   (A)   Applicability.

      (1)   This section applies to all uses and structures in all zoning districts, except as provided below.

      (2)   The minimum requirements of this section do not apply to the Urban Core (UC) district. However, the maximum requirements of this section do apply.

   (B)   Residential parking. Parking spaces for household living use types or specified building types that are located in private garages, carports, or individual driveways do not have to be marked. An area on a private residential lot is considered a parking space if:

      (1)   Dimensions. The area is at least 9.5 feet wide and 20 feet deep in dimension and is not part of an access drive to a private garage or carport;

      (2)   Encroachment. The area does not encroach upon a public sidewalk;

      (3)   Surface. The area has an improved hard surface as required in § 156.E.003(B), Surfacing and Drainage; and

      (4)   Access. The area is accessible from the street or alley.

   (C)   Minimum and maximum spaces. Off-street parking spaces must be provided for the uses listed in Table 156.E.004, Minimum and Maximum Parking, below. The uses must provide the minimum number of off-street parking spaces, and parking spaces may not exceed the maximum number of spaces.

   (D)   Multiple activities. Except as otherwise provided, where multiple activities associated with a single-use take place on-site, the required parking shall include a combination of the site's activities. For example, a truck stop is required to provide parking based on applicable retail sales area, car wash, overnight accommodations, and any other applicable activities.

Notes: 1   In addition to the required and maximum for the primary use.

 

   (F)   Special studies.

      (1)   Generally.

         (a)   Some of the uses listed in Table 156.E.004-1, Minimum and Maximum Parking, have widely varying parking demand characteristics. Accordingly, their parking requirements are listed as "Special Study." Required parking for these uses are established according to the standards of this section.

         (b)   Special studies may also be submitted to support a request to reduce the number of required parking spaces to less than that set out in Table 156.E.004-1, due to the nature of the operations and/or location of a proposed use. The special study must include and support all requested reductions in parking. Further parking credits and reductions that are otherwise available pursuant to § 156.E.006, Parking Credits and Reductions, may not be applied when parking reductions are granted pursuant to this section, unless the reductions are supported by the special study.

      (2)   Special study requirements.

         (a)   A special study must be conducted by a qualified transportation planner or traffic engineer at the applicant's expense.

         (b)   The special study must provide:

            1.   A peak parking analysis of at least five functionally comparable uses; and

            2.   Documentation regarding the comparability of the referenced uses, including: name, function, location, gross floor area, parking availability, access to transportation network (including vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit), use restrictions, and other factors that could affect the parking demand.

      (3)   Approval of special study.

         (a)   The Zoning Administrator may rely upon the special study or may request additional information or analysis, including, but not limited to: alternative or new data points, or consideration of additional or alternative factors related to comparability or peak demand, as supported by sound engineering principles.

         (b)   As a condition of approval of a special study, the Zoning Administrator may require that land be reserved as an undeveloped area for additional future parking if there is a demonstrably high probability the use could change, resulting in a higher demand for parking.

   (G)   Unlisted uses. Upon receiving a development application for a use not specifically addressed in this article, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the off-street parking standard specified for the use that the Zoning Administrator deems most similar to the proposed use according to § 156.C.010, New and Unlisted Uses, or require that the applicant provide a special study according to division (F), Special Studies, above.
