Orem requires a minimum number of off-street paved parking spaces by zoning type. For accessory apartments, at least 3 paved off-street parking pads are required. Driveways may not be within 25 feet of a fence over 3 feet in the clear vision area.
Orem's off-street parking requirements are set by Chapter 22 (Zoning). For properties with accessory apartments, at least three paved or asphalted off-street parking pads are required — at least one must begin behind the front setback line, and no more than one stall may be in the side yard setback adjacent to a street. Per code, no driveway or drive access may be located within 25 feet of an existing fence over 3 feet in height if it would create a fence within the clear vision area associated with the driveway. Driveways must be paved and maintained. Contact Orem Development Services at (801) 229-7058 for specific requirements.
Parking on unapproved surface: code compliance notice. Fines after correction period. Inoperable vehicles: removal order.
