Town of Snow Hill, MD Off-Street Parking, Loading and Unloading

Where required by other provisions of this chapter, off-street parking, loading and unloading facilities shall be required to lessen congestion in the streets. The facilities required herein shall be available throughout the hours of operation of the particular business or use for which such facilities are provided. As used herein, the term "parking space" includes either a covered garage space or an uncovered parking lot space located off the public right-of-way.

The net parking space per vehicle shall not be less than nine feet wide and 18 feet long.

A garage or carport may be located wholly or partly inside the walls of the principal building or attached to the outer walls. If separated from the principal building, the garage shall conform to all accessory building requirements.

Off-street parking and loading areas for fewer than five vehicles and the approaches thereto shall be either paved or covered with gravel, crushed shells, such as oyster or clam shells, or cinders; off-street parking and loading areas for more than five vehicles and the approaches thereto shall be finished so as to provide a durable and dust-free surface, such as gravel, crushed shells, such as oyster or clam shells, concrete or bituminous concrete [approved by the Code Enforcement Officer or his or her designee].

§ 200-102 Applicability.

General. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the regulations of this article apply to all districts and uses.

(1)

New uses and development. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the parking regulations of this article apply to all new buildings constructed and all new uses established in all zoning districts.

(2)

Enlargements and expansions.

(a)

Unless otherwise expressly stated, the parking regulations of this article apply whenever an existing building or use is enlarged or expanded to include additional dwelling units, floor area, seating capacity, employees or other units of measurement used for establishing off-street parking requirements.

(b)

In the case of enlargements or expansions that trigger requirements for additional parking, additional spaces are required only to serve the enlarged or expanded area, not the entire building or use. In other words, there is no requirement to address a lawful, existing parking deficit.

(3)

Change of use. When the use or occupancy of property changes, additional off-street parking and loading facilities must be provided to serve the new use or occupancy only when the number of parking or loading spaces required for the new use or occupancy exceeds the number of spaces required for the use that most recently occupied the building, based on the standards of this Zoning Ordinance. In other words, "credit" is given to the most recent lawful use of the property for the number of parking spaces that would be required under this Zoning Ordinance, regardless of whether such spaces are actually provided. A new use is not required to address a lawful, existing parking deficit.

(4)

Existing. Existing off-street parking and loading areas may not be eliminated, reduced or modified below the minimum requirements of this article.

§ 200-103 Minimum required parking ratios.

Except as otherwise expressly stated, off-street motor vehicle parking spaces must be provided in accordance with Table 103.1.

§ 200-104 Calculation of required parking.

The following rules apply when calculating the required number of off-street parking spaces:

Multiple uses. Unless otherwise expressly allowed in accordance with the shared parking regulations of § 200-106B, lots containing more than one use must provide parking in an amount equal to the total of the requirements for all uses on the lot.

Fractions. When measurements of the number of required spaces result in a fractional number, any fraction of less than 0.5 is rounded down to the next lower whole number, and any fraction of 0.5 or more is rounded up to the next higher whole number.

Area measurements. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all area-based (square footage) parking standards must be computed based on the sum of the gross horizontal areas of a building devoted to a use requiring off-street parking. The following areas are not counted as floor area for the purpose of calculating off-street parking and loading requirements: floor space devoted primarily to the housing of mechanical or electrical equipment, elevator shafts, stairwells, storage (except as otherwise noted), commercial kitchen areas, ramps, aisles, and maneuvering space devoted to off-street parking or loading facilities, or basement floor space unless the basement area is devoted to merchandising activities, the production or processing of goods, business or professional offices or dwelling uses.

Bench seating. Each 20 inches of seating area in bleachers, pews or similar bench-seating arrangement counts as one seat for the purpose of calculating seating-based parking requirements. See Figure 104.D.

Figure 104.D: Bench Seating Measurement

Occupancy- or capacity-based standards. For the purpose of computing parking requirements based on employees, students, members, residents or occupants, calculations must be based on occupancy standards established by the Building Code.

Flexibility in administration required.

