A.
Each parking space in a lot to serve commercial, light manufacturing,
industrial or apartment uses shall be at least nine feet in width
and contain at least 180 square feet of area exclusive of access lanes.
The minimum dimension, including access lane, across a double-loaded
parking aisle with spaces at right angles to the access lane shall
be 62 feet and, for a single-loaded aisle, 45 feet. The minimum dimension,
including access lane, across a double-loaded parking aisle with spaces
at 45° to the access lane shall be 50 feet and, for a single-loaded
aisle, 30 feet. Where parking abuts an alley 20 or less feet in width,
the width of the alley may be used as part or all of the access lane.
A parking aisle, for purposes of this chapter, shall include the area
within a parking lot containing an access lane and the parking spaces
to which the lane provides access. A double-loaded parking aisle denotes
parking spaces on both sides of an access lane.
B.
Parking spaces may be located up to 500 feet away from the commercial,
light manufacturing, industrial or apartment uses served. Existing
on-street spaces or public or commercial parking lot spaces within
the five-hundred-foot limit may be counted towards required parking
on the basis that six such public or commercial spaces may be considered
equal to one required private space. Commercial uses directly abutting
Allegheny River Boulevard shall be exempted from meeting parking requirements.
Where required parking is provided on a second property, the developer
shall show the Zoning Officer that he either owns the property on
which the parking will be located or has a lease of at least five
years duration on such property before a building permit may be issued.
C.
Where a structure is in mixed use, the total parking requirements
for the various uses shall be added together to determine the total
parking required.
D.
Whenever a use is enlarged or changed, the additional parking required
to serve such enlargement or change shall be in accordance with this
article, but nothing in this article shall be construed to require
uses existing prior to the passage of this chapter to comply with
these requirements except when such use is enlarged or changed.
E.
All parking areas serving any commercial, light manufacturing or
industrial operation or any residential activity where more than two
dwelling units utilize the same area shall be surfaced with a permanent,
all-weather material. Such parking areas shall be sloped, not more
than 6%, towards a storm drainage system meeting the requirements
of Part 12 of this chapter.
F.
On a single-family lot or townhouse lot, a garage and the access
to it on the property will count as required parking areas. Where
dwelling units and/or commercial uses share parking and/or garage
space, parking designated for one dwelling or commercial use shall
not block that designated for other dwellings or commercial uses.
