City of Houston Parking Requirements

Written by WGI | May 1, 2017, 9:00:51 AM
With a lack of a formal zoning ordinance within the City of Houston, one of the largest City of Houston requirements to impact a development is Off-Street Parking.  If a development is located within the Full-Purpose Jurisdiction of the City of Houston, then the amount of on-site parking required to serve the development is dependent on the end-use as shown in Section 42-492 of the City of Houston Code of Ordinances.

Feel free to contact WGI's Houston Office should you need any help in determining the off-street parking requirements associated with your projects.
