Los Angeles Yoga Studio Parking Requirements
In Los Angeles, parking requirements for yoga studios are determined by the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) and may vary based on the studio’s size and specific location.
Here’s an overview of parking requirements
General Parking Requirements
- Studios Over 1,000 Square Feet: For yoga studios exceeding 1,000 square feet, the LAMC mandates 1 parking space per 100 square feet of floor area. This classification aligns yoga studios with health or athletic clubs, dance halls, and similar establishments.
- Studios 1,000 Square Feet or Smaller: For studios measuring 1,000 square feet or less, the requirement is 1 parking space per 500 square feet, resulting in a maximum of two parking spaces.
Location-Specific Considerations
Certain areas within Los Angeles have specific zoning overlays or specific plans that may modify standard parking requirements. For instance, the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan may provide distinct parking standards. If the specific plan is silent on a particular use, the LAMC requirements prevail.
Recommendations:
- Consult Local Authorities: Given the potential for variations based on location and zoning overlays, it’s advisable to consult the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) or the Department of City Planning for guidance tailored to your specific situation.
- Review Zoning Information: Utilize tools like the Zone Information and Map Access System (ZIMAS) to determine the zoning designation of your property and understand any applicable specific plans or overlays.
By adhering to these guidelines and consulting with local authorities, you can ensure compliance with parking requirements for your yoga studio in Los Angeles.
