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) Single-Family Detached and Two-family Dwellings. Off-street parking spaces required for dwelling units shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling unit served.
(b) Single-Family Attached Dwelling/Townhouses. One (1) of the two (2) required off-street parking spaces required for a dwelling unit shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling unit served.
(c) Multi-Family, High-Rise and Upper Floor Apartment Dwellings. All required off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same zoning lot and within 400 feet walking distance of the entrance to the building for which the parking spaces are intended to serve. Required guest parking in a multi-family development shall be equally distributed throughout the development.
(d) All Districts. All required off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same lot as the use served, unless otherwise stated in this Chapter. If the parking spaces required in Schedule 1153.04 cannot reasonably be provided on the same lot on which the principal use is conducted, the Planning and Zoning Commission may permit such spaces to be provided on other off-street property, provided that such spaces shall be within 400 feet walking distance, measured along the route of public access to the property, of a public entrance to such principal use and use of the off-street parking spaces are secured according to Section 1153.05
(b). (Ord. 2006-35. Passed 5-25-06.
(e) Access. All required off-street parking spaces shall have direct access to an aisle or driveway without the need to move any other vehicle, except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Chapter. Insofar as practical the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend more restrictive access drive location requirements than specified in Schedule 1153.11. Consultation with the City Engineer, and safety officials as well as review of traffic studies may be used to overrule Section 1137.06(a)(3).
(Ord. 2014-48. Passed 7-10-14.)
(f) Parking in Designated Areas Only. Any vehicle customarily or seasonally parked on any lot shall be so parked only in parking areas specifically constructed for such purposes, and shall not be parked on tree lawns, sidewalks, lawns or other areas required by this Code to be landscaped.
(g) Areas Computed as Parking Spaces. Areas that may be computed as open or enclosed off-street parking spaces include any private garage, carport or other area available for parking, other than a street or driveway, except as specifically permitted below:
(1) For a single family attached dwelling/townhouse or a two-family dwelling, a driveway in the front or side yard shall be permitted to compute as a eligible parking space up to a maximum of one (1) parking space per dwelling unit.
(2) In a multi-family development, any dwelling unit that has its own separate and individual private driveway shall be permitted to compute as eligible those parking spaces located in the private driveway, up to a maximum of two parking spaces per dwelling unit.
