OFF-STREET PARKING

AND LOADING REGULATIONS

§ 151.115 ACCESSORY OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS.

   (A)   General purposes and applicability for off-street parking regulations. The following provisions on accessory off-street parking are adopted in order to provide parking spaces off all public ways for all employees at their place of work, to reduce congestion caused by parking on public ways, to prevent substantial amounts of traffic from circulating in and parking on residential streets surrounding commercial and industrial centers, to protect the character of neighborhoods, to provide for higher standards of residential, commercial and industrial development and thus to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
   (B)   Accessory off-street parking requirements.
      (1)   General provisions.
         (a)   In all districts, accessory off-street parking, open or enclosed, shall be provided in conformity with the requirements set forth in this section for all uses permitted by right or by the conditional use provisions.
         (b)   In addition, all other applicable requirements of this chapter shall apply as a condition precedent to the use of such development.
         (c)   A parking space is required for a portion of a unit of measure one-half or more of the amount set forth herein.
         (d)   For an enlargement or modification resulting in a net increase in the floor area, the same requirements shall apply to such net increase.
         (e)   In the case of uses where the Board of Zoning Appeals is required to prescribe the number of parking spaces, it shall base its determination on recommendations from the Planning Commission and such other factors as affect the need for off-street parking which are deemed relevant.
         (f)   For the purpose of these sections, two rooming units may be considered the equivalent of one dwelling unit.
         (g)   After the effective date of this chapter, for all enlargements or modification which increase the floor area, number of employees and seating capacity or other applicable unit of measurement, the same requirements shall apply to such enlargement or modification.
         (h)   Off-street accessory parking spaces shall be located on the same zone lot on which the use is located.
      (2)   Space requirements for accessory off-street parking for residential activities. In all districts, accessory off-street parking shall be provided as set forth in § 151.117. Duplexes shall be provided with a separate driveway for each unit.
      (3)   Reduction of requirement for accessory off-street parking for senior housing. In all districts, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen may, by conditional use permit, reduce the number of required accessory off-street parking spaces when occupancy is to be primarily by elderly persons 60 years of age or over. However, in no case shall the number of spaces be reduced below one space per two dwelling units; nor shall the number of spaces be reduced merely to accommodate additional dwelling units.
      (4)   Space requirements for off-street parking for commercial activities outside the limits of the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan. One accessory off-street parking space shall be provided for the specified number of square feet of gross floor area for each activity as set forth in § 151.117, except as noted below:
         (a)   No commercial activity for which parking is required shall have less than four off-street parking spaces;
         (b)   For any activity permitted by right in the Central Business District, accessory off-street parking shall not be required;
         (c)   The maximum number of permitted parking spaces shall be based upon a ratio of one parking space per 200 square feet of gross building area with the following exceptions:
            1.   Restaurants, which shall not exceed one space for every two seats provided for within the assembly occupancy;
            2.   Places of public assembly, including, but not limited to, places of worship, auditoriums, and theaters, which shall not exceed one space for every two seats provided for within the assembly occupancy;
            3.   Health spas/clubs, which shall not exceed a ratio of one parking space per 150 square feet of gross building area; and
            4.   The outdoor display of products considered to be an integral and inseparable part of the business operation associated with the following principal uses, provided that the display areas, customer parking areas, and employee parking areas, are shown on an approved site plan per § 151.311:
               a.   Agricultural equipment, sales or service;
               b.   ATV, RV, trailer, or other similar businesses;

               m.   Used car sales.
            5.   The display area shall be designed to comply with the requirements of § 151.025(D)(12); however, the striping of parking spaces and the planting of trees in parking lot landscape islands shall not be required for designated display areas.
         (d)   Whenever a lot in a Shopping Center Commercial (SCC), General Commercial (GC) or Medical-Professional-Office (MPO) District is to be developed with more than one use to be located on the lot or unified development, the off-street parking requirement shall be based on the following ratios according to the gross floor area of the development.
Gross Floor Area*
Ratios

*The calculations shall be based on a cumulative basis. For example, a 60,000 square foot shopping center shall be required to meet the 1:200 ratio for 50,000 square feet and shall meet the 1:250 ratio for 10,000 square feet.
 
