A.
Purpose And Intent.
1.
The purpose of this Section is to ensure that an adequate, safe and
convenient arrangement of pedestrian circulation facilities, roadways,
driveways, off-street parking and loading spaces are provided on every
site requiring site development plan approval. Such roads, pedestrian
walks and off-street parking and loading facilities shall be designed
as an integral part of an overall site design and shall be properly
related to existing and proposed buildings and appropriate landscaping.
Parking facilities shall be landscaped and screened to the extent
necessary to eliminate unsightliness and monotony of large concentrations
of parked cars. Parking facilities shall be designed with careful
regard to orderly arrangement, topography, landscaping, ease of access
and shall be developed as an integral part of an overall site design.
Any above ground loading facility shall be screened from public view
to the extent necessary to eliminate unsightliness.
2.
It is not the intent of this Section to allow an increase in the
size of an existing building due to the adoption of the revised schedule
of parking included herein when the application of this revised schedule
would reduce the amount of required parking to such an extent that
a larger building would be allowed. Any increase in the size of buildings
after the effective date of this Chapter must be in conformance with
revised floor area ratio provisions and all other zoning ordinance
requirements.
B.
Procedure. Every site development plan application for the construction or improvement of a parking and/or loading facility shall include therewith, as specified further in Section 405.540, a concept landscape plan, drawn to scale, showing any off-street parking or loading facilities and related site improvements and landscaping.
C.
Decreased Parking Demand. When a building, structure or
site undergoes a decrease in the number of dwelling units, floor area,
seating capacity or other unit of measurement specified hereinafter
as a means for determining required off-street parking and loading
facilities or when the application of the standards herein would result
in a requirement for fewer total off-street parking and/or loading
spaces than are provided on the subject site, the available off-street
parking and/or loading facilities may be so reduced accordingly; provided
that existing off-street parking and loading remaining would equal
or exceed the off-street parking and loading requirements resulting
from application of the provisions of these standards to the entire
building, structure or site as modified.
D.
Increased Parking Demand. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 405.610(E) when any building, structure or site undergoes a change of use or any increase in the number of dwelling units, floor area, seating capacity or other unit of measurement specified hereinafter as a means for determining required off-street parking or loading facilities and when such a change or increase would, through application of the provisions of these standards thereto, result in a requirement for greater total off-street parking and/or loading spaces, such off-street parking and/or loading facilities shall be increased to equal or exceed the off-street parking and loading requirements resulting from application of the provisions of these standards to the entire building, structure or site as modified in use or capacity.
[R.O. 2008 §26-91; Ord. No. 1903 §1, 11-24-1997; Ord. No. 1926 §1, 3-12-1998]
A.
Prohibition Of Large Commercial Vehicles On Residential Parking Facilities. Facilities accessory to a residential use which are developed in
any residential district in accordance with the requirements of this
Article shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles
or commercial vehicles of not more than five (5) tons gross weight
owned by occupants of the dwelling structures to which such facilities
are accessory or by guests or tenants of such occupants or owners.
B.
Prohibition Of Repair, Service Or Sales Use Of Parking Facilities. No required off-street parking or loading facilities shall be utilized
for motor vehicle repair work, service, display or sales of any kind,
except as expressly permitted elsewhere in this Chapter.
C.
Prohibition Of Use Of Required Parking As Commercial Or Public Lot. No area designated as a required parking area in connection with
any designated building, structure, site or use shall be operated
as a commercial or public parking facility providing parking spaces
for the general public.
D.
Entries And Exits. All entrances and exits to parking and loading areas from a public right-of-way shall be subject to specific approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission by site development plan approval in accordance with Section 405.1080 in order to ensure the smooth and safe circulation of vehicles to and from the public street system. The number of entrances and exits shall be limited to one (1) entrance and one (1) exit or one (1) combined entrance and exit per three hundred (300) linear feet of street frontage unless additional entrances and/or exits are deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Except for single-family residential dwellings and duplexes, all parking access shall be designed to prevent the need to back directly onto a public road or right-of-way.
