of this Code to ensure that all activities in Jumeirah Village
are provided adequate and reasonable parking and loading
facilities to meet the needs of structures and uses.
6.01.01. On Street Parking
On street parking is strongly encouraged throughout
Jumeirah Village as a flexible, efficient parking option. On
street parking shall be permitted along all streets throughout
Jumeirah Village, except in the instance that a frontage road
accompanies a street, parking shall only occur along the
frontage road.
A. On street parking located adjacent to the front lot line of

for that particular lot.

parking. No diagonal parking is permitted along local and
primary streets of Jumeirah Village.
C. On street parking shall have a minimum length of 7m and
a minimum width of 2.5m unless otherwise dictated by

6.01.02. Parking Types
Opportunities for parking shall be classified in four categories
as follows:
A. On street parking. Permitted in all Zones throughout
Jumeirah Village.
B. Driveway/Carpark. Parking exclusive to Villa and
Townhome Zones appropriate to low density, limited use
activities.
C. Carpark Structure. Appropriate to areas with high density
or a desire to preserve space. Carpark structures are
restricted by location, design and appearance. Ability to
place parking below grade, improves the efficiency of
carpark structures.
D. Open Lot. Paved, marked, open area adjacent to a
structure. An open lot is considered an inefficient system
of parking appropriate only in areas with significant
traffic, but limited density.
