Any building, structure or use of land, when erected or enlarged, shall provide for off-street parking spaces for motor vehicles in accordance with the following provisions of this chapter. A parking plan shall be required for all uses. The parking plan shall be submitted to the City as part of the application for the building permit. The plan shall show the boundaries of the property, parking spaces, access driveways, circulation patterns, drainage and construction plans, boundary walls, fences and a screening plan, where appropriate.
Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this Code is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity or otherwise, to create a need for an increase of ten (10) percent or more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of this Code is enlarged to the extent of fifty (50) percent or more in floor area or in the area used, such building or use shall then comply with the parking requirements set forth herein.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
Off-street parking spaces shall be provided either in garages or parking facilities located on the premises intended to be served, or, if serving nonresidential uses permitted in residential districts, on the premises immediately adjoining the use requiring off-street parking. In the case of commercial or industrial uses, such spaces, if not located on the premises to be served, shall be within three hundred (300) feet of any part of such premises and in the same or a less restrictive district.
The following parking space requirements shall be regarded as minimum requirements for design purposes:
Dimensions (ft.) | ||||
Angle (Deg.) | ||||
Parking Spaces | 45 | 60 | 75 | 90 |
A Stall depth to wall* | 17.0 | 18.5 | 19.0 | 18.0 |

*For bumper overhang, deduct 1.5 ft. from stall depth to wall or 3 ft. from wall to wall for 45 degree and 60 degree parking. The equivalent dimensions for 75 degree and 90 degree parking are 2.0 ft. and 4.0 ft., respectively.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
In any COS, R-LD, R-MD, R-UD, R-TH, R-MHL, R-MHH and R-MHP District, no off-street parking spaces shall be located within any required front yard on any lot except on an approved driveway leading to a side or rear yard parking space. Such driveway and parking space shall be suitably paved so as to provide a durable and dustless surface of asphalt, concrete, brick or other surface approved by the Building Inspector. The areas of the driveway in a front yard shall not exceed one-third of the area of such yard, and the width of such driveway shall not exceed twenty feet measured at the front lot lines. Permitted front yard parking shall include motor vehicles as defined in Section 301.20 of the Traffic Code, except trucks, tractors, or any other commercially licensed vehicle over one-ton capacity which are prohibited from parking in the COS, R-LD, R-MD, R-UD, R-TH, R-MHL, R-MHH and R-MHP Districts.
(Ord. 99-275. Passed 12-6-99.)
In computing the number of parking spaces required by this Zoning Code, the following shall apply:
A. Where floor area is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, floor area shall be the sum of the gross leasable area of all floors of a non-residential building.
B. Where seating capacity is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, the capacity shall mean the number of seating units installed or indicated for each twenty (20) linear inches of seating units.
C. Fractional numbers shall be increased to the next higher whole number.
D. Parking space requirements for a use not specifically mentioned in this Zoning Code shall be determined by using the most similar and restrictive parking space requirement as determined by the Building Inspector.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
In the case of mixed uses, the required off-street parking spaces shall be the sum of the requirements for the separate uses. Off-street parking facilities for one use, however, shall not be considered as providing the required parking facilities for any other use, except that no more than fifty (50) percent of the off-street parking spaces required for a theater, bowling alley, dance hall, restaurant, tavern or night club may be supplied by off-street parking facilities provided for buildings or uses normally open and operated at other hours, such as financial institutions, business offices, retail businesses, personal services, manufacturing establishments and other similar uses. Not more than fifty (50) percent of the parking facilities required for the latter uses, as previously mentioned, may be supplied by such spaces provided for theaters, religious places of worship or other of the former uses, provided that a properly drawn legal instrument for the joint use of the off-street parking facilities is executed by the parties concerned, which instrument, duly approved as to form and manner of execution by the City Law Director, shall be filed with the application for a building permit.
