All driveway approaches shall be of reinforced concrete as described above, and shall be curbed to City standards. No paved parking space or area shall be designed such that a vehicle has to back up into a public street or across a public sidewalk, except for single-family dwellings, which are only allowed to egress onto a local (50' right-of-way) or residential collector (60' right-of-way) street but not onto any larger or more heavily traveled street.

All parking spaces shall be permanently and clearly identified by stripes, buttons, tiles, curbs, barriers, or other approved methods. Non-permanent type marking, such as paint, shall be regularly maintained to ensure continuous clear identification of the space.

All parking, loading spaces, and vehicle sales areas on private property shall have a vehicle stopping device (e.g., curb, wheel stop, etc.) installed so as to prevent parking of motor vehicles in any required landscaped areas, to prevent vehicles from hitting buildings, to protect public and/or private utility structures/facilities, and to prevent any parked vehicle from overhanging a public right-of-way line, public sidewalk or private property. An extra-wide sidewalk on private property may be permitted so as to allow encroachment of vehicle overhang while maintaining an unobstructed four-foot (4') minimum sidewalk width. This requirement shall apply only where spaces are adjacent to the walks, right-of-way, and landscaping on private property. Parking shall not be permitted to encroach upon the public right-of-way in any case. For new construction only, all vehicle maneuvering shall take place on-site. No public right-of-way shall be used for backing or maneuvering into or from a parking space or for circulation within the parking lot.

Refuse storage facilities placed in a parking lot shall not be located in a designated parking or loading space. Each refuse facility shall be maintained so as to comply with all public health and sanitary regulations. Each refuse facility shall be located so as to facilitate pickup by refuse collection agencies and ease of egress from the site without having to back up further than twenty feet (20') and without having to go the wrong way in a traffic aisle. Masonry screening or City Council approved landscape screening of all refuse storage facilities is required on three (3) sides with gates concealing the fourth (4th) side.

Parking space(s) for persons with disabilities and other associated provisions (e.g., clear and unobstructed pathways into building, crosswalks across parking lots, etc.) shall be provided according to current building codes, State laws, and requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Parking spaces for persons with disabilities shall be as close as possible to the main entrance of the building, and shall be appropriately and clearly marked.

In all nonresidential and multifamily zoned districts, designated parking and loading areas shall not be used for the repair, storage, dismantling or servicing of vehicles or equipment, for the placement of signs or refuse facilities, or for the storage of materials or supplies, or for any other use in conflict with the designated parking and loading areas (i.e., advertising or open storage of raw materials).

To ensure that all requirements set forth in this Section are carried forward, it will be the responsibility of the owner of the parking area to adequately maintain the facility. All off-street parking areas shall be kept free of trash, debris, vehicle repair operation or display and advertising uses. At no time after initial approval of the parking area layout can changes be made in the location and number of provided spaces without approval of a revised site plan.

A stacking space shall be an area on a site measuring eight feet by twenty feet (8' x 20') with direct forward access to a service window or station of a drive-through facility which does not constitute space for any other circulation driveway, parking space, or maneuvering area. An escape lane, of at least eight feet (8') in width and with negotiable geometric design, must be provided to allow vehicles to get out of stacking lane in the event of a stalled vehicle, emergency, accidental entry, etc.

For financial institutions with drive-through facilities, each teller window or station, human or mechanical, shall be provided with a minimum of five (5) stacking spaces. One (1) escape lane shall be provided.

For each service window of a drive-through restaurant, a minimum of five (5) spaces shall be provided for the first vehicle stop (usually the menu/order board), and two (2) spaces shall be provided for each additional vehicle stop (order/pickup windows, etc.). One (1) escape lane shall be provided from the beginning of the stacking lane to the first stop (e.g., menu-order board).

For retail operations (other than restaurants, banks, etc.) and kiosks that provide drive-up service (e.g., pharmacy, dry cleaners, etc.), a minimum of three (3) stacking spaces for each service window shall be provided.

For a full-service carwash, each vacuum or gas pump lane shall be provided with a minimum of four (4) stacking spaces.

For each wand-type self-service (open) carwash bay, a minimum of two (2) stacking spaces, in addition to the wash bay itself, shall be provided. One stacking space shall be provided at the exit end of each wash bay for window-drying and other detailing, unless a separate area/shade structure is provided (outside of circulation aisles) for these activities.

For automobile quick-lube type facilities, a minimum of three (3) stacking spaces shall be provided for each service bay in addition to the service bay itself.

Dead-end parking areas shall be avoided if possible. If dead-end parking is necessary, then it shall be designed such that it is no more than three (3) parking spaces deep unless adequate turnaround space is provided. A minimum five-foot (5') deep hammerhead backup space shall be provided at the end of any dead-end parking area.

