Miles,

You will need streets department approvals and will need a zoning permit for the use. Most zoning districts do not permit surface parking as a matter of right. Therefore, you will more than likely generate a refusal for the use and potentially a second refusal if the proposed parking space does not meet the required dimensional standards. We recently obtained relief legalizing two surface parking spaces on a corner parcel in Fairmount. Would be happy to share more details on the process and look into your particular case.

No, the lot area only permits 2 units by-right. If you were to seek zoning relief, I do not believe you can show hardship for the 3rd unit. Not to mention, you will have a difficulty laying out 3 units on a lot this size unless you also obtain relief for less open area. Again, don't see this as being ripe for relief.
