Schedule A

This schedule sets forth minimum off-street parking requirements for uses with elements that have different functions and operating characteristics.

Function of Element	Requirement
Office or administration	1 space per 300 square feet
Indoor sales, display or service area	1 space per 500 square feet
Outdoor sales, display or service area	1 space per 2,000 square feet
Equipment servicing or manufacturing	1 space per 1,000 square feet
Indoor or outdoor storage or warehousing	1 space per 5,000 square feet

Schedule B

Specific requirements shall be determined by the Planning Director. Requirements shall be based on parking requirements for similar uses, location of proposed use, expected demand and traffic generated by the proposed use, and appropriate traffic engineering and planning criteria and information. Determination of requirements may be appealed to the Board of Adjustment.

§ 205-242 Adjustment for special use permits and mixed-use and planned unit development projects.

Special use permits.

Adjustment of parking amount. For uses subject to special use permit approval, the Planning Commission and City Council may adjust the minimum requirements of this article, in order to provide design, usability, attractiveness or protection to adjoining uses. Such adjustments may increase or decrease the amount of parking required by § 205-241; provided that such adjustment shall be based on parking requirements for similar uses, location of proposed use, expected demand and traffic generated by the proposed use, and appropriate traffic engineering and planning criteria and information. Further, any adjustments may be accompanied by an increase off-street parking design standards above the minimum requirements required by this article.

Use of on-street parking. The Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may approve a special use permit to authorize the use of on-street parking to meet the requirements of § 205-241.

In MU Mixed Use and PUD Planned Unit Development projects, different uses may have complementary parking requirements. This can result in a parking requirement that is less than the sum of parking required for each use and added separately. The Planning Director may authorize an adjustment to the total parking requirement for separate uses located as part of a common development, or for separate uses located on adjacent sites and served by common parking facilities. All parking facilities subject to such adjustment shall be located in a common facility, equally accessible, and usable to all served uses.

§ 205-243 Parking facility location.

Residential parking.

Off-street parking for residential uses shall be located on the same lot or site as the use.

Off-street parking areas for any multifamily residential uses shall not be located within a required front yard or street side yard.

Nonresidential parking. Off-street parking for nonresidential uses shall be located on the same lot or site as the use or within 600 feet of that use if the parking site is within a zoning district that permits the off-street parking use type, measured from the nearest property line to the nearest point of the off-street parking facility. Control of ownership or use rights to the remote off-street parking shall be demonstrated as a condition of permission.

Parking accessed from a public street. Any parking facility with angle or ninety-degree parking along and accessed directly from a public street may only be approved through issuance of a special use permit.

§ 205-244 Parking for people with disabilities.

Each off-street parking facility shall provide the number of parking spaces set forth below designed and designated for use by people with disabilities. Every eighth parking space shall be van-accessible. Design criteria and dimensions shall be in accordance with Federal Register, Volume 56, No 144. Parking facilities for single-family, duplex, two-family and mobile home residential uses are exempt from this requirement.

Spaces designated for people with disabilities shall have a minimum width of eight feet and an immediately adjacent access aisle of not less than 60 inches. Each handicapped space shall provide the shortest accessible route to an accessible building entrance, and shall not require users to walk or wheel behind parked cars. Such spaces shall be designated with an upright sign exhibiting the universal symbol for accessibility by the handicapped. All such spaces shall be designed in compliance with the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Van-accessible spaces. One in every eight accessible spaces, but not less than one, shall be served by an access aisle with a minimum width of 96 inches and shall be designated as "Van Accessible."

The location of bicycle parking facilities shall be at least as convenient to the main entrance of the principal use as the most convenient automobile parking not reserved for use by disabled people.

Bicycle parking should be located to prevent hazards or obstructions to the normal flow of pedestrians into a use.

§ 205-246 Off-street parking design standards.

Pavement and drainage.

Off-street parking facilities shall be hard-surfaced (asphalt or concrete) and maintained with materials sufficient to prevent mud, dust or loose material.

Off-street parking facilities shall be designed and built to prevent the free flow of water onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way.

Landscape and screening requirements. Landscape and screening requirements for parking facilities are set forth in § 205-233.

Entrances and exits.

Adequate access to each parking facility shall be provided by means of clearly defined and limited driveways or access points. Such driveways shall be designed to direct nonresidential traffic away from residential areas.

Parking facilities, other than driveways for single-family, duplex, two-family or mobile home residential uses, shall permit vehicles to enter streets in a forward position.

Safety features.

Parking facilities shall be designed to provide visibility of and between pedestrians and vehicles when circulating within or entering or leaving the facility and shall not create blind, hidden or hazardous areas.

Circulation patterns shall be designed in accord with accepted standards of traffic engineering and safety.
