The most distant parking space is not more than four hundred (400) feet from the use;

The parking lot site is covered by a recorded instrument in a form approved by the City Attorney;

The parking lot site is not located in a residential zone unless the principal use requiring the parking is also allowed in a residential zone; and

The parking lot site is not within a road easement or right-of-way or private street.

Access driveways from a street to a parking facility shall be at least twelve (12) feet wide for a one (1) way driveway or to serve parking areas for four (4) or fewer vehicles. Access drives for two (2) way traffic or to serve parking areas for more than four (4) vehicles shall be twenty-four (24) feet wide;

All parking areas shall be designed to provide safe and efficient but separate vehicle and pedestrian circulation systems from public ways to building entries;

No on-site parking shall be allowed within ten (10) feet of a vehicular entrance to the property; and

Required parking spaces cannot be provided in tandem.

To ensure the proper maintenance and utilization of these facilities, parking areas shall be designed so that a parked vehicle does not overhang required sidewalks, planters or landscaped areas. A permanent curb, bumper, wheel stop or similar device shall be installed which shall be adequate to protect the required sidewalks, planters and landscaped areas from vehicular damage. If such protection is provided by means of a method designed to stop the wheel, rather than the bumper of the vehicle, the stopping edge shall be placed no closer than two (2) feet from the edges of the required sidewalks, planter or landscaped areas and from any building. The innermost two (2) feet of each parking space (between curb and any planter or sidewalk) may be planted with low ground cover, and added to any required or proposed landscaping, to allow for bumper overhang. This additional planting area is considered part of the parking space and may not count toward satisfying any landscaping requirement. The Building Official may require other barrier curbs or wheel stops as deemed necessary to protect areas within or adjacent to the parking area from vehicular encroachment.

Compact Spaces. Fifteen percent (15%) of the required parking spaces, calculated after all applicable parking reductions are applied in accordance with Section 18.48.050, may be designated compact car spaces. Compact car spaces shall be at least eight (8) feet in width and sixteen (16) feet in length and shall be clearly marked "compact cars only."

Shower and Locker Facilities. Developments with twenty (20) or more employees may reduce their parking requirement one (1) space for every three (3) clothing locker facilities provided for bicycle commuting employees. In addition, the developer shall provide shower facilities for both men and women. Maximum reduction is ten percent (10%) of required parking.

Secure Bicycle Parking. Developments which provide additional Class I or Class II bicycle parking facilities over and above the minimum requirement as set forth in Section 18.48.070 may reduce their parking requirement by one (1) space for every three (3) additional bicycle spaces provided. Maximum reduction is five percent (5%) of required parking.

Preferred Carpool and Vanpool Parking Spaces. Office or industrial developments that guarantee preferred parking spaces (e.g., covered, shaded, or near building entrance) to employees who participate regularly in a carpool or vanpool may reduce their parking requirement by one (1) vehicle space for every one (1) space which is marked and reserved for carpools and vanpools at a preferred location. Maximum reduction is five percent (5%) of required parking.
