Altadena CSD requires 2 on-site parking spaces for 1–4 bedroom homes, 3 for 5–6 bedrooms, and 4+ for 7+ bedrooms. Where 3+ spaces are required, the extras may be uncovered and developed in tandem.
Section 22.306.070.A.5 of the Altadena CSD supersedes LA County Code 22.112.060 for residential parking. Required spaces: 1–4 bedrooms = 2 spaces; 5–6 bedrooms = 3 spaces; 7+ bedrooms = 4 spaces (+ 1 for every additional 2 bedrooms). Where three or more parking spaces are required, those spaces may be uncovered and developed in tandem. Driveways in front-yard 'driveway zones' (a triangle 10 ft back × 45° angle per Section 22.306.020) face additional landscaping and fence-height constraints.
Insufficient parking is a zoning violation; can prevent permit issuance and trigger Code Enforcement action.
