To qualify for a parking adjustment the independent and semi-dependent housing developments must score a minimum 17 points, and a dependent living development must score a minimum of 15 points from the facility location standards shown in Exhibit 55-734.
The parking requirements shown here are the typical required parking standards for the city of Omaha.

The Omaha standard parking requirements for an area can be modified by zoning overlays or other Omaha parking code requirements specific to each project.