All parking structures must conform to the construction and design standards of the Zoning District in which they are located.

For multifamily uses (i.e., apartment complexes), all parking spaces shall be located behind the required front setback line on all street frontages.

All retail and similar nonresidential structures shall provide and maintain off-street facilities for receiving and loading merchandise, supplies and materials within a building or on the lot or tract. All drives and approaches shall provide adequate space and clearances to allow for the maneuvering of trucks off-street. Each site shall provide a designated on-site maneuvering area for trucks. Such off-street loading space may be adjacent to (but not any portion of) a public alley or private service drive, or it may consist of a truck berth within the structure. The minimum dimensions of a “regular” loading space shall be twelve feet by thirty feet (12' x 30'), and a “large” loading space shall be at least twelve feet by sixty-five feet (12' x 65'). Loading spaces or berths shall be provided in accordance with the following schedule:

In all nonresidential zoning districts, loading docks or service/delivery entrances shall not be constructed facing any public street (except for large industrial uses; see paragraph below), and shall not be visible from any public street. Such loading areas shall be screened from view of any public street by the building itself, or by a masonry screening wing wall at least twelve feet (12') in height with large evergreen trees and shrubs planted in front of it such that limited portions of the wing wall will be visible when the trees and shrubs are mature. Such masonry wing wall shall match the exterior construction materials and colors of the main building, and shall be located no closer than one hundred feet (100') to any public street right-of-way line.

For large industrial or warehouse uses in the “I” zoning district only, the loading docks may face a public street, and shall not be required to provide a masonry screening wing wall, provided that a minimum thirty-foot (30') wide landscape buffer area is provided adjacent to the street right-of-way line. One (1) large shade tree (minimum 3" caliper, and minimum 10' planted height) shall be provided within the landscape buffer area for every twenty feet (20') of street frontage, or one (1) small ornamental tree (minimum 1.5" caliper, and minimum 7' planted height) shall be provided for every twelve feet (12') of street frontage (or some combination thereof). At least fifty percent (50%) of the required street buffer trees shall be large shade trees, and the rest of the trees may be small ornamental trees. In addition, a solid massing of large evergreen shrubs and three- to four-foot tall berms shall be provided to further screen loading area from view of the street.

Loading docks for any establishment which customarily receive[s] goods between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. and is adjacent or within three hundred feet (300') to a residential use or district shall be designed and constructed so as to enclose the loading operation on at least three sides in order to reduce the effects of the noise of the operation on adjacent residences. Other screening/buffering alternatives may be required and approved on the Site Plan provided that the City Council makes a finding that the alternative method of screening/buffering will be adequate to protect nearby residences.

Nonresidential districts with loading docks shall not design and construct parking and loading facilities in a manner that there is a dead-end loading dock area. Maneuvering space and clearances shall be provided. In no instance shall a loading facility allow for trucks backing into roadways or interfering with the flow of traffic due to ingress and egress of the parking and loading facility. Adequate clearances shall be designated on the Site Plan.

Kindergartens, elementary schools, day schools, and similar child training and care establishments shall provide one (1) paved off-street pedestrian loading and unloading space for an automobile on a through or “circular” drive for each ten (10) students cared for (excluding child care in a residence).

For large shopping centers only, loading spaces that are adjacent and easily accessible to several buildings or uses, including buildings and uses on separate lots, shall be allowed to satisfy the loading requirements for the individual buildings or uses, provided that:

In all Districts (except all residential Districts) the Site Plan and Paving Plans shall provide for entrance/exit drive(s) appropriately designed and located to minimize traffic congestion or conflict within the site and with adjoining public streets as approved by the City Manager or his/her designee. When requested, the applicant shall submit a traffic impact analysis, as defined in Article XIX of this Ordinance, performed by a certified Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) for the purpose of determining how the impact of projected volumes of traffic entering or leaving the proposed development are likely to interfere with the projected peak traffic flow volumes on adjoining streets, additional right-of-way and paving in the form of a deceleration lane, a turn lane, or other roadway improvements may be required to be furnished by the developer in order to reduce such interference and to help ensure traffic safety and efficiency. The dedication of additional right-of-way or street paving may also be required, and shall be determined at the time of Site Plan and Preliminary Plat approval.

In the approval of a Development Plan (Site Plan), consideration shall be given to providing entrance/exit drives which extend into the site to provide adequate queuing of vehicles on the site. Such drives shall have curbs or other barriers to prohibit access from parking areas and other drives.

The radius of all drive approaches shall be constructed so that the curb return shall not extend beyond any projection of the property line which the drive does not cross, except by platted easement or written agreement of both property owners filed for record with the County Clerk with proof supplied to the City.

Vehicular access to nonresidential uses shall not be permitted from alleys serving residential areas, and shall not be configured as “head-in” parking spaces that are accessed directly from the street.
