New parking lots and modifications or expansions to existing parking lots require the following entitlements:
A. Building Permit. New parking lot design and modifications to existing parking lots in conjunction with a substantial change in use to an existing structure shall be reviewed in conjunction with the building permit and any other land use or development permit.
B. Plan Check. Modification or improvements to an existing parking lot that impact the parking space layout, configuration, vehicular or pedestrian circulation, number of stalls or landscape planters shall require a site plan, drawn to scale, to authorize the change as consistent with the Zoning Code.
C. Exempt Activities. Parking lot improvements listed below shall be considered minor in nature if they do not alter the number or configuration of parking stalls and therefore exempt from plan check requirements located in Section 17.12.030 (Plan Check). However, exempt activities listed herein may require other ministerial permits (e.g., building permit, grading permit).
1. Repair of any defects in the surface of the parking area, including repairs of holes and cracks;
2. Resurfacing, slurry coating, and restriping of a parking area with identical delineation of parking spaces;
3. Repair or replacement in the same location of damaged planters and curbs; and
4. Work in landscape areas, including sprinkler line repair, or replacement of landscape materials. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
