18.52.010   Purpose
   Off-street parking, loading and bicycle facilities are required for new uses and enlargements of existing uses, proportional to the need created by each use, in order to alleviate traffic congestion. Development regulations and design standards are intended to ensure the usefulness of parking, loading, and bicycle facilities, protect the public safety, and, where appropriate, to mitigate potential adverse impacts on adjacent land uses. The city establishes parking criteria to approximate an average peak demand condition.
