Sec. 38-115. Off-Street Parking and Loading Spaces Required. Revised
Off-street parking and loading spaces shall be provided in accord with the following schedules. For off-street loading, references are to Schedule B which sets space requirements and standards for different groups of use classifications and sizes of buildings. References to spaces per square foot are to be computed on the basis of gross floor area.
Where the use is undetermined, the Community Development Director shall determine the parking requirements based on (1) primary use, and (2) what use has the most parking demand (unless they are equal). In order to make this determination, the Community Development Director may require the submission of survey data from the applicant or collected at the applicant’s expense. (Ord. 3472 § 1, 2012)
The Community Development Director may also require a Parking Management Plan for appropriate projects to minimize parking impacts, protect air quality, and encourage alternative transportation modes. (Ord. 3653 § 19, 2022; Ord. 3472 § 1, 2012)
Maintenance of Parking Areas. No parking area of parking space provided for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall be eliminated, reduced, or converted in any manner below the requirements established in this chapter, unless equivalent facilities are provided elsewhere in conformity with this chapter.
Location. Off-street parking facilities shall be located, as specified below, subject to review by the Architectural Review Committee on a site-specific basis. Where a distance is specified, the distance shall be measured from the nearest point of the parking facility to the nearest point of the building that the facility is required to serve:
1.For single- or multiple-family dwellings, parking facilities shall be located on the same lot or building site as they are required to serve; provided, however, that no required uncovered parking to service such dwelling or dwellings shall be located in the required front yard setback for the dwelling or dwellings.
2.For hospitals, rooming houses, lodging houses, and clubs, not more than 150 feet from the building they are required to serve.
3.For uses other than those specified above, not over 400 feet from the building they are required to serve. Off-site parking lots shall be located within reasonable walking distance of alternative transportation stops, as specified by the Architectural Review Committee on a site specific basis.

Parking adjustments and shared parking may be used for both commercial and residential parking requirement in a mixed-use project. (3342, 05/2004) |
