The requirements for off-street parking established by this
chapter are intended to minimize traffic congestion and hazards to
motorists and pedestrians, to provide safe, attractive, and convenient
off-street parking facilities with vehicular access to all land uses,
to provide off-street parking in proportion to the needs generated
by varying land uses, to ensure access to projects by emergency response
vehicles, and to ensure that parking areas are compatible with the
surrounding land uses.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)
All approved land uses shall be designed and developed to provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by Section 19.26.030 (Parking space requirements by use type), and designed as required by Section 19.26.040 (Design and improvement of parking).
A.
Accessible Parking. Parking lots shall include the number of accessible parking spaces as required by Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. Accessible spaces count toward the total number of parking spaces required by Section 19.26.030. Accessible parking spaces shall be designed as provided in Section 19.26.040(A)(1)(a).
B.
Company Vehicles. In addition to the number of off-street parking spaces required by Section 19.26.030 (Parking space requirements by use type), nonresidential uses shall provide one parking space for each company vehicle that is parked on the site during normal business hours. These spaces may be located within a building.
C.
Bicycle Spaces. Bicycle parking, at a minimum, shall be provided
to comply with the California Building Code. Any bicycle space required
as part of the Transportation System Management Plan can be counted
to fulfill the requirements of this section.
D.
Clean Air Vehicle and Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Parking. Parking lots shall include the number of clean air parking spaces and EV charging station spaces as required by Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. Such spaces shall count towards the total number of parking spaces required by Section 19.26.030.
E.
Accessibility and Usability. All required off-street parking
spaces shall be designed, located, constructed and maintained so as
to be fully and independently usable and accessible at all times.
The usability of required parking spaces shall be maintained as follows:
1.
Required off-street parking spaces shall not be used for any purpose that at any time would prevent vehicles from parking in required parking spaces, except as permitted by Chapter 19.64 (Temporary Uses).
2.
Driveways
shall not be used for any purpose that would prevent vehicle access
to parking spaces, or inhibit circulation or emergency service response.
3.
All
required parking spaces must be available for use by tenants, customers
and visitors to the site at all times. Parking spaces shall not be
reserved for an individual tenant or customer, or be reserved for
a limited period of time.
4.
When
park and ride spaces are provided, such spaces may be counted towards
the required parking for the project site provided the peak use of
the project does not coincide with the park and ride reserved hours.
Typically park and ride spaces are reserved for park and ride uses
Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014; Ord. 6198 § 1, 2020)
The number of off-street parking spaces required for the land
uses identified by Article II (Regulations for the Principal and Special
Purpose Zones) shall be as provided by this section, except where
parking requirements are established by Article IV (Special Area and
Specific Use Requirements) for a particular use.
A.

B.
Special Parking Requirements. The number of parking spaces required for uses not specifically listed in subsection A shall be determined by the Planning Manager based on common functional, product or compatibility characteristics and activities, as provided for in Section 19.08.050 (Classification of uses not specifically listed).
1.
Uses Not Listed. The number of parking spaces required for uses not specifically listed in subsection A shall be determined by the Planning Manager based on common functional, product or compatibility characteristics and activities, as provided for in Section 19.08.050 (Classification of uses not specifically listed).
2.
New Buildings or Development Projects Without Known Tenants. If the type of tenants that will occupy a non-residential building
are not known at the time of the development entitlement or building
permit approval, the amount of parking to be provided shall be:
The minimum number of parking spaces required by subsection A for any land use allowed on the site by the applicable zoning, provided that the Planning Manager determines the proposed building as designed can reasonably accommodate such use, and provided further a zoning clearance certification is obtained to authorize the use.
3.
Mixed Use Projects. Where a project contains more than one major use classification (such as a residential and a commercial use), the amount of parking to be provided shall be the total of that required for each use, except as otherwise provided by subsection C (Adjustment to Number of Required Parking Spaces).
4.
Tenant Spaces with Multiple Functions. When a tenant has several functions, such as sales and office, the amount of parking to be provided for the tenant shall be calculated as specified by subsection A for the primary use, using the gross floor area of the tenant space.
5.
