Determination Of Required Number Of Spaces.

Number of parking spaces required. To determine the minimum amount of parking spaces required, first see Section 405.520. If Section 405.520 does not list the particular use, the minimum amount of parking spaces required is one (1) off-street parking space for each one hundred fifty (150) square feet of the gross building size.

Fractional spaces. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this regulation results in a requirement of a fractional space, the fraction of one-half (½) or less may be disregarded and a fraction in excess of one-half (½) shall be counted as one (1) parking space.

Parking Space Dimensions. A parking space shall be connected with a street or alley by a surfaced driveway which affords satisfactory ingress or egress for automobiles. For handicapped spaces, see Subsection (E) below.

Perpendicular and angled. A parking space shall be (exclusive of driveway, alley, street) nine (9) feet in width by twenty (20) feet in length.

Parallel. A parking space shall be nine (9) feet in width by twenty-three (23) feet in length.

Compact car parking. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the required off-street parking spaces may be designed for compact cars. Such spaces shall be grouped in one (1) location, identified by signs as reserved for compact cars only and located reasonably close to building entrances in order to encourage utilization. When parking spaces for compact cars are utilized, then the square feet of required parking may be reduced by ten percent (10%).

Overhangs. Where the end of the parking space abuts a curbed area, an overhang may be permitted which would reduce the length of the parking space by two (2) feet. Such overhangs shall be measured from the face of the curb and shall not encroach within ten (10) feet of a right-of-way line or encroach into walkways less than six (6) feet in width.

Parking And Driving Aisles Setbacks. The perimeter of off-street parking areas including loading areas, maneuvering areas, aisles, driveways and approaches shall comply with the following setbacks:

Front lot line. The back of curb shall be ten (10) feet from the front lot line or right-of-way line.

All other property lines. The back of curb shall be five (5) feet from the side and rear lot lines.

Alley ways and common access drives. The back of curb shall be three (3) feet from an alley property line or from the edge of a common access drive.

Parking Facilities For Handicapped. Parking facilities shall be provided for the physically handicapped for all establishments used by the general public, employees or visitors.

Spaces required. Refer to Article XVIII Parking and Loading Regulations Section 405.525 Parking Spaces for Disabled Persons.

Dimensions. Each reserved space shall be at least twelve (12) feet wide and at least twenty (20) feet long.

Location. Parking spaces for the physically handicapped shall be located as close as practical to elevators, ramps, walkways and entrances. Parking spaces should be located so that the physically handicapped persons are not compelled to wheel or walk behind parked cars to reach entrances, ramps, walkways and elevators.

Ramps. Where a curb exists between a parking lot surface and a sidewalk surface, an inclined curb approach or a curb cut with a slope of not greater than one (1) unit vertical to twenty (20) units horizontal shall be provided for wheelchair access.

Driveways And Aisles Required. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space.

Driveway approaches. Ingress and egress for parking shall be by means of driveways with a minimum width of twenty-four (24) feet for a two-way drive and twelve (12) feet for a one-way drive and a maximum width of forty-eight (48) feet for a two-way drive and thirty-six (36) feet for a one-way drive. Width of a drive is measured at the property line and does not include curb and gutter in the measurement. Head-in parking from any public right-of-way shall not be permitted. Ingress and egress from common/shared drives is encourage in this district to minimize the number of access points along roadways.

From public streets, an approach shall be paved with reinforced Portland cement concrete six (6) inches thick from the edge of the road surface through the property line.

From common access drives, an approach shall be paved according to Section 405.400.

Aisles. Standing areas, aisles for maneuvering and entrance and exit roadways shall not be computed as parking space and shall be provided in addition to parking space. Aisles, which connect adjacent properties, are allowed and encouraged where their existence encourages safe and orderly traffic flow. Parking spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven (7) feet six (6) inches and shall be measured at right angles to the axis of the vehicle. Aisles shall not be less than:

Traffic Lanes	90-degree	60-degree	45-degree	Parallel
One-way traffic	24 feet wide	18 feet wide	15 feet wide	12 feet wide
Two-way traffic	24 feet wide	20 feet wide	20 feet wide	20 feet wide
(Angles shall be measured between centerline of parking space and centerline of aisle)

Surfacing Of Parking Lots. All off-street parking, loading areas, maneuvering areas and aisles shall be at the very minimum hard surfaced according to the following regulations:

Vehicles twenty thousand (20,000) pounds or less. Ninety-five percent (95%) compacted base that is a minimum of four (4) inches of crushed rock and covered with four (4) inches of Portland cement concrete or asphalt concrete.

Vehicles over twenty thousand (20,000) pounds. Ninety-five percent (95%) compacted base with a minimum of six (6) inches of crushed rock and covered with a minimum of six (6) inches of Portland cement concrete or asphalt concrete.

Curbing And Storm Drainage. All parking lots and drives leading thereto shall have curbs and drainage facilities as part of the site plan approved by the Planning Commission.

The applicant shall provide drainage structures and easements of sufficient size to handle all the stormwater from the site.

"CG-1" curb and gutter is required around all parking and drive areas.

Lighting. Any off-street parking area providing space for five (5) or more vehicles which are normally used during the hours of darkness (after 6:00 P.M.) shall be provided with lights that provide at least an average of one-fourth (0.25) foot-candle over the entire parking area, measured on the ground surface and arranged to minimize glare to motorists on public streets and to residents of adjoining property.

Parking Structures. Parking space provided in an enclosed or semi-enclosed structure shall not project beyond any required building line.

Accessory Use. Off-street parking shall be considered accessory to the use for which the parking is provided. Parking not located on the same tract on which the main use is located must be located within the zoning district in which parking is a permitted use or be located in accordance with the provisions of this Article relating to off-street parking conditional uses.

Plans And Approval Required. Plans showing the layout and design of all required off-street parking and loading areas shall be submitted as a part of the site plan for approval by the Planning Commission. Before approving any parking layout, the Planning Commission shall confirm that the spaces provided are usable and meet standard design criteria contained herein. In the case of a use for which off-street parking requirements are not specifically enumerated or mentioned, the requirements for off-street parking for a use that is similar shall apply. Similarity is to be determined by the zoning enforcement person. All required off-street parking spaces shall be clearly marked on the plan.

Occupancy Certificate. All required parking spaces, driving aisles and access drives required by that portion of the building covered by the occupancy permit sought shall be constructed prior to the issuance of any occupancy certificate. No building shall be occupied prior to issuance of an occupancy permit.

Automobile Repair And Service Prohibited. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted on any off-street parking facility.

Expansion Or Change In Use Requires Parking Adjustment. When there is an enlargement to any building to an extent in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the existing building or structure or there is a change in use of the lot, building or structure, the off-street parking requirements shall meet the requirements of the expanded or new use. In no case shall such a change or expansion of use be permitted that cannot provide the number of off-street parking or loading spaces required in this Article.

Voluntary Provision. Any off-street parking lot not required by the provisions of these Articles but which is voluntarily provided shall observe all requirements of this Article in the development of such parking area.

Additional Parking Regulations. The following regulations shall apply:
