What does this template do?
Estimate net stall area, total parking stalls, and accessible stall counts from gross lot area and planning allowances.
Net stall area multiplies gross zone area by one minus the drive-aisle and landscaping share. Estimated stalls divides gross area by gross area per stall and rounds down, and accessible stalls rounds up by the entered share.
Planning ratios are preliminary geometry estimates, not a substitute for a dimensioned site layout or local zoning and accessibility codes.
The working tab keeps editable inputs separate from formulas, with 6 populated sample rows, summary KPIs, an in-cell scale bar, and room for 60 records. The Notes tab explains the method and how to extend the range. All example records are fictional and can be replaced. Download a workbook format to retain formulas, or CSV when you need calculated values only.

How do you use it?
- Replace the fictional records in blue cells with your own data. Keep the dark formula cells.
- Use the units stated in the column headers and keep each record on one row.
- Read the calculated columns and inspect the results before using them. Clear unused input rows; keep their formulas.
- The prepared range holds 60 records in rows 11–70. Extend formulas and summary ranges together if you add more rows.
What is it good for?
- Estimate net stall area, total parking stalls, and accessible stall counts from gross lot area and planning allowances

- Checking a calculation before adapting it to a larger workbook
Questions about this sheet
How is the result calculated?
Net stall area multiplies gross zone area by one minus the drive-aisle and landscaping share. Estimated stalls divides gross area by gross area per stall and rounds down, and accessible stalls rounds up by the entered share.
What assumptions should I check?
Planning ratios are preliminary geometry estimates, not a substitute for a dimensioned site layout or local zoning and accessibility codes.
Can I add more than 60 records?
Yes. Copy the formula columns into new rows and extend every summary range to include them. Keep inputs and formulas in their original columns.
Are the example records real?
No. All example data is fictional and intended to demonstrate the formulas. Replace it before using the workbook for your own work.
