What is the difference?

Fairfax County regulates off-street parking on residential and non-residential sites to ensure that adequate parking is available. This is done primarily through the Zoning Ordinance regulations and the Public Facilities Manual as development plans are approved. Notwithstanding, land uses and parking layouts can change. The information below points applicants to the forms, checklists and process documents necessary to accommodate such changes to ensure compliance with County regulations.

Parking Reductions

Prior to submitting any request for a parking reduction, please contact the LDS Parking Program Manager.

 

Parking Redesignation Plan

parking spaces rearranged

  • A Parking Redesignation Plan shows a proposed re-striping layout of the parking spaces and travel lanes.
  • Submission of a Parking Redesignation Plan is required when parking spaces are redesignated (added, eliminated, re-arranged or reconfigured) at a site and no other changes require submission of a site plan or minor site plan.
  • Requests to reduce the number of parking spaces in Tysons are submitted as Tysons Rate Redesignations (i.e. Tysons Opt-ins).

Parking Tabulation Form

parking tabulation form

  • A Parking Tabulation shows the number of spaces required for all land uses (tenants) on a site, based on the Zoning Ordinance parking rates (Use the Land Use - Parking Rate Table to find the required parking rates).
  • Submission of a Parking Tabulation is required when a change or expansion in land use requires a greater parking requirement than the previous use and no physical changes and re-striping are proposed to the parking lot.
