What is the minimum width required for a parking space in a commercial building?

  1. 2.6 meters

  2. 3.0 meters

  3. 3.5 meters

  4. 4.0 meters

The correct answer is: 2.6 meters

The minimum width required for a parking space in a commercial building is 2.6 meters. This dimension is established to ensure that vehicles can comfortably fit within the designated area, allowing for sufficient room for door openings and maneuverability. The Ontario Building Code specifies this measurement as part of its guidelines to maintain safety and functionality in parking facilities. Dimensions greater than this may be applicable for specific types of vehicles or more spacious designs but the fundamental requirement for standard parking spaces is set at 2.6 meters. This minimum ensures that common passenger vehicles have adequate space while also optimizing land use in commercial developments.