      (5)   Space requirements for off-street parking for industrial activities. One and one-half spaces for each two persons employed on the premises at maximum employment on a single shift.
      (6)   Space requirements for off-street parking for conditional uses allowed in institutional structures in R-1 and R-2 Historic Zones. Where antique shops, art galleries (studios), museums, interior decorating shops and tearooms are allowed as conditional uses in existing institutional structures in R-1 and R-2 Historic Zones, one off-street accessory parking space shall be provided for each 375 square feet of gross floor area for each activity. Additional off-street parking to meet the requirements of this section shall be allowed at an off-site location, provided that:
         (a)   Such off-site parking has been reviewed and recommended by the Development Director;
         (b)   Not more than 30% of the additional off-street parking may be allowed at the off-site location;
         (c)   The off-site parking location shall not be more than 500 feet from the use(s) for which the additional parking is intended;
         (d)   The off-site parking location shall be under the direct control of the owners or lessees of the lot for which the additional parking is intended;
         (e)   The additional off-site parking spaces may not be a part of accessory off-street parking required by other uses.
      (7)   Space requirements for parking for uses within the limits of the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan. With the exception of uses within the CB Central Business District and unless otherwise approved, lots within the limits of the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan containing more than one use shall provide parking spaces in an amount equal to the total standards for all individual uses per § 151.117. This provision shall not limit the ability to submit an alternative parking plan to reduce the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces in recognition of different operating hours or peak business periods. Within the limits of the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, through the preliminary site plan process or planned development process, may approve an alternative parking plan that proposes alternatives to providing the number of off-street parking spaces required by § 151.117, in accordance with the standards listed in this section. Nothing in this section shall limit the use of one or more of the following off-street parking alternatives for a single development application.
         (a)   Alternative parking plan. Uses located in downtown infill situations sometimes have widely varying parking and loading demand characteristics, making it difficult to establish a single, off-street parking or loading standard. Upon receiving a development application for a use subject to this subsection, the Department of Development shall apply the off-street parking and loading standard specified for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use of established minimum off-street parking standards on the basis of a parking and loading study prepared by the applicant.
            1.   Alternate formula. A parking and loading study shall include estimates of parking demand based on recommendations of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), Urban Land Institute (ULI), or other acceptable estimates as approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and should include other reliable data collected from uses or combinations of uses that are the same as, or comparable with, the proposed use.
            2.   Shared parking. Requests for shared parking shall comply with the following standards.
               a.   Shared parking spaces shall be located within 1/4 mile/1,320 feet of the primary entrance of all uses served, unless remote parking shuttle bus service is provided. Shared parking spaces shall not be separated from the use they serve by an arterial or collector street. In addition, adequate and safe pedestrian access must be provided from and to the shared parking areas.
               b.   A shared parking area shall be located on a site with the same or more intensive zoning district classification than required for the primary uses served.
               c.   Applicants requesting to use shared parking as a means of satisfying the off-street parking standards must submit a shared parking request that justifies the feasibility of shared parking. Justification shall include information on the size and type of the proposed development, the composition of tenants, the anticipated rate of parking turnover, and the anticipated peak parking and traffic loads for all uses that will be sharing off-street parking spaces.       
               d.   The maximum reduction in the number of parking spaces required for all uses sharing the parking area shall be 50%.
               e.   Directional signage that complies with the standards of this section shall be added to direct the public to the shared parking spaces. It is preferable that the employees of an establishment use these spaces.
               f.   If a use shares parking, a plan shall be enforced through a written agreement among all owners of record. An attested copy of the agreement between the owners of record must be recorded at the office of the Shelby County Register. Recordation of the agreement shall take place prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any use to be served by the shared parking area.
            3.   On-street parking. The use of on-street parking to meet a portion of the minimum off-street parking requirements is permitted if there is adequate on-street parking contiguous to the lot.
            4.   Parking structures. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen may reduce or waive the parking required by § 151.117 if the use is in proximity to a parking structure, whether on the same or on a different lot than the uses which it serves.
            5.   Valet and tandem parking. An off-street parking program utilizing limited tandem parking for commercial uses shall comply with the following standards.
               a.   The development served shall provide off-site parking spaces equal to the use requirement per § 151.117.
               b.   No more than 30% of the total number of spaces shall be designated as tandem.
               c.   A valet parking attendant must be on duty during hours of operation.
      (b)   Alternative materials. In the Local Historic Overlay, the use of pervious or semi-pervious parking area surface materials, including but not limited to grass, mulch, grasscrete, ring and grid systems used in conjunction with grass seed or sod, permeable concrete or asphalt, porous or grid pavers may be approved for the required vehicular surface area on a lot, provided that such areas are properly maintained. Decorative, dust-free gravel used on conjunction with reinforced matting, grid pavers, or pervious asphalt, is permitted as an alternative parking area surfacing material in the Local Historic Overlay, if the Historic District Commission grants a certificate of appropriateness. Where possible, such materials should be used in areas proximate to and in combination with on-site stormwater control devices.
      (8)   Queuing spaces. Queuing spaces may count toward the overall number of required parking spaces. However, only the space that is provided at the gas island or drive-through window may be counted. Additional queuing spaces that may exist when a line forms shall not be counted as contributing to the number of required spaces.
   (C)   Additional regulations for accessory off-street parking.
      (1)   Operation of accessory off-street parking spaces.
         (a)   Off-street parking spaces which are accessory to community facility, commercial and industrial uses shall be designed and operated exclusively for the storage of the motor vehicles used by the visitors, occupants, employees, patrons or customers of those uses.
         (b)   Off-street parking spaces which are accessory to residences shall be designed and operated exclusively for the storage of the motor vehicles used by the occupants of such residences.
      (2)   Minimum parking dimensions. Each accessory off-street parking space, open or enclosed, and the minimum drive aisle width shall be as specified below:
 
