Question

lakewood,ohio.public garage- nothing specific googles- is it a local or state thing?

Answer 1

There are no "legal sizes" on private property. However, most councils for planning purposes use a guideline of 2.4 x 4.8 metres.

Answer 2

Minimum sizes for parking spaces would be a local ordinance type thing.    Contact the city or county.      

Try parking at the far end of the garage,  away from the crowd.   Try parking in the last space on a row,  and crowd the curb.  Leaves more space to the other side and removes one side of your car from danger.

Answer 3

Yes, most states have minimum requirements for public parking areas.  It may not apply to lots not open to the public, so check your local government web site.
