If additional off-street parking is needed, you have several options. You may be able to expand an existing garage or carport or add a new garage or carport. In either case, you will need to obtain a building permit from the Planning and Development Services Department at 913/895-6225.

There are certain requirements for the distance between any new structure and your property lines that must be met before a permit will be issued. Check with Planning to determine what setback requirements apply.

Another alternative is to expand your current driveway to allow additional room for parking. All driveway expansions must be paved. In addition, all driveways must be 2 feet away from any side property line. The total amount of driveway surface cannot exceed 35 percent of the area of your front yard.