(1)

The Town of Snow Hill recognizes that, due to the particularities of any given development, the inflexible application of the parking standards set forth herein may result in a development either with inadequate parking space or parking space far in excess of its needs. Alternative off-street parking standards may be accepted if the applicant can demonstrate that such standards better reflect local conditions and needs.

(2)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Planning Commission may allow deviations from the parking requirements set forth herein when it finds that:

(a)

A residential development is irrevocably oriented toward the elderly;

(b)

The proposed development is located in the B-1 Downtown Shopping District;

(c)

The proposed development is an infill or redevelopment project located in the CR Community Redevelopment District; or

(d)

A business is primarily oriented to walk-in trade.

(3)

Whenever the Planning Commission allows or requires a deviation from the parking requirements set forth herein, it shall enter on the face of the zoning certificate and/or site plan the parking requirement that it imposes and the reasons for allowing or requiring the deviation.

(4)

If the Planning Commission concludes, based upon information it receives in the consideration of a specific development proposal, that the presumption established by § 200-103 for a particular use classification is erroneous, it shall initiate a request for an amendment to the Table of Parking Requirements.

§ 200-105 Unlisted uses and establishment of other parking ratios.

The Planning Commission is authorized to establish required minimum off-street parking ratios for unlisted uses and in those instances where authority to establish a requirement is expressly granted.

Such ratios may be established on the basis of a similar use/parking determination (as described in § 200-103), on parking data provided by the applicant or information otherwise available to the Planning Commission.

Parking data and studies must include estimates of parking demand based on reliable data collected from comparable uses or on external data from credible research organizations [e.g., Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) or American Planning Association (APA)]. Comparability will be determined by density, scale, bulk, area, type of activity and location. Parking studies must document the source of all data used to develop recommended requirements.

§ 200-106 Parking exemptions and reductions.

Parking exemptions. There shall be no off-street parking requirements in the B-1 District.

Shared parking.

(1)

Purpose. Sharing parking among different users can result in overall reductions in the amount of motor vehicle parking required. Shared parking is encouraged as a means of conserving scarce land resources, reducing stormwater runoff, reducing the heat island effect caused by large paved areas and improving community appearance.

(2)

Applicability. Shared parking facilities are allowed for mixed-use projects and for multiple uses with different periods of peak parking demand, subject to approval by the Code Enforcement Officer. Required residential parking and accessible parking spaces (for persons with disabilities) may not be shared and must be located on site.

(3)

Methodology. The number of parking spaces required under a shared parking arrangement shall be approved by the Planning Commission and may be determined in accordance with the following calculations:

(a)

Multiply the minimum parking required for each individual use, as set forth in § 200-103 by the percentage identified for each of the six designated time periods in Table 106.1.

(b)

Add the resulting sums for each of the six columns.

(c)

The minimum shared parking requirement is the highest sum among the six columns resulting from the above calculations.

(d)

Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that total as the shared parking requirement.

Table 106.1: Shared Parking Calculation Guidelines
	Weekday			Weekend
Land Use	Midnight to 7:00 a.m.	7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.	6:00 p.m. to Midnight	Midnight to 7:00 a.m.	7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.	6:00 p.m. to Midnight
Office and industrial	5%	100%	10%	0%	60%	5%
Lodging	100%	60%	90%	100%	65%	80%
Eating and drinking	50%	70%	100%	45%	70%	100%
Religious assembly	0%	10%	30%	0%	100%	30%
Assembly and entertain- ment	10%	50%	100%	5%	80%	100%
Retail and comm. service	5%	70%	90%	0%	100%	60%

(4)

Other uses. If one or more of the land uses proposing to make use of shared parking arrangement do not conform to the land use classifications in Table 106.1, as determined by the Codes Enforcement Officer, then the applicant must submit sufficient data to indicate the principal operating hours of the uses. Based upon this information, the Code Enforcement Officer or his or her designee is authorized to determine the appropriate shared parking requirement, if any, for such uses.

