Off-street parking regulations are established to achieve, among others, the following:
(a) To relieve congestion so streets can be utilized more fully for movement of vehicular traffic;
(b) To promote the safety and convenience of pedestrians and shoppers by separating parking areas and extensive car movements in the vicinity of pedestrian ways;
(c) To protect adjoining residential neighborhoods from on-street parking; and
(d) To promote the general convenience, welfare and prosperity of residential, business, service and manufacturing developments which depend on off-street parking facilities.
(Ord. 58-01. Passed 5-29-01.)
(a) Accessory off-street parking facilities, including access driveways, shall be provided prior to the occupancy of such building or use. Facilities shall be provided for the entire building or use in accordance with the regulations contained in this chapter whenever:
(1) A building is constructed or a new use is established.
(2) The use of an existing building is changed to a use requiring more parking facilities.
(3) An existing building is altered and there is an increase in the seating capacity, floor area of the building, number of dwelling units or number of employees.
(b) Existing off-street parking facilities that are required by this Planning and Zoning Code shall continue unobstructed in operation and shall not be reduced to be less than required by these regulations.
(Ord. 58-01. Passed 5-29-01.)
In computing the number of parking spaces required by this Planning and Zoning Code the following rules shall apply:
(a) Floor Area. Where floor area is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, gross floor area shall be used.
(b) Seats. Where seating capacity is the standard for determining parking space requirements, the capacity shall mean the number of seating units installed or indicated, or one seat for each 24 lineal inches of benches or pews. When fixed seating is not indicated, the capacity shall be determined as being one seat for each 20 square feet of floor area of the assembly room.
(c) Employees. Where employees are the standard for determining parking space requirements, employees shall mean the maximum number of employees on any two successive shifts.
(d) Fractional Numbers. Where the computation results in a fractional unit the number shall be increased to the next whole number.
(e) Parking for Mixed Uses. A building or group of buildings containing two or more uses, operating normally during the same hours, and which have different off-street parking requirements, may jointly provide spaces for not less than the sum of the spaces required for each use.
