LTA prescribes the parking provision standards and requirements for motor vehicles and bicycles. The requirements are usually based on the quantum of the gross floor area or the number of units of the development uses.
Under LTA’s Range-based Parking Provision Standards (RPPS), developments are subject to car and motor-cycle1 parking provision requirements.
Unless explicitly approved as private parking lots in the approved plans, all car and motor-cycle parking lots shall be treated as common property.
1 Motor-cycle parking provision is mandatory in all non-residential developments.
The RPPS allows developments to provide any level of car and motor-cycle parking provision within a specified range, defined by a lower bound and an upper bound – see figure below. The range varies according to location zones and land uses. Details may be found in LTA’s Code of Practice for Vehicle Parking Provision in Developments.
Range-based Parking Provision Standards
New B1 developments shall be subject to a process of waiver evaluation by LTA, if one wishes to provide surplus car and motor-cycle parking lots, ie parking provision above the upper bound based on the new RPPS.
Within multi-user developments, industrial strata units may be allowed to have their own private car/lorry parking lots subject to the following:
For approved private car/lorry parking areas that were previously not computed as GFA, they may be converted to other allowable useable area subject to the following:
To promote a car-lite society, B1 developments may be required to provide bicycle parking facilities within the developments. Refer to LTA’s Code of Practice for Vehicle Parking Provision in Developments here for the list of requirements.
Unless explicitly approved as private parking lots in the approved plans, all bicycle parking lots shall be treated as common property.
Bicycle parking lots provided according to LTA’s new standards are exempted from GFA computation. Surplus provision of bicycle parking lots may be exempted from GFA computation depending on merits and context of the development.