Angle
Minimum Stall Width
Minimum Stall Depth (Perpendicular to Curb)[1]
Minimum Width of Adjacent Drive Aisle
0 degree (parallel)
7 feet[2]
22 feet

Notes:
[1]   Measurement is exclusive of drives, ramps, and aisles but may include up to two feet of overhang over a sidewalk if the sidewalk is at least seven feet wide or a landscaping area if there are no conflicts with required plantings.
[2]   Measurement does not include the gutter pan.
[3]   The minimum width of a drive aisle may be increased to 26 feet if required by the Fire Marshal.
 
   (D)   Development standards for accessory off-street parking and driveways for all uses permitted by right or by the conditional use provisions.
      (1)   Design objectives.
         (a)   Parking areas and related driveways shall be designed with careful regard given to orderly arrangement, topography, amenity of view, ease of access and as an integral part of the overall site design.
         (b)   For reasons of use and appearance, it is desirable that parking areas be level or on terraces formed with the slope of the land. Changes in level between such terraces should be formed by retaining walls or landscaped banks.
         (c)   Efforts shall be made to assure that a parking area does not dominate a site or building. The efforts may include depressing the level of the parking area, construction of earth berms, dividing large lots into smaller sub-lots and other similar techniques.
      (2)   Location of access to the street. The entrances and exits of all required or permitted accessory off-street parking facilities with five or more spaces shall be located not less than 50 feet from the intersection of any two street lines.
      (3)   Surfacing. Except where expressly permitted, off-street parking areas and driveways shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or pavers (brick, stone, or concrete) and so constructed to provide for adequate drainage for both on and off site and to prevent the release of dust. In no case shall drainage be allowed to cross sidewalks. Exceptions include the following:
         (a)   Parking areas and driveways surfaced with gravel are permitted for agricultural uses, single-family lots five acres or greater in size, and where determined appropriate by the Historic District Commission (HDC) per § 151.115(B)(7). Driveways surfaced with gravel are prohibited within ten feet of where the driveway intersects a public street.
         (b)   Parking areas and driveways surfaced with recycled concrete and gravel are permitted in GI: General Industrial Districts when used outside of the required building setbacks.
      (4)   Lighting. Lighting of driveway and parking areas shall be provided as required by § 151.190.
      (5)   Screening and required plantings. Screening for parking lots shall be as required by the applicable design guidelines. Plantings shall be provided as required by § 151.268.
      (6)   Reserved parking areas. Reserved parking areas and customary outdoor display areas shall be delineated on the site plan and reviewed and approved per § 151.311.

