The purpose of this article is to provide adequate motor vehicle and bicycle parking, prevent traffic hazards and encourage innovative site designs, the retention of open space and improved pedestrian orientation. Every use or structure instituted or erected after the effective date of this article shall be provided with adequate off-street parking facilities in accordance with the provisions of this article for the use of occupants, employees, visitors or patrons.

There shall be permanently maintained off-street parking for vehicles in connection with any building or premises used or designed to be used for the purposes set forth in this division.

For the purposes in this chapter it is determined that one automobile parking space shall be a minimum of nine by 19 feet (171 square feet) usable for parking an automobile and that there shall be adequate interior driveways, exclusive of ingress and egress driveways, to connect such parking place with a public street or alley.

(a)

Parking space requirements.

(1)

The council shall consider requirements for similar uses and appropriate traffic engineering and planning data, and shall establish a minimum number of parking spaces based upon the principles of this section.

(2)

Where a mixed use development is proposed, whether the mixed uses are in separate buildings within a development or in a single building, the parking standards for each proposed use shall be required, unless a reduction is granted by the village council as a part of site plan approval.

TABLE OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES

For the table of required parking spaces, refer to chapter 24, appendix B: Form-Based Code.

(b)

Design of parking lots.

(1)

Parking spaces to comply with this article must be constructed of asphaltic concrete, concrete or equal on a properly constructed and compacted base unless an alternative landscaped area is approved as part of a site plan, conditioned upon paving the landscaped area when determined necessary by the village manager, based upon the frequency of usage and the condition of the area, adequately drained so as to not cause any nuisance to adjacent property, and a minimum of nine by 19 feet (171 square feet) usable for parking an automobile, with clear access thereto the area needed for clear access thereto to be in addition to the 171 square feet required for each parking space as aforesaid) and shall be located on the same property as the main buildings, provided, however, that in no event shall the front yard be utilized for the parking of automobiles at any time. Permanent substantial barriers shall be constructed and maintained and so placed as to prevent motor vehicles on any part thereof from being driven or parked within less than one foot from the rear lot line.

(2)

Parking lots shall be designed to assure safe vehicular and pedestrian circulation. All parking and loading spaces in commercial and industrial areas shall be marked to indicate their proper location and area requirements. Off-street parking facilities not clearly evident from a street or alley shall be identified as to location and purpose.

(3)

For churches or other similar institutions where parking needs are limited to one or two days per week, 75 percent of the required parking spaces may be grass. Aisles and circulation areas shall be paved. This exemption may be approved upon a finding by the village council that there would be no detrimental effect due to erosion or other degrading of the natural environment.

(c)

Access and circulation plan required. All proposed development projects required to submit a site plan shall provide an access and circulation plan with the application for development approval. All access points shall meet access management standards as per the Florida Department of Transportation, Miami-Dade County and appropriate engineering standards. The village's traffic consultant and appropriate review agencies shall approve proposed access points including proposed maneuvers to and from the public right-of-way prior to site plan approval. The plan shall demonstrate that the following standards for vehicular access and circulation are met by the proposed development:

(1)

All projects shall have one access to a public right-of-way; if a lot has more than 300 spaces, two access points shall be allowed.

(2)

A nonresidential development on a corner lot may be allowed two points of access, provided that neither point of access is onto a principal arterial and that any access onto a collector shall be a minimum of 300 feet from the intersection of the center lines of the rights-of-way.

In addition to vehicle parking requirements, a service area shall be provided for all buildings to ensure ready access by public or private vehicles for collection of refuse.

(2)

In addition to the above, if an existing site is determined inadequate by the Village based upon a lack of off-street parking facilities, no change or expansion of the use of the site or a structure on the site will be permitted if the effect of the change will be to render the site more inadequate than its current use.

(f)

Handicapped parking. Handicapped parking stalls shall be provided in accordance with applicable federal and state standards; such stalls shall be located in close proximity to aisle ways, accessible routes, elevators, ramps or such other facilities as are provided or required for use by and for accommodation of the handicapped.
