•This is arrow of stores customarily ( but not always ) in a strip , or line paralleling the highway
and with parking between the line of storefronts and the highway.
•Ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 sq ft of space.
INTERMEDIATE OR COMMUNITY-SIZE CENTRE:
•Also a strip of stores but substantially larger than the neighborhood center and also called
“junior” department store as the major unit.
•The parking pattern is normally similar to that of the neighborhood center.
(TIME SAVER STANDARDS)
REGIONAL CENTRE (SUBURBAN):

Parking
• Per 100 sq. meter gross retail area = 4-5

and safe
• The minimum size of a compact parking
space should be 2.5 meters by 5 meters
for cars.
• Most common types of parking are
angle parking, perpendicular parking
and parallel parking.
• Turning radius for car: 3.5 meter and 6
meter inner and outer radius
respectively.
• Turning radius for motorcycle: 2.6
meter.
Basement Parking
• The maximum practical grade for driveways
varies between 8–14 percent for low-volume
driveways and five percent for high-volume
driveways.
• At least two ramps of minimum 3.6 meter
width or one ramp of minimum 5.4
meter width and adequate slope should
be provided.

utilities and non-habitation purpose like is the
A/C plant room, generator room and such
other similar utilities.
Parking for Differently Abled

• Every internally sited room to be ventilated must have a non- closable ventilation opening.
• The size of area through which air flows must be 100mm^2 for every m^3 of room volume.
• Gaps around the door=250mm^2.
• cross-section of the ventilation shaft for single duct systems without mechanical extract,
in bathrooms and WCs without open windows( up to 8 storeys) =1500mm^2 per room.

• Back side of the screen and surroundings of the screen be “Black and
absorptive” to prevent light reflections.
• Projection- booth and noise should not enter audience section, hence inside of
the booth be made highly absorbent and window- glasses be properly sealed.