E.
Location Of Parking Or Loading Space. All required off-street
parking or loading spaces shall be provided on the same parcel of
land occupied by the use or building to which it is appurtenant; provided
however, that where there are, in the judgment of the Planning and
Zoning Commission, practical difficulties in satisfying the requirement
for parking space and/or if the public safety or convenience would
be better served by another location, the Planning and Zoning Commission
may authorize an alternative location for any portion of the required
parking for a non-residential use which will adequately serve the
public interest, subject to the following conditions:
1.
Required accessory off-street parking facilities may be provided
elsewhere than on the lot on which the principal use served is located
and shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total parking required,
provided that the property occupied as parking is in the same possession,
either by deed, by easement or by long-term lease which has a term
equal to or exceeding the projected life of the facility occupied
by the principal use and, further provided, that the owner shall be
bound by covenants filed on record in the office of the County Recorder
of Deeds requiring the owner and his/her or her heirs and assigns,
as well as subsequent owners, heirs or assigns, to maintain the required
number of off-street parking spaces during the existence of such principal
use.
2.
Accessory off-street parking shall be available within a walking
distance of not more than five hundred (500) feet measured from the
nearest property line of the premises to the nearest part of the accessory
parking area.
3.
Such separated parking space shall be usable without causing unreasonable
traffic congestion, detriment to any residential neighborhood or hazard
to pedestrians or vehicular traffic.
F.
Zoning Of Accessory Parking Areas. All accessory off-site
parking facilities, whether provided in fulfillment of or in excess
of the requirements of this Article and whether located on the same
or on a different lot from the principal use as provided in the preceding
paragraph, shall be located on non-residentially zoned property (non-residential
zoning districts do not include the "A", "B", "C", "D", "AR" or "MR"
Districts).
G.
Joint Parking Facilities. Off-street parking facilities
for different buildings, structures or uses or for mixed uses may
be provided and used collectively or jointly in any zoning district
in which separate off-street parking facilities for each constituent
use would be permitted, subject to the following provisions:
1.
The total number of spaces so located together is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use except as provided by Subsections (G)(3) and (G)(4) and Section 405.820(H)(6)(b).
2.
A legally sufficient written agreement assuring the perpetual joint
usage of said common parking for the combination of uses or buildings
is properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved
as to form and execution by the City Attorney and filed with and made
part of the application for a building permit.
3.
Up to fifty percent (50%) of the parking spaces required for a theater (unless the theater's required parking spaces are based on the provisions of Section 405.820(H)(6)(b) or other place of evening entertainment for a church or for multi-family dwelling units may be provided and used jointly by banks, offices, retail stores, repair shops, service establishments and similar uses not normally open, used or operated during evening hours if specifically approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission; and provided however, that written agreement assuring the retention for such purpose shall be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved as to form and execution by the City Attorney and shall be filed and made part of the application for a building permit. Such approval may, with fifteen (15) days prior written notice, be rescinded by the City Council and additional parking shall be obtained by the owners in the event that the City Council determines that such joint use is resulting in a public nuisance or is otherwise adversely affecting the public health, safety or welfare.
4.
Land uses which do not meet the criteria of Subsection (G)(3) above but which can clearly demonstrate the ability to successfully provide joint parking facilities to the satisfaction of the Planning and Zoning Commission may be permitted to share up to fifty percent (50%) of their required parking spaces, provided that written agreement assuring the retention for such purpose shall be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved as to form and execution by the City Attorney and shall be filed and made part of the application for a building permit. Such approval may, with fifteen (15) days' prior written notice, be rescinded by the City Council and additional parking shall be obtained by the owners in the event that the City Council determines that such joint use is resulting in a public nuisance or is otherwise adversely affecting the public health, safety or welfare.
H.
Variance In The Required Number Of Parking And Loading Spaces. The number of parking and loading spaces to be constructed may be
less than the number of spaces required herein in the event that the
following conditions are met to the satisfaction of the Planning and
Zoning Commission:
1.