Tenant Spaces with Accessory Storage. When a tenant has enclosed accessory storage in excess of 2,000 square feet, the required parking for that portion of the tenant space dedicated to storage shall be calculated as specified by subsection (A)(5) for warehousing which is one parking space per 1,000 square feet of warehousing. The required parking for the remainder of the tenant space shall be calculated as specified in subsection A using the primary use.
6.
Changes in Use. When an existing use is enlarged, increased or intensified, or a new use having greater parking requirements than the previous use is proposed, the required number of parking spaces for the new use or existing, enlarged, increased or intensified use shall be calculated as specified by subsection A.
7.
Rounding Off. When the required number of parking spaces is
other than a whole number, the total number of spaces shall be rounded
to the nearest whole number (0.49 and below round down, 0.50 and above
round up).
8.
Commercial Centers. Commercial centers and building complexes shall provide parking which is the sum of all users within the commercial center or building complex as specified in subsection A, regardless of whether or not the parking is provided on a single or multiple parcels. Where parking is provided on multiple parcels, reciprocal parking and access agreements shall be recorded to provide equal use and access to parking for all users within the commercial center or building complex.
9.
Professional Office Uses. Professional office projects shall
calculate parking based on the net leasable square footage of the
proposed office building(s). Net square footage shall be 90 percent
of the total square footage of the proposed building(s). The net square
footage shall be determined at original building shell approval and
subsequent tenant improvements shall not be granted any additional
reduction for net square footage.
C.
Adjustment to Number of Required Parking Spaces. The number of parking spaces required by subsection A may be reduced as follows:
1.
Specific Plan Provisions. Provisions may be made in a specific
plan to allow reductions in the number of required parking spaces
based upon special provisions, such as providing golf cart or electric
car parking where special provisions are made for golf carts or electric
cars.
2.
Parking Reductions for Shared Parking. If an applicant believes the number of parking spaces required for their building complex as specified in subsection A (which is the sum of all the users within the building complex) is not applicable because the hours of operation of different tenants/uses within the building complex will effectively allow for dual use of the parking spaces then the applicant may request an Administrative Permit. The Approving Authority shall be the Planning Manager. The applicant shall have the burden of proof for requesting a reduction in the total number of required off-street parking spaces, and documentation shall be submitted substantiating this request. Shared parking reductions shall only be approved by the Approving Authority if:
a.
A sufficient number of spaces are provided to meet the greatest parking
demand of the participating uses;
b.
Satisfactory evidence is provided describing the nature of the uses
and the times when the uses operate so as to demonstrate the lack
of potential conflict between them;
c.
Overflow parking will not impact any adjacent use; and
d.
Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements
as may be deemed necessary by the Planning Manager are executed to
assure that the required parking spaces provided are maintained and
uses with similar hours and parking requirements as those uses sharing
the parking facilities remain for the life of the project.
3.
Parking Reductions for an Individual Use. If an applicant for a proposed use believes the number of parking spaces required for their use as specified in subsection A is not applicable because their use functions differently than the generic use type and associated parking standards established in this title, then the applicant may request an Administrative Permit. The Approving Authority shall be the Planning Manager. The applicant shall have the burden of proof for requesting a reduction in the total number of required off-street parking spaces, and documentation shall be submitted substantiating the request. Such documentation may include, but is not limited to: a parking study of another facility of the same use which is similar in size and operation, calculating the required parking spaces with field data of peak parking usage. Reduced parking shall only be approved by the Approving Authority if:
a.
Satisfactory evidence is provided describing the nature of the use,
the operation and data from other facilities or similar facilities
so as to demonstrate that the required parking standards are excessive
and the proposed parking standards are appropriate; and
b.
Overflow parking will not impact any adjacent use.
4.
Parking Reductions for Eating and Drinking Establishments. The Approving Authority for any application for a parking reduction by an eating and drinking establishment as defined in Section 19.08.090(L) shall be the Planning Commission.
D.
Downtown/Old Town Parking Requirements. All principally permitted
uses within the historic district (HD) and central business district
(CBD) zone districts, with the exception of community assembly, colleges
and universities, and new uses requiring and discretionary permit
shall be permitted in the HD and CBD zone districts without the need
to provide additional off-street parking.
