P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts

§ 480-49 Purpose.

The P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts are intended to permit the establishment of areas to be used solely for off-street parking of private passenger vehicles as a use incidental to a principal use. This district will generally be provided by petition or request to serve a use district which has developed without adequate off-street parking facilities. The following regulations shall apply to all P-1 Districts.

§ 480-50 Permitted use.

In the P-1 Districts, off-street vehicular parking is the only permitted use. Such parking area shall be used solely for parking of private passenger vehicles, for periods of less than one day, and shall not be used as an off-street loading area.

§ 480-51 Required conditions.

Applications for P-1 District zoning shall be made to the Planning Commission by submitting a dimensional layout of the area requested showing the intended parking plan.
The parking area shall be accessory to, and for use in connection with, one or more businesses or industrial establishments located in adjoining business or industrial districts, or in connection with one or more existing professional or institutional office buildings or institutions.
Such parking lots shall be contiguous to an LB, GB, MC, IRO, OS-1, I-1 or I-2 District. Parking areas may be approved when adjacent to said districts, or on the end of a block where such areas front on a street which is perpendicular to that street servicing the district. There may be a private driveway or public street or public alley between such P-1 District and above listed districts.
[Amended 1-7-2013 by Ord. No. 308]

The required wall shall be located on this minimum setback line.
No commercial repair work or service of any kind, or sale or display thereof, shall be conducted in such parking area.
