Parking Design Standards

Practical, safe, and compliant parking—designed to standards that work.

Parking facilities must do more than meet demand—they need to move people and vehicles safely, fit into the site plan, and satisfy local, state, and federal requirements. DeShazo Group applies Parking Design Standards to every project so lots and garages are code-compliant, intuitive to use, efficient to operate, and future-ready.

45 years of proven experience

We’ve developed and reviewed standards with cities across North Texas, applying ITE, MUTCD, ADA, and local ordinances on projects from schools and medical campuses to mixed-use districts and municipal programs.

Get started

What we do

Standards that turn policy into buildable details

Code & Ordinance Review: apply local zoning for stall counts, dimensions, ADA spaces, landscape and screening.
Dimensional Standards: stall size, aisle widths, turning radii, ramp grades, and curb return geometry.
Safety & Accessibility: ADA routes, detectable warnings, lighting, pedestrian priority, and safe crossings.
Functional Efficiency: layouts that reduce conflict points, improve wayfinding, and minimize delay.
Sustainability & Future-ready: stormwater, permeable pavement, EV charging, micromobility, and ops tech.

Why it matters

Clear standards cut risk and improve outcomes

Regulatory confidence: consistent with municipal codes, ADA, ITE, and MUTCD.
Safety & comfort: protects drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians across the site.
Space & circulation efficiency: right-sized layouts that reduce delay and “dead” pavement.
Consistency: across phases, parcels, and jurisdictions, simplifying reviews and construction.
