Fairborn City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 1130

Parking and Loading

1130.01 PURPOSE.

   It is the purpose of the off-street parking and loading and bicycle parking regulations to reduce the congestion on streets due to excessive use for parking and loading of motor vehicles and to prevent excessive amounts of off-street parking and loading through the appropriate control of the siting and number of spaces permitted. Off-street circulation regulations are designed to prevent traffic congestion and hazard due to the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on private property. The requirements apply uniformly to all buildings and uses, regardless of the districts in which they are located.
(Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.02 OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIRED.

   Off-street parking and/or loading shall be provided for every new, enlarged or modified use in connection with every use as applicable, in accordance with the requirements specified in this chapter.
(Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.03 MINIMUM PARKING SPACE AND DRIVEWAY AISLE STANDARDS.

   The following minimum standards shall apply to all parking spaces and driveway aisles:
   (a)   Parking Space Standard Width and Length. Parking spaces shall have the following minimum dimensions:

   (c)   All parking spaces and their access drives shall be hard surfaced with asphalt or concrete.
(Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.07 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT.

   For the purposes of determining off-street parking requirements, the following units of measurement shall apply:
   (a)   Floor Area. In the case of uses where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking spaces, such unit shall mean the gross floor area (GFA) used or intended to be used by occupants or for service to the public as patrons, patients, visitors, residents or persons in attendance.
   (b)   Places of Public Assembly.
      (1)   In stadiums, sports arenas, religious places of worship and other places of public assembly, in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews or other similar seating facilities, each 30 inches of such seating facilities shall be counted as one seat for the purpose of determining off-street parking requirements under this chapter.
      (2)   In cases where a place of assembly has both fixed seats and open assembly area, requirements shall be computed separately for each type and added together.
(Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.08 CHANGE IN USE, ADDITIONS AND ENLARGEMENTS.

   Whenever any change in use, enlargement of building or extension of land use results in an increase in the number of units used to measure required off-street parking spaces, and such alteration or change creates a need for an increase of more than 10% in the number of required off-street parking spaces, additional off-street parking shall be provided on the basis of the increase in the number of such units of measurement.
(Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.09 MIXED OCCUPANCIES AND USES NOT SPECIFIED.

   (a)   In the case of mixed or multiple uses in one building or one lot, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately and may be reduced as per Section 1130.10: Collective Off-Street Parking.
   (b)   Where a use is not specifically mentioned, the requirements for the most similar applicable use shall apply.
   (c)   Off-street parking facilities for one use shall not be considered as providing requirements for any other use, except as hereinafter specified for joint or multiple uses.
(Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.10 COLLECTIVE OFF-STREET PARKING.

   Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent provision of collective off-street parking facilities for two or more buildings or uses, exclusive of facilities required for dwelling units. In cases of collective use, the required total of such off-street parking space supplied collectively shall be:
   (a)   Not less than 85% of the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately, and
   (b)   Not less than the largest amount required for any of the uses computed separately, provided further that the applicable district use regulations shall be complied with.

   (c)   Abut a parking lot serving a business or industrial use in a non-residence district.
      (Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17.)

1130.12 NOT TO EXCEED REQUIREMENT.

   In order to prevent excessive lot coverage, the artificial increase in air temperature, and an unnecessary increase in surface water run-off, no minimum off-street parking space requirement in Section 1130.13, Number of Parking Spaces Required, shall be exceeded by more than 20%percent unless good cause can be shown by the applicant and approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Single family dwellings, two family dwellings and accessory apartments are exempt from this provision. (Ord. 34-17. Effective 12-7-17; Ord. 21-19. Passed 4-1-19.)
