Unless otherwise specifically provided or unless clearly required by the context, the words and phrases defined below shall have the meaning indicated when used in this section:

1.

All developments in all zoning districts shall provide a sufficient number of parking spaces to accommodate the number of vehicles that ordinarily are likely to be attracted to the development in question.

2.

The presumptions established by this article are that:

a.

A development must comply with the parking standards set forth herein, and

b.

Any development that does meet these standards is in compliance. However, the Table of Parking Requirements is only intended to establish a presumption and should be flexibly administered, as provided in this section.

c.

Uses in the Table of Parking Requirements, are indicated by a numerical reference keyed to the Table of Permissible Uses. When determination of the number of parking spaces required by this table results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded, while a fraction in excess of one- half shall be counted as one parking space.

d.

The Board recognizes that the Table of Parking Requirements cannot and does not cover every possible situation that may arise. Therefore, in cases not specifically covered, the permit-issuing authority is authorized to determine the parking requirements using this table as a guide.

1.

The Board of Mayor and Commissioners recognizes that, due to the particularities of any given development, the inflexible application of the parking standards set forth in this section may result in a development either with inadequate parking space or parking space far in excess of its needs. The former situation may lead to traffic congestion or parking violations in adjacent streets as well as unauthorized parking in nearby private lots. The latter situation wastes money as well as space that could more desirable be used for valuable development or environmentally useful open space. Therefore, as suggested in this section, the permit-issuing authority may permit deviations from the presumptive requirements of this section and may require more parking or allow less parking whenever it finds that such deviations are more likely to satisfy the standard set forth.

2.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the permit-issuing authority may allow deviations from the parking requirements set forth herein when it finds that:

a.

A residential development is irrevocably oriented toward the elderly;

b.

A business is primarily oriented to walk-in trade.

3.

Whenever the permit-issuing authority allows or requires a deviation from the presumptive parking requirements set forth in this section, it shall enter on the face of the permit the parking requirement that it imposes and the reasons for allowing or requiring the deviation.

4.

If the permit-issuing authority concludes, based upon information it receives in the consideration of a specific development proposal, that the presumption established by this section for a particular use classification is erroneous, it shall initiate a request for an amendment to the Table of Parking Requirements.

1.

Each parking space shall contain a rectangular area at least 19 feet long and 9 feet wide. Lines demarcating parking spaces may be drawn at various angles in relation to curbs or aisles, so long as the parking spaces so created contain within them the rectangular area required by this section;

2.

In parking areas containing 10 or more parking spaces, up to 20 percent of the parking spaces need contain a rectangular area of only 72 feet in width by 15 feet in length. If such spaces are provided, they shall be conspicuously designated as reserved for small or compact cars only;

3.

Wherever parking areas consist of spaces set aside for parallel parking, the dimensions of such parking spaces shall be not less than 22 feet by 9 feet.

1.

Parking area aisle widths shall conform to the following table, which varies the width requirement according to the angle of parking.

2.

Driveways shall be not less than 10 feet in width for one-way traffic and 18 feet in width for two-way traffic, except that 10 feet wide driveways are permissible for two-way traffic when (I) the driveway is not longer than 50 feet, (ii) it provides access to not more than 6 spaces, and (iii) sufficient turning space is provided so that vehicles need not back into a public streets.

1.

Unless no other practicable alternative is available, vehicle accommodation areas shall be designed so that, without resorting to extraordinary movements, vehicles may exit such areas without backing onto a public street. This requirement does not apply to parking areas consisting of driveways that serve one or two dwelling units, although backing onto arterial streets is discouraged.

2.

Vehicle accommodation areas of all developments shall be designed so that sanitation, emergency, and other public service vehicles can serve such developments without the necessity of backing unreasonable distances or making other dangerous or hazardous turning movements.

3.

Every vehicle accommodation area shall be designed so that vehicles cannot extend beyond the perimeter of such area onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way such areas hall also be designed so that vehicles do not extend over sidewalks or tend to bump against or damage any wall, vegetation, or other obstruction.

4.

Circulation areas shall be designed so that vehicles can proceed safely without posing a danger to pedestrians or other vehicles and without interfering with parking areas.
