[Ord. No. 111808 §1(400-600), 11-18-2008]
This Article requires the provision of adequate off-street parking
and loading facilities for each use of land within the City. Parking
space requirements are intended to be based on the demand created
by each use. These requirements shall apply to all new uses or additions
to existing uses in all districts. Plans showing the layout design
of all required off-street parking and loading areas for uses other
than single-family residences shall be submitted to the Building Inspector
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
[Ord. No. 111808 §1(400-601), 11-18-2008]
A.
Off-street
parking or loading spaces shall be a part of the required open space
associated with a permitted use and shall not be reduced or encroached
upon in any manner.
B.
The
area required for off-street parking, excluding necessary driveways,
shall be in addition to the yard areas herein required, except that
the front yard required in any commercial or industrial district may
be used for parking areas if a ten (10) foot landscaped median strip
is provided between the front property line and the parking area.
C.
Required
parking spaces and driveways shall be used solely for the purposes
of parking motor vehicles that are in operating condition and belong
to patrons, occupants or employees of such uses.
[Ord. No. 111808 §1(400-602), 11-18-2008; Ord. No. 03052018, 3-5-2018]
A.
In subdividing property, the subdivider shall give consideration
to dedicating suitable areas for schools, parks, playgrounds, fire
stations, libraries and other common areas for public use in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan. Areas to be dedicated shall be shown
on the preliminary and final plats.
B.
Since lands for recreation and educational purposes need to be acquired
in areas of expansion of the City, all subdividers shall be required
to dedicate appropriate land area within their subdivision or may
submit a cash donation in lieu of the dedication. In subdivisions
that are primarily residential in nature, the preferences shall be
for park land to be dedicated; in subdivisions that are primarily
commercial or industrial in nature, the preference shall be to obtain
a cash donation. The decision to accept either land or cash donation
shall be by recommendation of the Park Director to the Planning Commission.
A dedication of land shall be by plat and deeded to a homeowners'
association or the City of Peculiar, Missouri. The dedication shall
be a condition of approval of the final plat. A cash donation shall
be paid at the time a building permit is issued.
1.
Subdividers who dedicate open space for park land pursuant to
this Article shall dedicate park land in an amount consistent with
the recommendation of the National Recreation and Park Association
(NRPA) based upon the type of park facility needed at a particular
location and the development needs of a neighborhood or community
park, including, but not limited to, such amenities as play equipment,
athletic areas such as baseball/softball diamonds, soccer/football
fields, volleyball courts, hard surface areas such as tennis courts,
basketball courts, skateboard and in-line skating rinks, picnic areas,
walk/trail systems, restrooms, natural areas, open spaces and buffer
zones. Suggested facility development standards and recommended standards
for local developed open space, published by NRPA, combined with the
ratio of park size to population in the City of Peculiar, shall be
used to determine actual dedicated acreage requirements. For purposes
of determining population and determining the average number of occupants
per dwelling unit, the average household size for the City of Peculiar
as reported in the most recent decennial census of the average number
of persons expected to live in a dwelling unit within a single- or
multiple-family subdivision or development shall be multiplied times
the number of dwelling units proposed within a subdivision.
2.
When a cash donation is accepted in lieu of park land dedication,
such donation shall equal three hundred dollars ($300.00) per dwelling
unit and seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) per acre of commercial
and industrial land within the subdivision. All cash in lieu of property
shall be deposited in a special park acquisition and development fund
as established by the Board of Aldermen.
C.
The Park Director may reject proposed lands which are not suitable
for park use. The City will consider, but is not limited to, the following
criteria in determining whether the proposed dedication of land is
of sufficient size, character and quality:
1.
The area proposed for park land dedication may be located either
within or outside the boundary of the subdivision, but must either
be adjacent to an existing or proposed City park site or within the
same service area in which the subdivision is located. Park service
area is considered to be within one-half (1/2) mile of the subdivision
for which it is considered.
2.
The area proposed for park land dedication shall have characteristics,
such as topography, vegetation and geology and location, which make
it suitable for future inclusion into the City parks system.
3.
The area proposed for park land dedication may contain valuable
or sensitive environmental features, the preservation of which conforms
to the Comprehensive Plan.
4.
All lots within the subdivision for which the park land dedication
is considered shall have legal and convenient access to the park land
area.
5.
The area proposed for park land dedication shall have street
frontage of at least twenty percent (20%) of its perimeter.
6.
Sites should be dedicated in a condition ready for immediate
use with electrical, water, sewer and street access provided at the
right-of-way line.
[Ord. No. 111808 §1(400-603), 11-18-2008]
A.
All
off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same lot as the
principal use which they serve, except that when in an office, commercial
or industrial district a greater number of parking spaces are required
due to an enlargement, alteration or change of use, the required off-street
parking spaces may be located off site, provided they are located
within three hundred (300) feet of the principal use.
B.
Parking
spaces shall have direct access to a street or alley, except as otherwise
provided herein.
[Ord. No. 111808 §1(400-604), 11-18-2008]
A.
Notwithstanding
any other parking requirements provided in this code, when different
land uses occupy the same lot in a non-residential district, the total
number of off-street parking spaces required for each use may be combined
and shared as provided herein. A proposal for sharing off-street parking
shall be submitted to the City Planner for review. Special uses for
which shared parking is being proposed shall have shared parking approved
as part of the special permit.
B.
In
determining the total off-street parking requirement for shared parking
facilities, the following guidelines shall be followed:
1.
For each applicable general land use category, calculate the number
of spaces required for a use as if it were the only use, based upon
the parking requirements of this code;
2.
Use the figures for each individual land use to calculate the number
of spaces required for that land use for each time period specified
in the table;
3.
For each time period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable
land uses to obtain a grand total for each time period; then
4.
Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement
and use that as the total number of parking spaces required for the
site on a shared parking basis.
C.
Where
a use is not listed, the City Planner shall determine the appropriate
required parking for each time period.
