1234.09 PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

   A.   General Requirements. Off-street parking and associated driveways shall conform to the parking requirements set forth in Chapter 1251, except as modified herein. Where there is a conflict between a provision in this section and a provision in Chapter 1251, the requirements of this Chapter shall prevail.

   B.   Modified Parking Standards:

      1.   Required parking may be reduced to 60% of the minimum required in Chapter 1251 when the City Planning Commission determines that, based on credible evidence provided by the applicant, certain factors such as, but not limited to, availability of transit, mix of land uses and shared parking options are likely to result in lower off-street parking demand than indicated by the requirements in Chapter 1251.

      2.    The maximum amount of parking provided shall not exceed 100% of the standards contained in Chapter 1251. The maximum provision shall not apply to park-and-ride facilities or other parking provided as part of a transit facility.

   C.   Location of Off-Street Parking Spaces. Off-street surface parking shall not be located between the façade of a building and the primary street. Parking shall be located to the side or rear of a building, and no more than 50% of the lot frontage along the primary street shall be devoted to parking or drives.

   D.   Compact Parking Spaces. Compact spaces are permitted subject to the following:

      1.   A maximum of ten percent (10%) of the spaces in any parking facility may be designated and labeled as compact car spaces.

      2.    Compact car parking spaces shall be designated with a sign.

   E.   Bicycle Parking. Bicycle parking facilities shall be provided according to Section 1251.13. Bicycle parking facilities shall be located so as to not interfere with pedestrian movement. (Ord. 13-16. Passed 5-28-13.)