(5)

Alternative methodology. As an alternative to the shared parking methodology Subsection B(3), the Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to approve shared parking calculations based on the latest edition of the Urban Land Institute's or the Institute of Transportation Engineer's shared parking model or based on studies prepared by professional transportation planner or traffic engineer. The shared parking analysis must demonstrate that the peak parking demands of the subject uses occur at different times and that the parking area will be large enough for the anticipated demands of both uses.

(6)

Location. Shared parking may be located on site or off site. Off-site parking is subject to the regulations of §§ 200-106 and 200-107.

§ 200-107 Location of off-street parking.

General. Except as otherwise expressly stated, required off-street parking spaces must be located on the same lot and under the same control as the building or use they are required to serve.

Setbacks. Except as otherwise expressly stated, off-street parking areas are subject to the principal building setbacks of the subject zoning district.

(1)

Off-street parking spaces accessory to a detached house, attached house or two-unit house may be located in any driveway. Driveways must be improved with a hard, dustless material approved by the Code Enforcement Officer.

(2)

Nonresidential parking areas shall be located at least 15 feet from every street line and six feet from every residential lot line.

Off-site parking.

(1)

When allowed. All or a portion of required off-street parking for nonresidential use may be provided off site, in accordance with the regulations of this section. Required accessible parking spaces and parking required for residential uses may not be located off site.

(2)

Location. Off-site parking areas must be located within a one-thousand-foot radius of the use served by such parking, measured between the entrance of the use to be served and the outer perimeter of the farthest parking space within the off-site parking lot. Off-site parking lots are allowed only in zoning districts that permit the principal use to be served by the off-site parking spaces, unless approved as a special exception.

(3)

Design. Off-site parking areas must comply with all applicable parking area design and parking lot landscape regulations of this Zoning Chapter.

(4)

Control of off-site parking area. The property to be occupied by the off-site parking facilities must be under the same ownership as the lot containing the use to be served by the parking. The off-site parking area may be under separate ownership only if an agreement is provided, in a form approved by the Town Attorney, guaranteeing the long-term availability of the parking, commensurate with the use served by the parking. Off-site parking privileges will continue in effect only as long as the agreement, binding on all parties, remains in force. If an off-site parking agreement lapses or is no longer valid, then parking must be provided as otherwise required by this article.

§ 200-108 Use of off-street parking areas.

Off-street parking facilities may not be used for the parking of vehicles for the purpose of displaying the same for sale unless the principal use of the property on which the parking facility is located is the business of selling or leasing used or new vehicles. This provision is not intended to prohibit an owner or occupant of R-zoned property from displaying vehicles for sale on the property's off-street parking facilities provided the vehicle is owned by the owner or occupant of the residential property. Except for flagrant or repeated violations, the Town will endeavor to obtain voluntary compliance with the restrictions on displaying cars for sale prior to initiation of enforcement proceedings.

No vehicle repair or service of any kind shall be permitted in conjunction with off-street parking facilities in a residential or business zoning district, except for minor repairs or service on vehicles owned by an occupant or resident of the premises. The sale of gasoline and motor oil in conjunction with off-street parking facilities is not permitted in any residential zoning district.

§ 200-109 Parking of recreational vehicles and equipment.

Not more than one recreational vehicle and one piece of recreational equipment or utility trailer may be parked or stored in the rear or side yard of any lot in a residential zoning district unless approved by the Planning Commission. For the purpose of this provision, one piece of recreational equipment is equal to a single non-motor vehicle with no more than one watercraft, personal watercrafts or specialty prop-crafts. Recreational vehicles, recreational equipment and utility trailers may not be stored in the required front yard setbacks.

Notwithstanding the regulations of § 200-109A, recreational vehicles, recreational equipment and utility trailers may be temporarily parked in the rear or side yard, in the street yard if stored on a driveway, or on an adjacent street provided that the Code Enforcement Officer is given prior notice of the dates for such temporary parking. For purpose of this provision, temporary parking is the parking of vehicles or equipment during any period not exceeding 10 days in aggregate (which may or may not be consecutive) within any period of 30 consecutive days.

Recreational vehicles, recreational equipment and utility trailers stored or parked in residential zoning districts must be owned by the owner or occupant of the subject property.

