§ 151.231  OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING.
   (A)   Intent.  To maintain the public health, safety and welfare, it is necessary to establish standards regulating off street parking and loading, pedestrian movement, screening, landscaping and lighting for the enhancement of the community.  The regulations of this section are designed to alleviate congestion of the public streets by establishing minimum requirements for the off-street parking and loading/unloading of motor vehicles in accordance with uses permitted under this chapter.
   (B)   General provisions.
      (1)   Scope of regulations.  Off-street parking and loading provisions of this section shall apply as follows:
         (a)   For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of this chapter, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations herein.
         (b)   Whenever the existing use of a building or structure is changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use.
         (c)   Accessory off-street parking facilities required herein shall not be used for the storage, display, sale, repair, dismantling or wrecking of any vehicles, equipment or material. Parking of commercial vehicles as defined in this ordinance is prohibited in residential zones.
         (d)   Accessory off-street parking and loading spaces shall be provided on the same zoning lot as the use served except as otherwise provided in this chapter.  Adequate area shall be provided to permit any maneuvering necessary to reach off-street parking and loading areas.
         (e)   Within the Central Business District (CBD), regulations pertaining to off-street parking shall not apply to commercial buildings in existence at the time of adoption of this chapter.  No off-street parking is required for nonresidential uses in the CBD unless such uses exceed 3,000 square feet of gross floor area, in which case off-street parking must be provided for the floor area in excess of 3,000 square feet. Up to 25% of the number of public parking spaces within 400 feet of a proposed building in the CBD may be counted toward the required number of spaces. These regulations are intended to provide flexibility in site development while ensuring adequate parking for the Main Street and Jackson Boulevard corridors as a whole (as amended per Ordinance No. 4542 dated December 4, 2000; as amended per Ordinance No. 4985 on September 22, 2006).
      (2)   Plan review.
         (a)   Any off-street parking lots, parking structures or loading areas required under this chapter shall be required to submit a plan to the Planning and Zoning Office for review and approval of applicable regulations.  The plan shall show the following:
            1.   Total number of parking spaces provided, existing and proposed; and total required by ordinance;
            2.   Parking aisles;
            3.   Vehicle circulation;
            4.   Entrances and exits;
            5.   Sidewalks and pedestrian circulation;
            6.   Signage;
            7.   Lighting;
            8.   Storm water retention areas;
            9.   Landscaping islands; and
            10.   Landscape and buffer areas.
         (b)   All elements shall be dimensioned on the plan and distances from property lines and structures shall be noted.
   (C)   Regulations and requirements.
      (1)   All open off-street parking areas for 4 or more vehicles shall be screened by a solid fence, wall, densely planted evergreen screen, earthen berm, or a combination thereof to the following height:
         (a)   A minimum of 4 feet if abutting or directly across an alley from either a residential district or a residential use if the development containing the parking area requires a development plan; or
         (b)   Two and one-half feet if across the street from either a residential district or a residential use if the development containing the parking area requires a development plan.
      (2)   Number of off-street parking spaces.
         (a)   Except as otherwise noted in this section, the number of off-street parking spaces for each new principal use shall be provided in accordance with division (D).
         (b)   The parking lot requirements for a use not specifically  listed in the chart shall be the same as for a listed use of similar characteristics of parking demand generation as determined by the Planning and Zoning Office.
         (c)   For the purpose of determining off-street parking requirements, gross floor area shall be calculated as the sum of the gross horizontal area of the several floors of a building or buildings, including if habitable the horizontal areas of the basement.  Basement space used solely for storage or utility shall be exempt.
         (d)   When computing the number of parking spaces, any number fraction or portion thereof, shall be rounded up to the next highest number.
         (e)   A maximum of 130% of the required number of parking spaces per division (D), may be provided (rounded down to the nearest whole number). Each 10% increase in the number of parking spaces shall require an additional one percent in the interior parking lot landscaping provisions provided in this section of the Zoning Ordinance.  Provision of more than 130% of the requirement will require a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
         (f)   In determining the number of parking spaces required for a business, industry or institution or any other concern which encompasses a number of different, yet related activities, the planning staff may determine the total number of parking spaces required by adding the amount of spaces required for each specific activity as listed in division (D).