§ 151.116 ACCESSORY OFF-STREET LOADING REGULATIONS.

   (A)   General purposes and applicability for off-street loading regulations. The following provisions for accessory off-street loading berths are adopted in order to provide needed space off public streets for loading and unloading activities, to limit the use of streets for such purposes, to help relieve traffic congestion in all areas and thus to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
   (B)   Accessory off-street loading berth requirements.
      (1)   General provisions.
         (a)   In all districts, accessory off-street loading berths, open or enclosed, shall be provided for all community facility, commercial and industrial uses developed after the effective date of this ordinance, as a condition precedent to the use of such development.
         (b)   Each use or activity which may require loading berth space has been assigned a loading berth code number. The code numbers are listed below, along with the requirements associated with each. To find out what the loading berth requirement is for a particular use, look that use up in § 151.117, find out which loading berth code number has been assigned to that use, then refer to the requirements below. The developer shall evaluate his or her own needs to determine if the use requires a greater number of spaces than those required by this section.
         (c)   After the effective date of this ordinance, if the use of any building or other structure is enlarged or modified to increase the floor area, the requirements set forth in this ordinance shall apply to the increased floor area of the enlarged or modified portion of such building.

      (3)   Special provisions for a single lot with uses subject to different loading requirements. When any building or lot contains two or more uses having different requirements for loading berths, and the floor area of each separate use is less than the minimum floor area for which berths are required, then off-street loading berths shall be provided as if the total floor area were used for that use for which the most berths are required.
      (4)   Wholesale, industrial or storage uses combined with other uses. If any building or lot is used partly for wholesale, industrial or storage uses or any combination of these uses and partly for any other community facility or commercial uses, at least 50% of the floor area in the building shall be subject to the requirements set forth for wholesale, industrial and warehousing uses and the remainder shall be subject to the other applicable requirements.
      (5)   Size of required berths.
         (a)   Off-street loading berths, opened or enclosed, shall have minimum dimensions of:
            1.   Length:            25 feet;
            2.   Width:               12 feet; and
            3.   Vertical clearance:         15 feet.
         (b)   For any use which is required to furnish three or more loading berths, at least one of every three loading berths shall have a minimum dimensions of:
            1.   Length:            65 feet;
            2.   Width:               12 feet; and
            3.   Vertical clearance:         15 feet.
         (c)   These dimensions shall not include drive-ways or entrances to, or exits from, such off- street berths.
      (6)   Location of access to the street. The entrances and exits to all required accessory off-street loading berths shall be located not less than 50 feet from the intersection of any two street lines.
      (7)   Surfacing. All permitted or required open off-street loading berths shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete or other hard surface material and constructed so as to provide for adequate drainage and prevent the release of dust.
      (8)   Screening.
         (a)   All permitted or required open off-street loading berths located adjacent to residences or a residential district or within a residential district shall be screened from the adjoining residential districts by either:
            1.   A strip at least 10 feet wide, densely planted with shrubs or trees which are at least four feet high at the time of planting and which are of a type which may be expected to form a year round dense screen at least six feet high within three years;
            2.   A wall or barrier or uniformly painted fence of fire resistant material, at least six feet high but not more than eight feet high, as measured from the finished grade. Such wall, barrier or fence may be opaque or perforated, provided that not more than 50% of the fence is open.
         (b)   In addition, such screening:
            1.   Shall be maintained in good condition at all times;
            2.   Shall not be located within 15 feet of normal vehicular entrances and exits; and
            3.   Shall not conflict with § 151.006(A).
      (9)   Location. To the maximum extent possible, all off-street loading berths shall be located between the principal building and the rear lot line of the property, and/or shall be screened from the view of the street and adjacent properties. Loading berths shall be located so as not to restrict the ingress and egress to the lot nor to any intersection.
      (10)   Required open space for loading berths. No accessory off-street loading berth shall be located within the required open space on any lot.
      (11)   Waiver or modification of requirements. As part of the review and approval of a Site Plan, the Director of Development Services or his or her designee may waive or modify the loading berth requirements upon finding that the use does not require loading spaces of a number or size required by this section, given the particular operational characteristics of the use and its need or lack thereof for the delivery or shipments of goods to and from the site.