The recreational vehicle, recreational equipment, or utility trailer must be properly licensed.

No recreational vehicle, equipment, or utility trailer may have its wheels removed or be affixed to the ground so as to prevent its ready removal.

No parked or stored recreational vehicle may be used for living, sleeping or business purposes.

§ 200-110 Parking area design.

Tandem and valet parking arrangements. Parking areas must be designed and constructed to allow unobstructed movement into and out of required parking spaces without interfering with fixed objects or vehicles except in the case of allowed tandem parking which may be used to satisfy residential parking requirements if the tandem spaces are assigned to the same dwelling unit.

Stall sizes and parking lot geometrics.

(1)

Off-street parking areas must be designed and constructed in accordance with the regulations of Table 110.B(1). See also Figure 110-1.

Table 110.B(1) Parking Area Dimensions
	Angle of Parking
	0° (Parallel)	45°	60°	90°
Stall width (feet)	7	9	9	9
Stall length (feet)	33 (middle), 24 (ends)	18	19	18
Aisle width (feet)	14 (one-way), 24 (two-way)	14	15	24
Module width (feet)		50	53	60

Note: Dimensions must be measured from the center line of the strip delineating the space.

Figure 110-1: Parking Area Dimensions

Striping. In all parking lots containing five or more parking spaces, striping consisting of parallel lines, four inches in width must be provided for each parking space. Striping must be yellow or white. Accessible parking spaces must be painted with the standard ADA white symbol on blue background. See Figure 110-2.

Figure 110-2: Parking Lot Markings

Surfacing. All outdoor parking spaces must be properly engineered and improved with a compacted stone base and surfaced with asphaltic concrete, or other comparable all-weather, dustless material approved by the Code Enforcement Officer.

Wheel stops. In all parking lots containing five or more parking spaces, wheel stops must be installed where necessary to prohibit vehicle overhang onto adjacent pedestrian ways or landscape areas.

Curb and gutter. Combination concrete curb and gutter or concrete barrier curbs are required around the perimeter of all parking lots containing five or more parking spaces and around all landscape islands and divider medians. Alternatives to curb and gutter that comply with the Town's best management practices for stormwater management may be approved at the sole discretion of the Code Enforcement Officer.

Landscaping. All off-street parking lots containing five or more spaces must be landscaped in accordance with Article XII.

Access.

(1)

Each required off-street parking space must open directly upon an aisle or driveway with a width and design that provides safe and efficient means of vehicular access to the parking space.

(2)

All off-street parking must be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner that will least interfere with motorized and nonmotorized traffic.

(3)

No driveway serving a detached house, attached house or two-unit house across public property or requiring a curb cut may exceed 16 feet in width, excluding any flared pavement portion, as measured at the lot line.

(4)

All other uses must be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access from the street, as approved by the Code Enforcement Officer.

§ 200-111 Accessible parking for people with disabilities.

The number, location and design of accessible parking spaces for people with disabilities must be provided in accordance with this section and the Maryland Accessibility Code.

Accessible spaces must be provided in accordance with Table 111-1.

Accessible parking spaces count towards the total number of parking spaces required.

Each accessible parking space, except on-street spaces, must be at least 16 feet in width, with either an eight-foot or five-foot wide diagonally striped access aisle. The access aisle may be located on either side of the vehicle portion of the accessible space. Abutting accessible parking spaces may not share a common access aisle. See Figure 111-1.

Figure 111-1: Accessible Parking Spaces

Accessible parking spaces and accessible passenger loading zones that serve a particular building must be the spaces or zones located closest to the nearest accessible entrance on an accessible route. In separate parking structures or lots that do not serve a particular building, parking spaces for disabled persons must be located on the shortest possible circulation route to an accessible pedestrian entrance of the parking facility.

The regulations of this section apply to required spaces and to spaces that are voluntarily designated for accessible parking.

§ 200-112 Drive-through and drive-in facilities.

Purpose. The regulations of this section are intended to help ensure that:

(1)

There is adequate on-site maneuvering and circulation area for vehicles and pedestrians;

(2)
