I agree with you that 9'x18' is smaller than ideal. I just meant it's on the large side of what we actually have today.

When an aisle has parking both sides, this space is shared, so only 50% allocated to each space. But if you ever see an aisle with parking on only one side, you might be surprised how much more room cars need to get in/out. Even with shared aisles, it is ~100sqft. 300sqft for a parking spot really is a bare minimum. And that's before you start adding up common spaces like ramps, etc.
- michael1999 3y agoJust checked a city lot I use. The spots are small, and trucks don't really fit. But even these tiny spots use 510sqft for each pair of parking spots on an aisle, so ~250sqft each (without accounting for ramps, and other shared spaces).
