[Ord. No. 3674 §§1—3, 8-17-2005]
The purpose of this Article is to alleviate or prevent congestion
on the public streets in the City of Hazelwood, enhance on-site circulation,
mitigate potential adverse effects of parking areas on adjacent properties
and to promote the safety and welfare of the public by establishing

requirements in accordance with the use to which the property is utilized.
It is intended that all uses have adequate on-site parking and loading
facilities to serve that particular use to which the property is utilized.
In any event, no public street or portions thereof shall be utilized
to meet off-street parking and loading requirements.
[Ord. No. 3674 §§1—3, 8-17-2005]

No tractor, tractor-trailer, semi-truck or other commercial vehicle
shall be permitted to be parked or stored on any lot except during
periods of approved construction on the lot or except pursuant to
a permit issued by the Police Chief. Said permit shall be issued only
to address special circumstances or emergency situations of sufficient
gravity to warrant a deviation from this general prohibition. This
prohibition of parking shall not apply to temporary parking of the
above-referenced vehicles limited for the pickup or delivery of materials
or goods or the delivery of other vehicles to the lot, including loading
and unloading of the vehicle.
C.
Non-Residential. All non-residential properties shall meet
the requirements herein.
1.
Parking requirements for uses not included in Appendix B shall be
determined by the Zoning Administrator on the basis of demand for
off-street parking estimated to be generated by the particular uses.

Required spaces are not intended for company owned fleet vehicles.
One (1) space shall be required for every vehicle customarily used

loading and unloading of the vehicle.

Parking On Unimproved Surfaces.
1.
No unattended motor vehicle, mobile home, camper, boat or trailer
shall be parked on an unimproved surface.
F.
Mixed Use. Notwithstanding any other requirements of this
Section, for property or developments containing a multiple tenants
or uses the minimum parking requirements of this Section may be reduced
by up to twenty-five percent (25%) upon a determination by the Zoning
Administrator that:
1.
The primary demand for parking by separate uses will be at different
times, and
2.
Shared use of available parking will be consistent with good planning
practices and will result in adequate parking for each use on the
property.
|
|
In making this determination, the Zoning Administrator may consider
the existing and proposed uses on the site, actual or anticipated
hours of operation and customary operational characteristics and parking
demands of such uses and such other circumstances as the Zoning Administrator
may deem pertinent. The Zoning Administrator may also consider standard
parking data of recognized professional organizations and any parking
studies submitted by the applicant which are based on the specific
circumstances of the site and the specific existing or proposed uses
for the property. When shared parking is allowed under the provision
of this Subsection, the Zoning Administrator may condition issuance
of any permit for a change of occupancy of any one (1) or more portions
of the site upon a determination that the proposed new use will not
change the underlying operational and parking demand characteristics
upon which the reduction was originally determined and that adequate
parking for the proposed and existing uses will still be provided.
If the Zoning Administrator determines a proposed change of use or
occupancy would result in inadequate parking, such proposed use or
occupancy may be prohibited until and unless sufficient parking is
provided on the site.
