Besluit van de gemeenteraad van de gemeente Borne houdende regels omtrent parkeernormen – Parking Standards and Regulations
The Besluit van de gemeenteraad van de gemeente Borne houdende regels omtrent parkeernormen is a municipal regulatory framework established by the Gemeente Borne in the Netherlands. Effective since July 12, 2018, this document functions as a policy rule (beleidsregel) under Article 4:84 of the Algemene wet bestuursrecht (Awb). It provides a structured legal and technical framework for determining parking requirements for all new spatial plans, initiatives, and developments within the municipal territory, operating as a successor to earlier provisions in the Bouwverordening (Building Ordinance).
The document's scope covers car and bicycle parking requirements for residential, commercial, and recreational projects. It translates the national guidelines from CROW Publication 317 (Kencijfers parkeren en verkeersgeneratie) and CROW Publication 723 (ASVV) into specific local standards for Borne. The regulations are organized into chapters covering the legal framework, urbanization degrees (stedelijkheidsgraad), and socio-economic data specific to the region. Key appendices include detailed tables for Autoparkeernormen (Car Parking Standards) and Fietsparkeernormen (Bicycle Parking Standards), alongside a specific calculation method for school drop-off zones.
The framework ensures that parking needs are met on private property to prevent overflow into the public space. It incorporates calculation systems for shared parking use based on presence percentages (aanwezigheidspercentages) across different times of the day and week. This structured approach allows developers, architects, and planners to calculate the exact parkeereis (parking requirement) for varied functions from retail to healthcare.
Urban Zones and Degree of Urbanization
The municipality categorizes its territory into four distinct urban zones to differentiate parking pressure and availability of alternative transport. These zones determine the applicable parking standards:
- Centrum: The continuous core area with multiple retail outlets serving local and regional functions.
- Schil/overloopgebied: Areas adjacent to the center with mixed residential and commercial uses, often within walking distance of the core.
- Rest bebouwde kom: Residential and work areas outside the center, characterized by continuous built environments.
- Buitengebied: All functions outside the built-up boundary, including the villages of Hertme and Zenderen.
Borne is officially classified as weinig stedelijk (low urbanization) with an average address density of 881 addresses per km². However, for regulatory purposes, the center and its fringe are treated as matig stedelijk (moderately urbanized) to align with specific CROW indicators.
Parking on Private Property and Responsibility
A core principle of the regulation is that the parking demand generated by a new initiative must be solved on private land (eigen terrein). The developer or initiator is responsible for all costs related to realizing these spots and any necessary parking studies.
- Parkeereis: The specific number of spots required by the building permit.
- Bornsche Maten: Specific standards apply to this expansion area, such as 2.7 spots for a semi-detached house (2-onder-1-kap), where 2 must be on-site and 0.7 in public space.
- Functionality over usage: The spatial capacity (function) of a building is leading, rather than its temporary practical use, to ensure long-term compliance if ownership changes.
Shared Use and Presence Percentages
The regulation permits meervoudig gebruik (shared use) of parking spaces when different functions have peak demands at different times. This is calculated using aanwezigheidspercentages (presence percentages) defined in Table 7.
- Residential: 100% presence on weekday nights, 50% on weekday mornings.
- Offices: 100% presence on weekday mornings and afternoons, 0% on weekend nights.
- Retail: 100% presence on Saturday afternoons and late-night shopping (koopavond).
- Healthcare: Hospitals maintain consistent demand, ranging from 40% to 100% depending on the group (staff vs. visitors).
Calculation for Schools and Daycare
Annex 2 specifies a mathematical formula for drop-off zones (halen en brengen) at primary schools and childcare centers to manage traffic safety during peak hours.
- Groups 1-3: Uses a reduction factor of 0.5 for duration and 0.75 for children per car.
- Groups 4-8: Uses a lower reduction factor of 0.25 for duration, as children depart faster.
- Default percentages: If no local study is available, the regulation assumes 60% of younger pupils and 40% of older pupils arrive by car.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the parking standard for a detached house in Borne?
For a detached house (vrijstaande woning), the standard is 2.0 spaces on private property and 0.7 spaces in the public area.
How are parking requirements calculated for a supermarket in the center?

Yes, fietsparkeernormen are included; for example, a library requires 3.0 bicycle spots per 100 m² BVO.
What urbanization category does Borne fall into according to this document?
The municipality as a whole is classified as weinig stedelijk, but the center and its shell are designated as matig stedelijk for parking calculations.
Can I use public parking spaces to meet my project's parking requirement?
Generally, requirements must be met on private property; however, for the Bornsche Maten area, a portion (e.g., 0.7 spaces per unit) is designated for the public space.
What happens if a building's function changes?
A function change requires a new environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning) and must meet the parking standards defined in this regulation for the new use.
Are there different standards for staff and visitors at a hospital?
Yes, Table 7 provides different presence percentages; for instance, hospital visitors peak at 100% on weekday afternoons, while staff peak at 100% on weekday mornings.
What is the CROW publication used as the basis for these norms?
The regulations are based on CROW Publication 317, Kencijfers parkeren en verkeersgeneratie (2012).
