HANDICAPPED PARKING SUPPLY

The assumption is examined that it is individual land use rather than the availability of parking that attracts handicapped persons. Extensive field studies are reported that were conducted at individual parking facilities serving various land uses. These included general retail, shopping center, office, bank, restaurant, educational, industrial, and hotel. The average and peak legal use of handicapped parking stalls per 1,000 sq feet of occupied floor area were calculated from the data collected. Although precise handicapped space requirements for each land use are difficult to determine, general needs are established and presented. These findings seem to justify the parameters of land use and building area rather than parking supply, as a basis for calculating the demand for handicapped parking.
