(Ord. 15-10, 9-15-2015; amd. 2017 Code)

   B.   Shared Parking: Minimum or maximum effective parking in a development with two (2) or more distinct forms or functions shall be determined utilizing the appropriate shared parking factor in table 5 of this section.

      TABLE 5

      SHARED PARKING FACTOR

 

Function Combination	Residential	Lodging	Office	Retail
Residential	1	1.1	1.4	1.2
Lodging	1.1	1	1.7	1.3
Office	1.4	1.7	1	1.2
Retail	1.2	1.3	1.2	1

 

Shared Parking Calculation Example:

A 20,000 square foot mixed use building in the Z4 District has 10,000 square feet of office on the upper floor and 10,000 square feet of retail at street level. Follow the steps below to determine the amount of parking and subsequent efficiency resulting from sharing.

Step 1: Locate site's district and function from table 4, "Required Parking Table", of this section.

      TABLE 4

      REQUIRED PARKING TABLE

SITE: Z4 District with: 10,000 square feet of office and 10,000 square feet of retail.

Step 2: Calculate maximum parking for each function.

10,000/1,000 = 10. 10 x 4 = 40 spaces max. for office function.

10,000/1,000 = 10. 10 x 4 = 40 spaces max. for retail function.

40 + 40 = 80 spaces max. office and retail combined.

Step 3: Determine sharing factor by locating site's function(s) from table 5, "Shared Parking Factor", of this section.

   TABLE 5

   SHARED PARKING FACTOR

Step 4: Calculate effective maximum parking.

80 spaces/1.2(sharing factor multiplier) = 66.6 shared parking spaces

(80 - 66.6 = 13.4 spaces saved due to sharing)

   C.   Bicycles: For multi-family residential and all nonresidential forms and functions, bicycle racks or other form of bicycle storage shall be provided to accommodate at least one (1) bicycle for every twenty (20) parking spaces provided, up to a maximum of ten (10) bicycles.

   D.   Parking Surface: All parking shall be on an improved surface designed for the purpose of off street parking. The proposed surface shall be approved by the Administrative Officer, or by the Development Review Committee following the process outlined in chapter 7 of this title, as applicable. Parking on grass or lawn is not allowed unless it is on reinforced turf designed for parking and approved by the Administrative Officer.

   E.   Access: Parking stalls shall be accessed via internal drives and traffic aisles. Public right-of-way shall not be used for maneuvering into or out of off street parking spaces. This requirement shall not apply to downtown streets where public parking spaces are designated, or to alleys.

   F.   Landscaping: Off street parking areas shall meet the landscaping standards in section 12-16-5 of this title.

   G.   Deviation: During the site development plan compliance review process, the Development Review Committee, Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council, as applicable, may authorize a deviation of up to ten percent (10%) from the total minimum or maximum number of parking stalls required for the development. A denial of a request for a deviation under this section may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, according to chapter 5 of this title. Any deviation in excess of ten percent (10%) shall require approval of a variance by the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

   H.   Off Street Parking Dimensions:

      1. Motorcycle and scooter parking spaces, if provided: Width, four foot (4') minimum; length, eight foot (8') minimum.

      2. Vehicle parking space width: Nine foot (9') minimum.

      3. Vehicle parking space length: Eighteen foot (18') minimum to twenty foot (20') maximum.

      5. Width of one-way drive aisle serving greater than sixty degree (60°) parking spaces: Twenty four foot (24') minimum to twenty five foot (25') maximum.

      6. Width of one-way drive aisle serving less than sixty degree (60°) parking spaces: 15.5 foot minimum to 16.5 foot maximum. (Ord. 13-13, 4-2-2013; amd. 2017 Code)
