Is the number of parking spaces a commercial building has mandated by building code?
Question : Is the number of parking spaces a commercial building has mandated by building code?
Or other ordinance? If a new office building is being constructed, is there a legal requirement to have a certain number of spaces? Or is it strictly up to the builder/owner to determine?
If it matters, I am in Orange County, Florida.

Only in some areas
I am not an expert on Orange County but I do know the rules here. It is never the building owner. It is always what the local rules day.
In this area where space is tight there are many commercial organizations that want to expand but can not get a permit because there is not enough room for the number of parking spaces that their new size building would require. The building will fit but the parking lot will not and that is enough to cancel the project. And it is even worse for a new building where they give them no breaks on parking requirements.
