PARKING AND

§ 157.145 OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

(A) The purpose of this section is to provide in all districts at the time of erection or enlargement of any main building or structure, automobile off-street parking space with adequate access to all spaces.

(B) Off-street parking spaces, in conjunction with all land or building uses shall be provided prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, as hereinafter prescribed.

(1) Off-street parking spaces may be located within a front, side, or rear yard setback, unless otherwise provided in this chapter.

(2) Off-street parking for other than residential use shall be either on the same lot or within 300 feet of the building it is intended to serve, measured from the nearest point of the building to the nearest point of the off-street parking lot. Ownership shall be shown of all lots or parcels intended for use as parking by the applicant.

(3) Required residential off-street parking spaces shall consist of a parking strip, parking bay, driveway, garage, or combination thereof and shall be located on the premises they are intended to serve, and subject to the provisions for accessory uses, buildings, and structures (See §§ 157.035 through 157.040(A)).

(4) Any area once designated as required off-street parking shall not be changed to any other use, unless and until equal facilities are provided elsewhere.

(5) Off-street parking existing at the effective date of this chapter, in connection with the operation of an existing building or use, shall not be reduced to an amount less than hereinafter required for a similar new building or new use.

(6) In order to minimize excessive areas of pavement which depreciate aesthetic standards and contribute to high rates of stormwater runoff, exceeding the minimum parking space requirements by greater than 10% shall not be allowed, except as approved by the Planning Commission and/or Zoning Commission, as required. Documented evidence of the need for additional parking on a typical day shall be submitted to the Planning Commission and/or Zoning Commission, as required, for then review and approval.

(7) Two or more buildings or uses may collectively provide the required off-street parking, in which case, the required number of parking spaces shall not be less than the sum of the requirements for the several individual uses computed separately.

(8) Two or more buildings or uses may collectively provide the required off-street parking, in which case the required number of parking spaces for the uses calculated individually may be reduced if a signed agreement is provided by the property owners, and the Planning Commission and/or Zoning Commission, as required, determines that the peak usage will occur at significantly different periods of the day and/or there is potential for a parker to visit two or more uses.

(9) Where two or more uses are present on the premises, parking requirements shall be calculated for each use, unless specifically provided otherwise herein.

(10) The storage of merchandise, motor vehicles for sale, trucks, or the repair of vehicles is prohibited.

(11) For those uses not specifically mentioned, the requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be in accord with a use which the Planning Commission and/or Zoning Commission, as required, considers similar in type.

(12) For uses not specifically listed in § 157.146, the requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be in accordance with a similar use or based on documentation regarding the specific parking needs for the particular use, as determined by the Planning Commission and/or Zoning Commission, as required.

(13) When units or measurements determining the number of required parking spaces result in the requirement of a fractional space, any fraction up to and including one-half shall be disregarded and fractions over one-half shall require one parking space.

(14) During construction, off-street parking shall be provided on site for all construction vehicles and employees.

(15) (a) Carports and garages for multiple-family dwellings shall be calculated as parking spaces on a one-to-one basis.

(b) Carports and garages in multiple-family dwelling developments shall have a maximum height of 14 feet, measured from the grade to the peak of the structure.

(c) Carports shall be enclosed or obscured at least 25% along all sides visible from public streets, residential districts, or vehicular drives within the site.

(16) All existing buildings and uses and all buildings erected or uses established thereafter within the CBD (Central Business District) may be exempt from the requirements of this section for privately supplied off-street parking facilities.

§ 157.146 PARKING UNITS OF MEASUREMENT.

(A) Floor area.

(1) Where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking and loading spaces, said unit shall mean the gross floor area (GFA), unless otherwise noted.

(b) Where these areas are not yet defined, leasable floor area shall be considered to be 85% of the gross floor area.

(3) In calculating bench seating for places of assembly, each 24 inches of benches, pews, or other such seating, shall be counted as one seat.

(4) Where the number of spaces required is based on the number of employees, calculations shall be based upon the maximum number of employees likely to be on the premises during the peak shift.

(5) When units of measurements determining the number of required parking or loading spaces results in a fractional space, any fraction shall be counted as one additional space.
