In older parts of the city, lots for flat buildings can be even narrower than 25' which means you only get two spots + a walkway. 25' is kinda the minimum lot width for 3 parking spaces in back.
also, many flat buildings are only 2-flats, so there's no need to shoehorn in 3 parking spaces.
either way, this stuff is all grandfathered in for chicago. the city is fortunate to have such a preponderance of "missing middle" housing to begin with.
