   There is no maximum number but there are minimum numbers as prescribed by the Americans with Disabilities Act as listed in this chart:

   One in every eight, but not less than one, parking space must be van accessible with a designated handicap sign and an access aisle 96″ wide.

   Total Spaces in Lot Accessible Spaces Required
   1-25 1 van
   26-50 1 std. + 1 van
   51 – 75 2 std. + 1 van
   76-100 3 std. + 1 van
   101-150 4 std. + 1 van
   151-200 5 std. + 1 van
   201-300 6 std. + 1 van
   301-400 7 std. + 1 van
   401-500 7 std. + 2 van
   501-1000 2% of total spaces*
   1001 and over 20 + (1 per 100 over 1000)*

   Standard Accessible (std.) parking space is 8 foot minimum + 5 foot access aisle.

   I suppose an owner could make all spaces for only handicapped vehicles if that was the only people that would be wanting to park in that lot. New York State follows the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.
