Parking space — description. A required off-street
parking space shall be an area of not less than one hundred seventy-one
(171) square feet and not less than nine (9) feet wide by nineteen
(19) feet long measured perpendicularly to the sides of the parking
space exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, streets or alleys
or from private driveways or aisles leading to streets or alleys and
to be used for the storage or parking of passenger automobiles or
commercial vehicles under one and one-half (1½) ton capacity.
3.
Parking space for disabled persons. Parking spaces
designated for use by vehicles displaying the distinguishing "disabled"
license plate issued pursuant to Sections 301.142 or 301.071, RSMo.,
shall meet the requirements of the Federal Americans with Disabilities
Act, as amended, and any rules or regulations established pursuant
thereto.
4.
Measurement of space. When determination of the
number of required off-street parking spaces results in a requirement
of a fractional space, any fraction up to and including one-half (½)
shall be disregarded, and fractions over one-half (½) shall
be interpreted as one (1) parking space.
5.
Access.
a.
Parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular
access to a street or alley in such a manner as will least interfere
with the movement of traffic and so designed as to permit adequate
maneuvering area for vehicles to turnaround where only one (1) entry
or exit is provided in order that no backing of vehicles into the
street is required. No driveway or curb cut in any district shall
exceed twenty-five (25) feet in width.
b.
Off-street parking areas in the commercial or industrial districts
shall provide ingress and egress to any public right-of-way only at
such location as recommended by the City Engineer and approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
6.
Surfacing. All parking areas and driveways within
the City of Union shall be paved in accordance with the applicable
standards for the area to be paved as set forth in the American Association
of State Highway Transportation Officials. The edition in effect when
the paving is performed shall control. In the event there is no specific
listing for a given type of area to be paved, such areas shall be
two (2) inches of rolled asphaltic or Portland concrete over a compacted
base of four (4) inches. All paving must be maintained in good condition.
The requirements established by this Section shall be applicable to
all driveways and parking areas, established after August 9, 2004,
whose access is from any City street or alley or a paved private street.
Any driveway or parking areas in existence as of August 9, 2004, shall
not be required to be paved unless and until such time as the owner
or an authorized agent of the owner elects to change the status or
condition of the property in a manner which would require the issuance
of a building permit with respect to any building or buildings situated
or to be erected thereon, except in those instances where an electrical
service upgrade permit, mechanical permit and/or an on-site sewer
permit is sought on single-family residential property. Any application
for a building permit regarding new or existing buildings on any lot
upon which there is situated any unpaved driveway or parking area
shall also contain the plans necessary to convert such unpaved areas
to paved areas if the use thereof is to be continued after the desired
construction or changes have been completed. Such application shall
also contain a statement as to which existing unpaved areas are not
to be utilized after the proposed improvements are made. If the building
permit pertains to a commercial or industrial use, the applicant shall
also deposit with the City at the time the application for a building
permit is submitted one (1) of the following:
[Ord. No. 3806 §1, 7-8-2013; Ord. No. 3879 §1, 7-14-2014; Ord. No. 3986 §1, 12-14-2015; Ord. No. 4156, 12-11-2017]
a.
An irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the City of Union equal
in value to the estimated cost of the required paving. In the event
there is a discrepancy between the estimate of the applicant and the
City Engineer, the estimate of the City Engineer shall control. Any
such letter of credit shall provide that the City of Union shall have
the right to draw against any such letter of credit in the event the
applicant fails to complete the required paving in a reasonable amount
of time after the building permit is issued. In determining what is
a reasonable amount of time, the City Engineer's decision shall control.
In making such decision, the City Engineer shall take into consideration
the size of the project, the weather conditions and any other factor
which is beyond the control of the applicant.
b.
Escrow funds equal in value to the estimated cost of the required
paving. In the event there is a discrepancy between the estimate of
the applicant and the City Engineer, the estimate of the City Engineer
shall control. The City of Union shall have the right to draw against
any such escrow funds in the event the applicant fails to complete
the required paving in a reasonable amount of time after the building
permit is issued. In determining what is a reasonable amount of time,
the City Engineer's decision shall control. In making such decision,
the City Engineer shall take into consideration the size of the project,
the weather conditions and any other factor which is beyond the control
of the applicant; or
c.
A surety approved by the City staff and City attorney equal in value
to the estimated cost of the required paving. In the event there is
a discrepancy between the estimate of the applicant and the City Engineer,
the estimate of the City Engineer shall control.
7.
Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street
parking area shall be arranged so as to reflect the light away from
all adjoining properties.
8.
Parking for one (1) or more uses. Parking for one
(1) or more uses in a commercial or industrial district may be provided
on a separate lot from the use or uses to be served when said separate
lot is within a similar zoning district type and within three hundred
(300) feet of the use or uses to be served, as measured along pedestrian
pathway. When two (2) or more uses combine to provide the required
parking space jointly, the parking space so provided shall equal the
total space required if each were to provide parking space separately.
Joint or remote parking areas provided in accordance with this paragraph
shall be comprised of a minimum number of stalls as provided in conjunction
with uses in the "B-3" Neighborhood Business District. Such parking
must be approved by the City Engineer or designated Zoning Enforcement
Official. Subsequent to approval, said parking plan and an appropriate
legal instrument of agreement among the owners of the various properties
involved shall be recorded with the Franklin County Recorder of Deeds.
Such recorded plans and agreement shall be binding upon the owners
of the properties involved and their successors and assigns and shall
limit and control the use of land included in the plan to those uses
and conditions approved by the Zoning Enforcement Official and agreed
to by the owners of the properties involved.
