The purpose of this chapter is to reduce street congestion and traffic hazards in the City by incorporating adequate, attractively designed facilities for off street parking and loading as an integral part of every use of land in the City. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)

   A.   Parking Required: There shall be provided at the time any building or structure is erected or enlarged or increased in capacity, or any use is established, off street parking spaces for automobiles in accordance with the requirements in this chapter.

   B.   Plans Required To Obtain Building Permit: All applications for a building permit shall be accompanied by a plot plan showing the required parking spaces, with ingress and egress. The plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Community and Economic Development Department.

   C.   Alternatives To On Site Parking: The required off street parking for any new use, structure or building which, due to the size or location of the parcel, cannot be provided on the premises may be provided on other property not more than a three hundred foot (300') distance from the building site measured along the shortest available pedestrian route of access upon a finding by the Planning Commission that the off site parking is conveniently located for such use and will not create a traffic or safety problem. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012; amd. Ord. 2022-22, 11-17-2022)

   A.   Size: Required parking stalls shall be rectangular with a minimum width of nine feet (9') and a minimum length of eighteen feet (18'), in accordance with table 1 of this section. If the stall is perpendicular to a curb, the length shall be measured from the curb face. Each parking stall shall have independent access from a driving aisle. A parking stall may contain less than eighteen feet (18') of pavement in length if all of the following conditions are met:

      1.   The stall has a standard six inch (6") curb face that will allow vehicles to extend over a landscaped area of no less than six feet (6') in total width;

      2.   Each stall contains no less than sixteen feet (16') of pavement in length measured from curb face;

      3.   No pedestrian pathway or landscaping that prevents a standard vehicle from overhanging the curb is within two feet (2') of any curb face; and

      4.   All other requirements of this Code are met.

   B.   Location: Required parking stalls shall not be located in delivery areas, service driveways, driving aisles, drive-in stacking lanes, shopping cart storage areas, or areas in front of overhead service doors. Designated loading space shall not encroach into any fire lane or pedestrian pathway.

   C.   Separation From Rights-Of-Way: Except as provided above, wheel or bumper guards shall be placed in parking stalls where necessary to prevent any part of a standard sized vehicle from extending beyond a parking stall boundary line, intruding on a pedestrianway, or contacting any wall, fence, or planting. A physical separation or barrier, such as vertical curbs, may be required in order to separate parking stalls from access to a second travel lane.

   D.   Layout: All off street parking stalls shall be designed in accordance with the dimensions and specifications set forth in tables 1 and 2 of this section.

   E.   Accessibility Requirements: All parking facilities shall comply with accessibility requirements of the City's then current Building Code. The number of accessible spaces required by the City's Building Code as of the enactment of this section is shown in table 3 of this section.

   F.   Markings: All required parking stalls shall be marked and maintained to be permanently visible.

   G.   Surface: Required parking stalls, loading spaces, maneuvering areas, and driving aisles shall be paved with asphalt, concrete, paving stone or masonry to a sufficient thickness to withstand repeated vehicular traffic, and shall be constructed according to the City's street standards and specifications.

   H.   Tables:

 

 

* One-way traffic only.

 

(Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)

Except as provided herein, under no circumstances shall there be less parking spaces provided than actually required by the use.

   A.   Number Specified: The minimum number of off street parking spaces required in all zones except the HV and R-M/U Zone, shall be as follows:

 

   B.   Adjustments to Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required:

      1.   The following percentages of the minimum stalls required may be designed, designated and maintained to accommodate “Compact” cars or motorcycles, scooters.

         a.   A maximum of 25% of minimum stalls required may be compact stalls

         b.   A maximum of 15% of minimum stalls required may be motorcycle/scooter stalls.

      2.   Adjustments to minimum parking requirements may be allowed to account for local factors and proposed development strategies which reduce traffic demand generated by the land use.

Upon application to the Planning Commission, as per section 13.08 of this Title, a property owner may petition to adjust the required minimum parking by selecting from the following table of allowable strategies. Reductions selected shall not exceed 30% of the minimums required.

 

   C.   Development In the R-M/U zone;

      1.   Minimum Number Of Parking Spaces: All developments within the R-M/U Zone shall provide the minimum number of parking standards as adopted in the Site Development Master Plan, as per 13.65.060.

   D.   Developments In The HV Zone:

      1.   Minimum Number Of Parking Spaces: All developments within the HV Zone shall provide a minimum number of off street parking spaces in the amount specified on chart 13.80.1 in this section. In no case shall the parking provided be less than that required by the use(s) allowed within the structure except as specifically allowed by the Planning Commission upon request per subsection B4 of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when shared parking is furnished as provided in section 13.80.050 of this chapter, the total number of required parking spaces may be reduced as authorized in that section.

 

      2.   Existing Surface Parking Lots: The use of existing surface parking lots within the HV Zone may be continued so long as upon expansion or remodeling of the associated structures (see section 13.71.060 of this title), the parking lot is improved, where reasonably possible, to meet the requirements of this section. Exceptions may be granted by the Community Development Director using alternative parking located within two hundred feet (200') from the project site.

      3.   Maximum Number Of Spaces: In the HV Zone, the maximum number of surface lot parking spaces shall be no more than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the required minimum number of spaces as required in chart 13.80.1 of this section.

      4.   Abutting Public Parking: The Planning Commission may allow for fifty percent (50%) of immediately abutting parking stalls in the public right-of- way to be counted toward the minimum required number of stalls for a use in the HV Zone as per chart 13.80.1 of this section, if:

         a.   The use can demonstrate that the abutting parking stalls will be used by the customers of that use as the primary parking location within the village, and

         b.   The use can demonstrate that the reduced number of on site parking stalls in conjunction with the abutting stalls in the right of way will be adequate to accommodate the general business activity on the site, and

         c.   The approval of abutting stalls in the public right of way will not detrimentally impact overall parking capacity of the Holladay Village area and does not represent a violation of the spirit and intent of this title, and

         d.   The abutting on street stalls will not be marked, signed or implied by the use that any stall is reserved for exclusive use by the business.

   E.   Number Of Parking Spaces For Uses Not Specified: For any use of building not specified in this section, the off street parking requirement shall be determined by the community development director being guided, where appropriate, by the requirements set forth in this section for uses or buildings which, in the opinion of the community development director, are similar to the use or building under consideration.
