(1) For the purposes of this subsection, an attached garage

is any garage connected to the dwelling via a breezeway or any other
similar structure.
(2) In the case of a semiattached or detached garage,
said building cannot exceed one story nor a vertical distance of 12
feet measured from the grade plane to the average height of the roof

If provided underneath the building or underneath the ground, the following general requirements for garages provided in the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code shall apply, that is:
(1) Motor vehicles may be parked or stored in the open
upon the premises, but no vehicle may be parked or stored nearer than
10 feet to any combustible wall of a building or any unprotected opening
in a noncombustible wall.
(2) Garages shall be arranged and constructed so that
flammable or toxic gases or vapors cannot spread to fixed sources
of ignition. Floors or decks shall be constructed of noncombustible
materials that will not absorb flammable liquids. Each floor or roof
deck upon which vehicles are stored shall be pitched for drainage.

least 300 square feet of parking area shall be provided for each required
parking space. Parking spaces provided in access lanes shall not be
counted.
All parking spaces shall be paved, oiled or
covered with gravel, shall be suitably drained, shall be maintained
in good condition and shall have adequate means of ingress and egress.
All parking spaces shall be situated on the
same lot and in the same building zone in which the building or premises
requiring such parking spaces is located.
Parking spaces required by §§
212-27 through
212-34 shall be maintained in accordance with the provisions of §§
212-27 through
212-34, as long as such buildings or premises are used for the purposes requiring such parking spaces to be furnished.
The certificate of occupancy shall be contingent
upon the continuance of such parking spaces, and, if they should,
for any reason, cease to be used and maintained for such purposes,
or if the owner for the time being of the building for which such
certificate of occupancy was issued should cease to own or control
such parking area, the Board of Trustees may, upon notice to the applicant
or the owner or occupant for the time being of such building, and
after giving him an opportunity to be heard, cancel and revoke such
certificate of occupancy.
