(A) Intent. The regulations of this section are designed to alleviate or prevent congestion of the public streets by establishing minimum requirements for off-street parking of motor vehicles, in accordance with the use on the property as specified in Table 7.4: Schedule of Parking Standards.
(B) General provisions.
(1) Parking spaces shall be located on the lot with the uses for which they are required. Exceptions are for off-site and shared parking.
(2) When the requirement spaces for an unspecified use is unclear, the number of parking spaces shall be determined by the Planning and Zoning Administrator on the basis of similar requirement, the number of persons served or employed, and the capability of adequately serving the visiting public. This determination may be appealed to the Plan Commission. A variance request from the requirement can be heard by the BZA, § 2.4.
(3) When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be expanded through the addition of dwelling units, floor area, beds, seating capacity or other unit of measurement, parking and loading facilities shall be provided for the increase in intensity of use.
(4) Whenever the existing use of a building, structure or premises shall hereafter be changed or converted to a new use permitted by this ordinance, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required for the new use.
(C) Layout and design.
(1) All off-street parking areas shall be constructed using a paved surface of concrete, asphalt, brick pavers, approved pervious concrete or pavers or the like. Single- and two-family dwellings in the SF, Single-Family District, on a minimum two acre parcel, and agricultural uses shall be permitted parking areas of gravel. All parking areas shall be clearly painted to show each parking space.
(2) All required parking spaces shall be designed to provide direct access for vehicles. In no case may parking areas which do not have direct access be considered a parking space meeting the requirement of this ordinance. Except in all single-family districts (SF, SF1, SF2, SF3, TR) and the Central Business District (CB), if a parked vehicle prevents direct access to a required parking space (double-stacked), it shall not be considered, nor count toward the required minimum parking.
(3) All parking areas for nonresidential uses shall be completely curbed. Complete curbing may not be required if, innovative drainage techniques or stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are
employed, and in the written opinion of Lebanon Utilities, the drainage system for the property and surrounding environment shall be best served if curbs were not present. Curbing must meet the general parking requirements of § 7.8(J)(1).

(6) Off-street parking spaces may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building. In any instance, when a building is constructed or used for parking facilities on the lot, the building shall be treated as any major structure and subject to all requirements thereof.
(7) Parking areas may be provided with a one story shelter building or guard building which shall not exceed 100 square feet of gross floor area and shall conform to all the structural requirements of the district.
(8) All parking lots shall be subject to the landscaping and screening requirements for parking lots as set forth in § 7.8.
(9) Any lighting facilities used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be so located, shielded and directed upon the parking area in a manner that they do not reflect or cause glare onto adjacent properties or interfere with street traffic. Refer to § 7.15 for standards.
(10) Trash and recycling dumpsters shall not be located in required parking spaces.
(11) All parking areas shall provide means of pedestrian circulation to the use and between the use and the street.
(12) Parking space size shall be a minimum of 180 square feet and dimensions shall conform to Table 7.1a: Parking Dimensions and Table 7.1b: Parking Dimensions. In no instance shall the overhang of a vehicle be considered as part of the required parking space area.

Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use the total as the mixed-use parking requirement.
