Is the space in front of the garage counted as a parking space?

Hello everyone,
we are currently working on planning our multi-generational house in more detail. A larger house with two residential units is planned, as my parents-in-law will be moving in.
So now to my question. The development plan requires that at least 2 parking spaces per residential unit must be provided. The garages must be set back at least 5 meters from the street. The space allows for the construction of a double garage. That would already be 2 parking spaces. Does the space in front of this garage also count as a parking space? Or do separate spaces have to be planned here?
Best regards, Stefan

That depends on your parking space regulations. In our case, the space in front of the garage also counts as a parking space. Personally, I think that's ridiculous, but that's how it is regulated here. If there are no parking space regulations in your area, or nothing further is mentioned about it in the development plan, then you can also designate your parking spaces in front of the garage.
