(A) No off-street parking shall be permitted between the established building setback and the public right-of-way.
(B) In recognition of the historic, compact character of buildings in the Old Montgomery District, as well as the less efficient use of the floor area of those buildings, the number of off-street parking spaces for each facility or use in the Old Montgomery District shall be determined according to the following:
(1) The number of off-street parking spaces shall be 50% of the standards set forth in § 151.3204.
(2) However, due to unique building and site characteristics that may be present in the Old Montgomery District and the Old Montgomery Gateway District, the Planning Commission and/or Council may approve a development plan with fewer parking spaces than 50% of the requirements set forth in § 151.3204. In order for the Planning Commission to consider a reduction of the required spaces, the applicant must demonstrate that such a reduction is warranted based on the following criteria.
(a) The character of the proposed use, the design of the building and the ability of the proposed use to reinforce the main street environment;
(b) The availability and accessibility of public parking spaces, both on-street and within public parking lots to meet the needs of the development;
(c) The availability of parking areas on adjacent sites, considering the hours of operation of the proposed use compared to adjacent uses to meet the needs of the development; and
(d) The potential negative impact to the character of the district if the requisite number of parking spaces is provided.

(A) Design Standards. Off-street parking areas for full size vehicles, which are motor vehicles 17 feet in length or longer, shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the following minimum dimensions set forth in Schedule 151.3210, based on the angle of the spaces. Figure 151.3210 illustrates the requirements for each angle scenario.
(B) Compact Care Design Standards. Up to 30% of the minimum required parking spaces may be designed for use by compact cars, which are motor vehicles smaller than 17 feet in length. Any reduction in the total parking area obtained as a result of using compact-sized spaces may be landscaped and will count towards the total required landscaping for the parking lot as specified in § 151.3408. Compact-sized parking spaces shall be located in one or more continuous areas and shall not be intermixed with spaces designed for full size cars. Compact-size spaces shall be labeled as "Compact Cars Only" and clearly marked with pavement marking. The minimum parking dimensions for full size and compact vehicles are set forth in Schedule 151.3210(A) and 151.3210(B) based on the angle of spaces.
