Nota Parkeernormen Lisse 2024 – Municipal Parking Regulations for Car and Bicycle
The Nota Parkeernormen Lisse 2024 is the official regulatory framework established by the Gemeente Lisse to govern parking requirements for cars and bicycles in spatial developments. Issued as an elaboration of the municipal parking policy plan, this document serves as the assessment standard for ensuring sufficient parking capacity for all (new) construction, renovation, and functional changes within the municipality. It officially entered into force on February 13, 2025, superseding the previous Beleidsregel Parkeernormen Lisse 2019.
The regulatory scope of this document encompasses diverse building types, from residential units—including social housing, apartments, and student rooms—to non-residential functions such as commercial retail, offices, and healthcare facilities. It operates within the legal structure of the Omgevingswet (Environment Act), specifically serving as a dynamic reference linked to the municipal Omgevingsplan. The standards defined herein are derived from research into actual car ownership in Lisse, combined with CROW kencijfers (benchmarks) adapted for the local context. Key structural elements of the document include specific norm tables categorized by usable floor area (gebruiksvloeroppervlak or gbo), geographic zones (Centrum, Overig, and Buitengebied), and detailed calculation methodologies for shared usage.
This framework provides architects, developers, and planners with a transparent procedure for permit applications. It defines the technical requirements for parking spaces, acceptable walking distances between functions and parking locations, and the mandatory integration of bicycle storage facilities as required by the Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving (Bbl).
Legal Framework and the Environment Act
Since January 1, 2024, the Nota Parkeernormen Lisse 2024 has functioned as a dynamic reference within the Omgevingsplan. Any application for an omgevingsvergunning (environmental permit) must be tested against the most current version of these policy rules.
- Article 1.2 and 1.3 Omgevingswet: These articles mandate the preservation of a safe, healthy physical environment and the sustainable management of societal needs.
- Intake and Environment Table: Initiatives that do not fit the standard Omgevingsplan are first assessed via an intake- en omgevingstafel to determine spatial quality and desirability.
- Transitional Arrangement: Construction initiatives known to the municipality at the time of publication may, under specific conditions, use the 2019 norms for a maximum of one year.
Residential Car Parking Standards
The parking norms for residential functions are based on actual car ownership data in Lisse rather than generic national averages. The municipality distinguishes between three urban zones to reflect varying parking needs: Centrum Lisse (Schil centrum), Overig Lisse (Rest bebouwde kom), and Buitengebied Lisse.
- Ground-bound homes: Norms range from 1.3 to 1.8 per dwelling depending on the zone and usable floor area (gbo).
- Social Housing: Specific lower norms apply, such as 1.0 for dwellings smaller than 100 m² gbo in the Centrum zone.
- Apartments: Norms vary from 0.9 (dwellings < 50 m²) to 1.8 (dwellings > 125 m² in the Buitengebied).
- Visitor Parking: A standard addition of 0.2 parking spaces per dwelling is generally required, except for specific categories like labor migrant housing.
Bicycle Parking and Quality Requirements
Under the Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving (Bbl), new residential developments must provide secure, lockable bicycle storage. For apartments, a communal facility is permitted as an alternative to individual storage, provided it meets specific capacity and area requirements.
- Apartment Capacity: Minimum of 0.75 bicycle parking spaces per 25 m² gbo, with a baseline of at least 2 spaces per apartment.
- Visitor Cycling Norm: An additional norm of 0.2 spaces per apartment applies to accommodate visitors.
- Non-Residential Functions: Norms are based on the CROW Leidraad Fietsparkeren and Fietsparkeur standards for accessibility and usability.
- Dimensions: Standard bicycle parking spaces must have a center-to-center distance of at least 400 mm.
Calculation Methodology and Shared Use
The total parking requirement is calculated by multiplying the function's size (e.g., number of dwellings or m² bvo) by the applicable norm. Rounding occurs at the end of the calculation; values up to 0.49 are rounded down, and 0.5 and above are rounded up.
- Shared Use (Dubbelgebruik): When multiple functions share parking facilities, the requirement can be reduced based on presence percentages across different times of the week (e.g., workday vs. weekend).
- Walking Distances: Parking must be located within acceptable distances: 100 meters for residential and healthcare, and 400 meters for workplace and retail functions.
- Driveway Values: Not all private driveways count as a full space. A single driveway without a garage counts as 0.8, while a long driveway with a carport counts as 1.0.
