CHAPTER 21

28 - PARKING AND LOADING

21.28.010 - Purpose.

This chapter is intended to ensure that adequate off-street parking and loading spaces are provided for each type of land use in a manner that will ensure their usefulness, support alternative transportation solutions, improve the urban form of the community, and protect the public safety.

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

(Ord. No. 2149, § 1(Exh. A), 6-7-2011)

21.28.020 - Applicability.

Every use and structure, including a change or expansion of a use or structure shall have appropriately maintained parking and loading areas in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. A use shall not be commenced and structures shall not be occupied until improvements required by this chapter are satisfactorily completed.

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

21.28.030 - General parking and loading regulations.

A.

Parking and loading spaces to be permanent. Parking and loading spaces shall be permanently available, marked and maintained for parking or loading purposes for the use they are intended to serve.

B.

Parking and loading to be unrestricted. Owners, lessees, tenants, or persons having control of the operation of a premises for which parking or loading spaces are required by this chapter shall not prevent, prohibit or restrict authorized persons from using these spaces without prior approval of the community development director.

C.

Restriction of parking area use. Required off-street parking, circulation, and access areas shall be used exclusively for the temporary parking and maneuvering of vehicles and shall not be used for the sale, lease, display, repair, or storage of vehicles, trailers, boats, campers, mobile homes, merchandise, or equipment, or for any other use not authorized by the provisions of this code.

D.

Change in use. When there is a change in use that would require additional parking spaces, the spaces shall be provided at the time of the change, in compliance with Subsection 21.28.040.D (Expansion/remodeling of structure, or change in use).

E.

Conformance. Uses that were in existence at the time of adoption of this chapter and that were in conformance with the provisions of this chapter at that time shall not become "nonconforming" solely because the parking spaces provided do not meet the requirements of this chapter. However, if the use is enlarged or changed, parking spaces shall be provided as required in this chapter.

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

(Ord. No. 2149, § 1(Exh. A), 6-7-2011)

21.28.040 - Number of parking spaces required.

A.

Parking requirements by land use. Each land use shall be provided the number of parking spaces required by Table 3-1, (Parking Requirements by Land Use), except nonresidential land uses located within an overlay combining zoning district subject to a master use permit authorized by Section 21.14.030.C (Master use permit).

B.

Expansion/remodeling of structure, or change in use.

1.

Except where a parking modification permit has been granted in compliance with Section 21.28.050, (Parking modification permit) or as provided for in Section 21.10.060.I.3, (Change in use),when the use of a structure changes to a use that requires the same, or fewer, number of parking spaces as the immediately previous use, the number of required parking spaces for the new use shall be the same as the requirement for the previous use, regardless of the number of spaces actually provided by the previous use provided that:

a.

The previous use was legally established; and

b.

No spaces were eliminated by the previous use except as provided for by this Chapter.

2.

When a legally established structure is enlarged or increased in capacity, or when a legally established use is changed to one that requires more off-street parking than the existing or previous use.

a.

Only the number of parking spaces required for the addition needs to be provided; or

b.

The difference in the required number of parking spaces for the new use and the existing use only needs to be provided.

3.

When a structure (or a portion of a structure) is intentionally demolished, any new use or structure shall provide the number of parking spaces required by this chapter.

4.

Additional parking spaces shall not be required for an addition to a structure made solely for the purpose of increasing access for disabled persons.

C.

Uses not listed. Land uses not specifically listed by Subsection A, (Parking requirements by land use), above, shall provide parking as required by the community development director. The community development director shall use the requirements of Table 3-1 as a guide in determining the minimum number of parking spaces to be provided.

D.

Rounding of quantities. When calculating the number of parking spaces required, the parking demand of all uses sharing parking spaces shall first be totaled prior to rounding the resultant number to the nearest whole number.

E.

Company-owned vehicles. The number of parking spaces required by this chapter does not include spaces needed for the parking of company-owned vehicles. Parking spaces to accommodate company-owned vehicles shall be provided in excess of the requirements for a particular land use and shall be screened from view from the public right-of-way.

Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter to the contrary, the number of required parking spaces for existing uses shall be reduced by the amount necessary to accommodate one or more EVCS if the EVCS and associated equipment interferes with, reduces, eliminates, or in any way impacts the required parking spaces for existing uses.

H.

Accessible Parking and Access. Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter to the contrary, the number of required parking spaces for existing uses shall be reduced by the amount necessary to provide the minimum number and type of accessible parking spaces, and paths of travel, required by the California Building Code (CBC).

I.

Guest Parking Spaces. Where a minimum residential guest parking standard is not otherwise specified by this Chapter, a minimum of one onsite designated guest parking space for every ten onsite parking spaces provided shall be required. As set forth by this section, no additional onsite parking spaces shall be required to satisfy the guest parking requirement, nor shall guest parking be required when found to conflict with the minimum required assigned parking requirement provided in Section 21.28.040.J - Assignment of Parking Spaces.

J.

Assignment of Parking Spaces. Where onsite parking is provided on a property with residential units, parking spaces shall be assigned to onsite uses as follows:

1.

To residential units until a ratio of one assigned parking space per unit is satisfied; then

2.

To non-residential uses until the onsite parking requirements are satisfied; then
