In any district, every building built, structurally altered, enlarged or increased in capacity, and every land use initiated subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall provide off-street parking and loading facilities as provided in this chapter.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-1; Code 1997, § 98-300)

The off-street parking and loading provisions of this chapter shall apply as follows:

(1)

For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived hereof, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of the districts in which such buildings or uses are located. However, when a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived hereof, and provided that construction is begun within six months of such effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for issuance of the building permit may be provided in lieu of any different amount required by this chapter.

(2)

When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement (including that of number of employees) specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use. However, no building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall be required to provide such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal not less than 15 percent of the units of measurement existing upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived hereof, in which event parking or loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase; provided, however, that in the case of the expansion or alteration of residential buildings, required parking or loading facilities shall be provided on the basis of the total required units of measurement for the entire capacity of the building.

(3)

Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived hereof, additional parking and loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing use if the latter were subject to the parking and loading provisions of this chapter.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-2; Code 1997, § 98-301)

(a)

Loading, unloading areas. Loading or unloading areas shall not be considered as parking areas.

(b)

Off-street parking for separate uses. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each such use, and provided that all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces in relation to the use served are adhered to. Further, no parking space or portion thereof shall serve as a required space for more than one use unless otherwise authorized by the planning and zoning board.

(c)

Plan required. A plan of parking facilities shall accompany each application for a building permit. The completion of the improvements for parking according to such plan shall be a requisite for the validity of the permit.

(d)

Location. All parking spaces required for uses which are established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived shall be located on the same lot as the use served unless otherwise provided in this section.

(e)

Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this article results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or greater shall be counted as one space. Driveways or access aisles shall not be considered in computing required parking area, except as otherwise specifically provided.

(f)

Area. A required off-street parking space shall be at least ten feet in width and at least 20 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns or office or work area. Such space shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.

(g)

Access. Each required off-street parking space shall be directly upon an aisle, which aisle shall be no less than 20 feet in width. All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access of no less than 20 feet in width to a street or alley in such a manner as to minimize interference with traffic movement. No driveway across public property as the right-of-way line shall exceed a width of 25 feet.

(h)

Parking spaces in yards.

(1)

Residence districts. Off-street parking spaces, in residence districts only, open to the sky, may be located in any required rear yard or in any one of the required side yards. Enclosed buildings and carports containing off-street parking shall be subject to applicable yard requirements, except as provided in section 56-366(4).

(2)

Manufacturing districts. In manufacturing districts only, off-street parking spaces open to the sky may be located in any rear yard and in any side yard and in any front yard, but not to exceed 25 percent of such required front yard and not in any transitional yard as required in section 56-226(c).

(i)

Parking adjacent to entryways. Parking shall be prohibited in any area located adjacent to an entrance or doorway. The area of restriction shall be a minimum of ten feet in width as measured five feet in either direction from the center of the doorway entrance. This requirement shall be applicable to all zoning classifications other than R-1.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-3; Code 1997, § 98-302)

Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived hereof and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below, or if already less than, shall not be further reduced below the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this chapter.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-4; Code 1997, § 98-303)

Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking or loading facilities to serve any existing use of land and buildings; provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design and operation of such facilities are adhered to.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-5; Code 1997, § 98-304)

For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived hereof which subsequently thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, and which is reconstructed, reestablished or repaired, off-street parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction shall be restored or continued in operation. However, in no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of that required by this article for equivalent new uses or construction. Reference shall be made to article XIV of this chapter relating to nonconforming uses.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-6; Code 1997, § 98-305)

In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the zoning lot on which the buildings or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Such possession may be either by deed or long-term lease, the term of such lease to be determined by the board of trustees. The owner of the land on which the parking facilities are to be located shall be bound by covenants filed of record in the office of the recorder of deeds or the registrar of titles of the county, requiring such owner, her heirs and assigns, to maintain the required number of parking facilities for the duration of the use served or of the lease, whichever shall terminate the sooner.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-7; Code 1997, § 98-306)

Any application for a building permit, or for a certificate of occupancy where no building permit is required, shall include therewith a plot plan drawn to scale and fully dimensioned, showing any parking or loading facilities to be provided in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

(Code 1978, § 5-13-8; Code 1997, § 98-307)
