Single-family house 180-190 sqm on a 10x20m building plot, first draft general contractor

So I read here that every parking space (outside the building boundaries) - whether open or covered - must have a minimum distance of 6m from the street. But we can ask ...?

So I read "maximum" distance there. But that would mean that the parking space must start directly at the property boundary.

How important is the pantry? Did it come about just because there was still space or because you want one. The purpose of having a pantry in modern houses has already been widely discussed here ....

So I read "maximum" distance there. But that would mean that the parking space has to start directly at the property boundary.

True. Could you then theoretically build directly on the street? I've never seen that. Does that exist?

Since it also says that garages must be at least 1.5m away from the street, I can imagine that. Because it wouldn't make sense to allow 1.5m for the garage and insist on 6m for the parking space/carport.

Apartment and single-family house are usually not the same! Please check again.

I basically agree with you. However, the annex of the statute, which regulates the number of parking spaces for different types of buildings, states that "residential buildings and other buildings with up to two apartments" must provide two parking spaces per apartment. Therefore, for me, a single-family house is a residential building with one apartment - but you can certainly find that out at the building authority...

Well, I read "maximum" distance there. But that would mean the parking space must start directly at the property boundary.

That is indeed not clearly worded. I interpreted it to mean that the parking space may start at max. 6m behind the property boundary (and does not have to end there) - I definitely need to clarify that.

True. So could one theoretically build directly on the street? I've never seen that. Is there such a thing?

I think in the adjacent development (which is only a few years old and comparable in terms of regulations) there are a few houses where the carport is directly on the street. I'll take some photos when I'm in the area again...

(2) If more than one parking space is required for an apartment, this additional parking space can also be arranged so that the other parking space belonging to this apartment is enclosed."

I think you are referring to that – but I wouldn’t assume that it applies to a single-family house. That is the difference between a residential unit (apartment or single-family house) and an apartment. In my opinion, this clearly refers to the apartment. That means for a house with two apartments, if 4 parking spaces are required, the second one for each apartment can be located behind the first. That also makes sense, because otherwise having space for 4 parking spaces at a house could become tight.

Here, the parking space regulations have been tightened for a year now – nowadays 3-4 parking spaces per single-family house (each individually accessible; number depending on square meters) and 2-3 parking spaces per apartment depending on size (previously 1.5). This makes sense, because once the offspring can also drive, many families have 3 cars and those without a spot end up parking on the street. There are now streets here where farmers often have trouble getting through with their harvesters.

On the other hand, it was announced at the same time how high the fines are if the required number of parking spaces is not provided. So, in plain language: you can buy your freedom there for the benefit of the municipal treasury. That’s also a way to make money...

If it’s such an effort for you to get two individually accessible parking spaces there, maybe you can also buy your way out? I would ask about that.