Evidence is submitted firmly documenting that the special nature
of the use, activity or building proposed requires less parking area
or spaces than required by this Chapter for the same.
2.
The site development plan submitted to and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with Section 405.810 or Section 405.1080 indicates that the location and layout of that portion of the parking requirement deemed unnecessary can and will be constructed accordingly on the surface of the site in the event that the Planning and Zoning Commission determines at any time that all or any portion of this parking is necessary.
In no event shall any portion of the required parking or loading
that is so designated for future construction as provided herein be
counted as open space or other non-paved area required by other provisions
of this Chapter.
3.
The owner shall initiate construction of the approved "future" parking
area(s), as identified on the approved site development plan, within
three (3) months of the date of the first (1st) letter sent to the
owner of record from the Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson,
identifying that such parking is determined to be necessary.

fence, evergreen planting of equivalent visual density or other effective
means. Such fence or berm and associated landscaping shall be a minimum
of eighteen (18) inches in height and an average of three (3) feet
in height at the time of planting. Screening shall be a minimum of
six (6) feet in height between the parking lot and any other abutting
residential property line. The Planning and Zoning Commission may
require greater screening requirements for parking of large trucks,
the screening of large equipment and utility structures and for screening
overhead doors and truck loading areas and docks.
(1)
All fencing shall be placed on the property line adjacent to
the properties being screened and shall not project over the base
setback line or side or rear property line. Planted fences shall be
placed in back of the aforereferenced lines at places where natural
growth will not extend to or be maintained at these lines.
(2)
Variances in base setback screening height or landscaping and
screening placement as determined by ingress and egress will be consistent
with safe sight distance for passing traffic and be compatible with
adjoining property screening and landscaping.
6.
Signs. Parking direction and regulation signs may be provided in accordance with Section 405.950(H) showing the ownership of any parking facility and the permitted use thereof. If the lot is so operated that a charge is made for the use of the parking facilities, the rates for parking shall be legibly shown upon the parking regulation sign.
7.
Attendant shelter. A shelter for the use of a parking
facility attendant may be maintained on the lot provided the location,
construction and design of same shall be first approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
8.
Maintenance. Any person operating or owning a parking
facility shall keep it free, as may be practical, of dust and loose
particles and shall promptly remove the snow and ice from the surface

any other methods used to indicate direction of traffic movement and
location of parking spaces shall be maintained in a neat and legible
condition. Likewise any walls, landscaping including trees and shrubbery,
as well as surfacing and curbing of the parking facility, shall be
maintained in good condition throughout its use for parking purposes
and the City Council shall have the authority to prohibit the use
of the area for parking purposes, after fifteen (15) days' written
notice, unless and until proper maintenance, repair or rehabilitation
is completed including the replacement of any landscaping material
which may die from time to time or the failure of the landscape irrigation
or surface drainage system within the parking area.

of required off-street parking spaces, the following rules shall apply:
1.
"Floor area" shall mean the gross floor area of
the entire building of the specific use, excluding any floor or portion
thereof used for parking. For office developments (including general
offices, banks and savings and loans and other finance-related services
and medical and dental offices), the gross leasable floor area shall
be interpreted as eighty-five percent (85%) of the gross floor area
of the entire building.
2.
Where fractional spaces result, the parking spaces required shall
be the next greater whole number.
3.
In the case of mixed uses, (that include office and residential), the parking spaces required shall be computed separately for each use except as provided in Sections 405.800(G)(3 — 4) and 405.820(H)(6)(b).
4.
All required parking shall be available at all times for the use
for which the parking is required except as specifically provided
by this Article.
5.
In the case of bench seating, such as pews in a place of worship,
twenty-four (24) lineal inches of bench seating shall equate to one
(1) seat.
6.
For residential uses, off-street parking requirements can be met
through the use of a garage and/or paved parking spaces located outside
of any right-of-way.
7.
If a specific land use is not included in the list of uses for
which parking space requirements are specifically listed, then the
required parking for that use shall be determined by using the required
parking for the most similar use that is specifically listed.
