a. General Parking Options:
1. Land area(s) for parking shall be reserved in accordance with the following minimum parking requirements within a SUD. The Dyer Plan Commission, in its discretion, may not require the immediate construction of all of a parking area. The following requirements do not necessarily apply if a Shared Parking option is elected. Parking spaces shall be constructed in accordance with Section 10-132.
(a) Civic. Minimum one (1) parking space per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross building square footage,
(b) Residential.
(1) Three fourths (¾) parking spaces per sleeping room for single family (minimum one (1) space required) all fractions greater than one half (½) equal one (1) space.
(2) One (1) parking space per sleeping room for multi family and lodging.
(c) Restaurants, specialty and private food service, social and health clubs. Minimum one (1) space per two hundred and fifty (250) square feet of seating and/or counter area.
(d) All other uses. Minimum one (1) parking space per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area, all fractions greater than one half (½) equal one (1) space.
2. On street Parking. Generally, continuous head-in or parallel parking shall be provided along streets in Type II. Parallel parking is permitted along all other streets except Hwy. 30 and where a town ordinance specifies otherwise.
3. Parking Space Allocation. For other than shared parking, parking spaces may be considered allocated to a particular lot, or use, if those spaces are entirely on that lot or the use of the spaces has been assured by assignment through easement or other legal guaranty. Street side parking may be allocated to a particular lot when a particular streetside space abuts a particular lot. Where streetside spaces abut more than one (1) lot, a particular parking space may be allocated to a particular lot only if more than sixty six percent (66%) of the space abuts that lot or the space use has been assured by assignment.
4. Location and Screening of Parking Lots. Parking lots and areas shall be located at the side or rear of buildings and are prohibited from being located in front yards and on either corner of a corner lot. All parking lots or areas shall be screened to help minimize their view from the street.
(a) Parking lots or parking structures independent of a primary use, shall not be located at street intersections.
(b) Parking lots shall be screened from the sidewalk by walls, fences or solid landscaping six (6) feet in height. All screening must be approved by the Plan Commission. Where parking lots associated with a primary use are located at street intersections the screening requirement shall comply with Section 10-130d.1. in terms of its height.
(c) Adjacent parking lots shall have vehicular and pedestrian connections.
5. Parking Garage Requirements. Parking garages or structures built for the purpose of storing four (4) or more vehicles shall be buffered at street level by a commercial use to mitigate potentially detrimental affects to street quality that such structures might otherwise cause. Parking structures at sidewalks shall be fronted by Type II building uses. Automobile entry/exit shall not exceed thirty (30) feet in width.
6. Ingress/Egress Service Roads. No parking is permitted on ingress/egress service roads unless the ingress/egress service road is constructed to additional width and approved by the Plan Commission for such use.
7. Garages or carports are allowed only in Type I and shall be located a minimum of twenty (20) feet behind the street facade of the building.
