(A) Location. Off-street parking facilities shall be located as hereinafter specified.
(1) For all residential uses and for all nonresidential uses within residential zones, required parking shall be provided on the same parcel as the building.
(2) For all nonresidential uses in the C-1 zone, required parking spaces shall be provided within 300 feet of the building being served, measured along public rights-of-way from the nearest point of the parking facility to the nearest point of the building.
(a) Required parking may be provided off-site, on a lot or lots where there is a lease or shared parking agreement to accommodate parking, provided such arrangement is approved by the Planning Commission. Any lease or shared parking agreement shall include a provision that requires notification to the building official of any change in the terms or expiration. The building official may allow modifications to parking agreements where parking compliance is achieved in some other manner or a parking variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
(b) All off-street parking required to meet the standards of this article shall be provided within the same zoning district as the principal use and shall be within a convenient walking distance of the building entrances, as determined by the Planning Commission, except that valet parking may be provided elsewhere.
(B) Parking design. Wherever off-street parking is provided, it shall be laid out in accordance with the following table.
Parking Pattern (Degree) | Parking Maneuvering Lane Width Minimum | Parking Space Width | Space Length |
0 (parallel) | 12 ft. | 8 ft. | 23 ft. |
30 to 53 | 12 ft. | 8 ft. 6 in. | 18 ft. |
54 to 74 | 15 ft. | 8 ft. 6 in. | 18 ft. |
75 to 90 | 24 ft. | 9 ft. | 18 ft. |
(1) The location and design of entrances, exits, surfacing, landscaping, marking and lighting shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works to ensure adequate regulation to traffic safety and protection of the adjacent residential area.
(2) If parking spaces are adjacent to and accessed from a two-way parking maneuvering lane, the minimum width of the lane shall be 24 feet, regardless of the parking angle.
(3) Except for one- and two-family dwellings, all parking spaces shall be designed so ingress and egress to each space is unobstructed at all times. On properties with a one- or two-family dwelling, the parking spaces may be designed so a space is blocked by a vehicle occupying another space.
(4) All parking spaces and driveways shall be hard surfaced and drained. Permeable surfaces approved by the Director of Public Works may be used to satisfy this requirement.
