It doesn't have to be for small-scale multi-family, provided that a city has alleys.
Our bog-standard Chicago 3-flat sits on a fairly typical 25'x125' Chicago lot, which gives us 25' of frontage along the back alley, just enough space for a parking pad that holds 3 cars, one for each unit.
It is a near-ubiquitous parking arrangement for flat buildings across the city, as nearly every single city block in Chicago is bisected by an alley.
