PARKING
This illustration demonstrates the parking requirements for a T4 zone. The Miami 21 Zoning Code encourages the use of historic alleyways and parking behind the home, but does not require that new construction build these alleyways if they are non-existent in the neighborhood. Tandem parking is to lessen the occurrences of all-concrete front lawns with cars parked next to one another horizontally.