         (g)   In off-street parking areas with greater than 25 automobile parking spaces, bicycle parking spaces may be substituted for automobile parking spaces at the rate of 10 bicycle spaces per 1 off-street parking space, up to 4% of the total number of required automobile parking spaces with a maximum of 10 automobile spaces replaced with bicycle parking.
      (3)   Location of parking facilities.
         (a)   The off-street parking areas required for residential buildings or uses shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served.  The parking requirements for 1- and 2-family residential uses shall be accommodated in paved (concrete, asphalt, concrete and brick pavers and other approved materials) driveways which may be located in the front, side or rear yard but may not occupy more than 50% of any yard.  Off-street parking areas located in the R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-5 residential zoning districts shall not be located in the front yard.  This requirement shall not include paved driveways leading to an attached and/or detached garages or to rear yard parking areas.
         (b)   Two or more owners of buildings may join together in providing the required off-street parking spaces per division (D).
         (c)   Off-street parking areas may be located on any part of a lot, unless otherwise specified herein or within the zoning district development conditions.  Parking spaces shall not be located in any required greenbelt or buffer yard area.
      (4)   Joint parking facilities.
         (a)   Joint use of up to 50% of required parking areas may be permitted for 2 or more uses located on the same or adjacent parcels provided that the developer or owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the planning staff that the uses will not overlap in hours of operation or in demand for shared spaces.  The owners of all parcels used for or making use of shared parking areas shall execute and a record a commitment stating that the uses will not overlap in hours of operation or in demand for shared spaces.  The commitment shall be binding on future owners of the property(s) and shall be enforceable by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
         (b)   Shared parking areas shall be located not more than 300 feet from the uses they are intended to serve and shall be connected to that use by a defined pedestrian walkway.
         (c)   Any subsequent change in land uses among the shared parking users shall require adequate parking as defined in division (D).
      (5)   Reduction of spaces/land banking.
         (a)   For development in any zoning district, the planning and zoning staff may approve a total reduction of not more than 30% of the required off-street parking spaces where it has been demonstrated by study of the proposed use(s) and the customary operation of the use(s) that adequate parking would be provided.
         (b)   When such a reduction is approved, an area of sufficient size to include the number of parking spaces necessary to meet the minimum requirements stated herein shall be designated on the site plan and no structure or paved surface shall be permitted within such designated area.  The area shall not be included in any required buffer yards.  The areas shall be reserved to accommodate additional parking so as to meet the otherwise applicable minimum requirements.  In the event additional parking is required, a site plan shall be submitted to the staff for approval.  The additional parking shall be constructed within 4 months thereafter.
      (6)   Access.  Driveway entrances and exits to parking lots shall be located as far away from street intersections as possible to prevent impeding the flow of traffic in the parking lot and prevent hazards in the street.  Entrances shall be designed to allow vehicles entering the site to be stacked to prevent backup on the adjacent street.  Parking lot entrances and exits shall be consolidated when possible to limit the number of access points to the site.  In instances where parking areas are 100 feet or more wide, the parking lot entrance shall be a minimum of 50 feet from the nearest existing access drive.
      (7)   Parking lot design.
         (a)   All off-street parking areas, driveways, loading areas and maneuvering access thereto and outdoor display areas shall be surfaced with an a11-weather, dustless, impervious, hard-surface pavement, including drainage which shall meet city specifications as prescribed by the  Board of Public Works.  This surface shall be maintained in good condition and free of weeds, dirt, trash and debris.
         (b)   All parking areas and drives for commercial, manufacturing, institutional and residential uses shall be paved with concrete, asphalt or decorative concrete, brick or asphalt pavers.
         (c)   1.   In all “M” zoning districts, storage yards for construction equipment, raw materials, or partially or fully finished product, may be surfaced with gravel or slag when located in a rear yard.
            2.   The storage yard shall be properly graded and maintained to insure proper drainage and shall be kept free of weeds, trash and other debris.
         (d)   Required parking spaces for all uses shall be at least 162 square feet in size, exclusive of access drives or aisles and have a minimum width of 9 feet and a minimum length of 18 feet, except parallel parking spaces which shall have a minimum length of 22 feet.
