m (Diagram MS-1)
b.
Minimum manoeuvring space (sideways):
3.0m (Diagram MS-2)

- One way traffic:
3.6m
- Two way traffic:
6.0m
e.
Parking spaces not on platform should comply with the

Parking Places (Provision of Parking Places and Parking
Spaces) Rules.
Platform
a.
Platform should be able to accommodate the cars using the

parking place.
b.
Parking platforms may be installed in individual or double

platforms. When arranged in parallel to driveways, the
platform should have slope on all four sided so that the
vehicles can drive over them in all directions. (Diagram
MS- 3)
Guiderail
a.
Guiderail should not protrude beyond 20mm from finished

floor level.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Queuing space
a.
At the ingress, minimum queuing length should be 5% of

the total number of parking spaces proposed. (Diagram
MS-4, 5 & 6)
b.
Clearway access ramp up to the parking lot may be treated

as a queuing space. (Diagram MS 4)
c.
Entire queuing space shall preferably be within the

premises of the development and not spill onto public
street. If the queuing spaces are permitted to spill-over on
to a public service road, it should not extend beyond the
boundary of the adjacent lot (Diagram MS- 5). The queue
should not impact the traffic flow along the service road.
Special conditions for Vertical Systems

Geometric
a.
Minimum internal dimension of cage or platform:
2.6m x 6.2m
b.
Minimum load:
2600 kg
c.
At the ingress, a holding bay of at least one car space in

front of each car-lift should be provided. Such holding bays
must be within the premises of the development. (Diagram
MS- 6)
d.
At the egress (where it is separate from ingress), a

minimum of one car length holding space should be
provided, which must be within the premises of the
development. (Diagram MS- 7)