9.
Additions to existing uses. No off-street parking
space required under this Chapter shall be used for any other purpose.
Where a change in use creates greater parking requirements than the
amount being provided, an occupancy permit shall not be issued until
provision is made for the increased amount of required off-street
parking.
10.
Housing for the elderly. The off-street parking
requirements for housing for the elderly in residential zoning districts
may be reduced to .75 spaces per dwelling unit when approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. When such a reduction is approved,
an area of sufficient size shall be designated on the site plan to
accommodate additional parking, should conversion to conventional
housing occur in the future.
11.
Storm water. Adequate storm water drainage facilities
shall be installed in accordance with City of Union storm water regulations.
12.
Striping. All parking spaces other than those directly
serving one- and two-family detached dwellings shall be properly marked
by durable paint in stripes a minimum of four (4) inches wide and
extending the length of the parking space.
13.
Residential parking. The required parking spaces
for residences shall be located in the side and rear yard and in the
front yard on a driveway providing access to a garage, carport or
other permitted parking area for a dwelling. Driveways and parking
areas shall be an improved surface of asphalt or concrete.
14.
Existing spaces. Off-street parking and loading
spaces in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance may not
be reduced below the number required herein for equivalent new construction.
15.
Change in use. A permitted use in an existing building
that does not meet the parking requirements of the Section may be
used without full compliance with the required number of parking spaces
provided:
[Ord. No. 4367, 4-13-2020]
a.
The amount of parking available is at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the parking required for the new use in Section 405.785 based upon net floor area.
b.
The applicant provides the maximum number of parking spaces able
to be accommodated on the site while complying with all other provisions
of this Code and without being required to remove or partially remove
an existing structure.
c.
Net Floor Area. The net floor area of a commercial, industrial or
office use in an existing building changing its use, shall exclude
the area set aside for the purposes of kitchen facilities, mechanical
rooms, closets and similar rooms, passage ways, storage rooms and
toilet facilities, or other spaces accessory to the primary use when
calculating the parking space minimums.
16.
Inoperable vehicles. No trucks, truck trailers,
or vehicles of any type shall be on skids, jacks, or any other device
that will make them immobile or inoperable, except for emergency repairs.
17.
Use of trucks or trailers for storage. No trucks
or trailers of any kind, except those already in use as of the effective
date of this Ordinance, or any portions thereof, shall be used for
storage purposes.
18.
Vehicles being repaired. Garages and repair establishments
shall not store or temporarily store any vehicle to be repaired for
a period of more than fifteen (15) days. This does not include vehicles
that are garaged or vehicles which may be authorized for storage for
longer periods by the Board of Aldermen under conditional use permit.
19.
Planned commercial and industrial parking. The minimum off-street parking and loading requirements for any use or building in a planned commercial or industrial district shall not be reduced below that required for the same use in any other commercial, industrial district as set forth in this Article XIX, Off-Street Parking and Loading Space Requirements. These requirements may exceed minimum standards as required by conditions where determined necessary. However, where the planned commercial and industrial district includes two or more uses, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend, and the Board of Aldermen may approve, a total reduction of not more than twenty percent (20%), or thirty percent (30%) for developments greater than two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet in gross floor area under single ownership or management control, of the required off-street parking and loading spaces, where it has been demonstrated by study of the combined uses and customary operation of the uses that adequate parking would be provided.
20.
Ownership.
a.
When required accessory off-street parking facilities are provided elsewhere than on the lot on which the principal use served is located, they shall be in the same possession, either by deed or long-term lease or agreement(s) as outlined in Subsection (8) above, as the property occupied by such principal use, and the owner shall be bound by covenants filed of record in the office of the City Clerk, requiring the owner and his/her heirs and assigns to maintain the required number of off-street parking spaces during the existence of the principal use.
b.
No parking facilities accessory to a business or manufacturing use
shall be located in a residential district.
21.
New or enlarged business establishments.
a.
Any new business constructed or any additions to an existing structure which occurs after the effective date hereof shall provide two (2) parking spaces for every three (3) principals, agents or employees. The requirements of this Subsection shall be in addition to the requirements of Subsections (3) and (4) hereof. Further any specific parking requirements for a specific business shall take precedence over this Subsection.
b.
All such required employee parking spaces shall be clearly designated on all building permit applications and all such employee parking spaces shall be clearly marked so as to indicate that such space is for employee parking or shall be located in a specific area reserved for employee parking (See Section 405.835, Article XXII of this Chapter).

C.
Design And Maintenance.
1.
Loading space — description. An off-street
loading and unloading space shall be a hard-surfaced area of land,
open and enclosed, other than a street or public way, used principally
for the standing, loading, or unloading of motor trucks, tractors,
and trailers so as to avoid undue interference with the public use
of streets and alleys.
2.
Location. No permitted or required loading space
shall be closer than fifty (50) feet to any property in a residential
district unless completely enclosed by building walls, or a uniformly
painted solid fence or wall, or any combination thereof not less than
six (6) feet in height. No permitted or required loading space shall
be located within twenty-five (25) feet of the nearest point of intersection
of any two (2) streets. Loading spaces open to the sky may be located
in any required yards.
3.
Measurement. When determination of the number of
required off-street loading spaces results in a requirement of a fractional
space any fraction up to and including one-half (½) shall be
disregarded, and fractions over one-half (½) shall be interpreted
as one (1) loading space.
4.
Surfacing. All open off-street loading spaces shall
be improved with a compacted macadam base, not less than seven (7)
inches thick, surfaced with not less than two (2) inches of asphalt
concrete or some comparable all-weather dustless material.