Community assembly, college and university uses and new uses which require a discretionary permit, shall comply with the parking standards specified in subsection A, or request approval of a parking reduction or variance from the parking standards.

Vehicular Overhang. Vehicular overhang is permitted, provided no
vehicle shall overhang into a sidewalk which would reduce the unencumbered
width of a sidewalk to less than four feet. A vehicle is permitted
to overhang into a landscaped area by two feet, provided that the
required landscaped area is extended by two feet.
e.
Perimeter Landscaping. Where a parking lot is adjacent to a public
right-of-way, a landscape planter shall be established and continuously
maintained between the public right-of-way and the parking lot. The
minimum width of the landscape planter shall be determined by the
design guidelines or the applicable specific plan landscape guidelines.
In addition, all unused right-of-way between the public street and
the parking lot shall be landscaped and maintained by the property
owner.
f.
Bicycle Racks and Lockers. When bicycle spaces are required, a bicycle
rack or locker shall be installed. The bicycle rack shall be designed
to allow a bicycle to be secured to the rack. The location of the
bicycle rack or locker shall not encroach into the sidewalk which
would reduce the unencumbered width of the sidewalk to less than four
feet and shall provide adequate clearance surrounding the rack or
locker such that bicycles shall not encroach into any walkway, parking
space, landscape area or similar.
g.
Curb Stops. A permanent curb, bumper, wheel stop or similar device
at least six inches in height shall be installed adjacent to sidewalks,
planters and other landscaping areas, parking lot fixtures and buildings
and walls to protect these improvements from vehicular damage. The
stopping edge of such protected bumper shall be placed no closer than
two feet from the above noted improvement.
h.
Parking Space Design. All parking spaces shall be delineated and
separated by a painted divider (double stripe) as shown on the typical
stall illustration below. The stripes shall be a four-inch solid line
painted either white or yellow in color. The use of graphics or text
in or around the striping is prohibited. The striping shall be maintained
in a clear and visible manner.
 |
|
However, existing parking areas with single striping, which
require additional parking spaces or modified parking spaces due to
building expansion, parking lot restriping or reconfiguration may
maintain the single striping upon securing an Administrative Permit.
|
B.
Controlled Access Required. All parking spaces (including
garage spaces) required for any land use other than a single-family
or two-family dwelling shall be designed and located to provide for
vehicle maneuvering on the site so that vehicles will enter any adjacent
public right-of-way or private road in a forward direction.
C.
Location of Parking on a Single-Family Lot. Parking spaces may be located as needed on a site, provided that no required parking space shall be located within a front or street side setback required by Article II (Regulations for the Principal and Special Purpose Zones) except as provided in Chapter 19.60 (Accessory Dwelling Units), or other use types (community care facility, congregate residence and rooming and boarding house) according to Section 19.26.030. A driveway providing access to a street may be located within a front or street side setback.
D.
Surfacing of Parking Areas. Required parking and circulation
areas shall be surfaced with asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete,
or other approved all-weather, hard, non-eroding surface. It shall
be the responsibility of the property owner to insure that the surface
is maintained free from significant cracks or holes.
E.
Specialized Parking and Circulation. The standards of this
subsection apply to the design and construction of specialized parking
and on-site circulation facilities. Additional information regarding
stacking capacity for drive through facilities and other types of
uses with stacking, are contained in the community design guidelines.
1.
Drive-Through Facilities. The following requirements apply
to any use with drive-through facilities:
a.
Separation and Marking of Lanes. Drive-through aisles shall be a
minimum of 12 feet wide and shall be separated from other circulation
aisles necessary for ingress or egress, or aisles providing access
to any parking space. Each such aisle shall be striped, marked, or
otherwise distinctly delineated.
F.
Loading Requirements. Loading shall be provided as identified
below:
1.
No Maneuvering Within Public Rights-of-Way. All site designs
shall be designed so as to prevent truck back-up maneuvering within
the public right-of-way.
2.
Design. If a loading area is required, the location, number,
size and access of the loading area will be determined pursuant to
design review.
