At Monterey Cohousing, Minneapolis, Twin Cities, Minnesota, we have a complex mixture of systems for parking. 15 units (7 townhomes with tuckunder garages, 2 parking spaces for all but one, which has one) (8 coop-ownership apartments, with 5 reserved parking spaces with outside plug-in outlets for winter, plus 3 garage stalls in winter, plus other parking along the back driveway.) Plus 7 or 6 guest spaces. Currently, of the owners, 5 homes with 1 adult, 1car, 2 homes with 2 adults, 1 car 8 homes with 2 adults, 2 cars or 1.6 cars/home Plus 2 renters who use the back driveway, and 3 renters in a townhouse who use the garage and the 'pad' in front of it. Interestingly, of the 7 owner households in the big building, 1 rents a garage stall from a townhome, 3 don't want garages, and 3 (with 4 cars) rotate chances at the garage in winter. Actually, three car owners rotate access to 2 spots, as the 3rd spot goes to a guy with a disability, by group decision. In Minnesota Winter, I'd say this works surprisingly well. All moving into the coop big building understood the garage limitations . The number of spaces doesn't seem to be an issue except when there are parties, when there is no way we would have enough. We do have a total, of 2/unit, and use them, one way or another.
