In addition to specific requirements contained in each district regulation, the location of off-street parking facilities shall further be regulated according to the following provisions.
(a) Residential Districts and Uses. Parking spaces required for dwelling units shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling unit served except in multi-family developments where non-enclosed parking spaces are not required to be on the same lot or Envelope Lot. (Ord. 2010-149. Passed 12-7-10.)
(b) Non-Residential Uses. Parking spaces required for purposes other than dwelling units shall be located within 400 feet of the use measured along lines of public access to the property and shall be located on the same lot as the use served, unless otherwise permitted according to subsection (c) hereof.
(c) Ownership of Lots. A lot shall not be used to provide the parking requirements for an institution, business, commercial or industrial use unless it is under the same ownership as the use to which it is accessory, or unless it is approved by the Planning Commission.
(1) Parking spaces at an off-site location, regardless of ownership, may be approved under the following conditions:
A. Pedestrian connections shall be provided to ensure safe, convenient walking between uses and parking, including safe, well-marked pedestrian crossings, signage, and adequate lighting.
B. Pedestrians shall not be required to cross a major street to access off-site parking facilities except at a signalized intersection along a clearly delineated pedestrian pathway.
(2) The allowance for parking spaces at an off-site location shall be restricted by an instrument of record describing the premises for which the parking is provided and assuring the retention of such parking so long as required by this Planning and Zoning Code.
(3) If the conditions for such off-site parking become null and void and/or the parking arrangement is discontinued, this will constitute a zoning violation for any use approved expressly with such agreement. The applicant or property owner must then provide written notification of the change to the Zoning Enforcement Official and, within 60 days of that notice, provide a remedy satisfactory to the Commission to provide adequate parking.
(d) No parking of a motor vehicle shall be permitted nor shall any person park a motor vehicle in a landscaped front, side or rear yard area and no motor vehicle shall be parked within twenty (20) feet of a public right-of-way, except in the D-B District. (Ord. 2020-21. Passed 2-18-20.)
