§ 152.146 BUILDING PERMITS.

   No building permit for new structures shall be granted unless the minimum parking and minimum loading requirements as set forth in § 152.145 are met and provided for in the plan or plans and specifications for the construction of the structure for which the building permit is applied. The Council may require additional parking and loading space requirements if the minimum parking and loading requirements set forth are insufficient for the structure for which the building permit is applied for and may require that the plan or plans and specifications for each new structure provide for the additional off-street parking or loading requirements in addition to the minimum off-street parking and loading requirements set forth in § 152.145.

   Where the site of any new construction of any structure for which a building permit has been applied for is located on any street of the platted width of not less than 80 feet and the site of the structure to be built borders or adjoins the street, the Council may permit off-street parking between curb or outside ditch line and the sidewalk or property line; provided, the street is not an arterial or collector street as designated in the Comprehensive Plan, and the parking is not located in the sight triangle as defined by these regulations. In granting the permit, the Council may specify the requirements as to the construction of the off-street parking as in its determination will provide an adequate and proper off-street parking facility.
(Prior Code, § 11-1203)

§ 152.148 PARKING LOTS.

   Parking lots consisting of 12 or more parking spaces located in any zoning district, except for nonpermanent lots that are allowed for no more than a period of two years, and lots for the purpose of sale, resale or servicing of vehicles shall be constructed in accordance with the following requirements.
   (A)   Design standards. All parking lots authorized by this chapter shall be constructed pursuant to and in conformance with the design standards adopted by the city and on file with the City Clerk.
   (B)   Entrances and exits. The location and design of all entrances and exits shall be subject to the approval of the city.
   (C)   Lighting. If lighting is used to illuminate parking lots, it shall be so arranged as to reflect lighting away from the adjacent properties and public street.
   (D)   Signs. Only one sign, not to exceed three square feet in area and not located on public right-of-way, is permitted at each entrance and/or exit designating that entrance or exit and may state conditions of use of the parking lot. No other signs except as otherwise permitted in the zoning district shall be permitted, except for signs for parking spaces for the handicapped.
   (E)   Waiver of surfacing requirement. Upon application to the City Council, the owner of a parking lot may be relieved of the surfacing requirements of this section if the Council finds:
      (1)   The parking lot is:
         (a)   To be used in conjunction with nonprofit, religious, educational or philanthropic institution; and
         (b)   In excess of the parking required by the provisions of this chapter and not paid parking or used for employee parking and located wholly within an industrial district.
      (2)   Alternative materials or techniques shall be utilized which provide reasonable control of dust, runoffs and safe circulation; and
      (3)   (a)   The location of the parking lot is a sufficient distance from surrounding uses that it will not adversely affect the surrounding uses; or
         (b)   The frequency of use of the parking lot is so low that compliance with the surfacing requirement would cause undue hardship upon the owner as compared with minimal impact upon surrounding uses.
