The document discusses current permitted parking requirements in the city. It states that driveway aprons must be concrete, and the rest of parking areas must be asphalt or concrete. Other surfaces are allowed with approval. It also states that no more than 50% of the front yard can be used for parking, and parking is allowed anywhere behind or to the sides of structures without size limits. The document also shows maximum lot coverage percentages allowed for parking/paving in several cities, and notes the theoretical maximum coverage for the city of College Station based on minimum lot sizes.
