The following minimum parking ratios apply to all zoning districts. The applicant may provide an alternative parking plan with data submitted in support of higher or lower ratios.

On-street parking spaces located immediately abutting the subject parcel, lying entirely within the extension of the side lot lines into the roadway and not within any required clear sight distance, may be counted toward meeting these parking requirements.

Accessible parking must be provided according to the standards in the Architectural Barriers Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS)

Surface parking spaces adjacent to any street shall be required to be screened from the street or street easement by a minimum two and one-half (2-1/2) feet tall (at time of planting) hedge of evergreen shrubs spaced no greater than three (3) feet on center, or a minimum two and one-half (2-1/2) feet tall grass berm, or a combination of the two (2).

Such landscaping or berms shall not conflict with any sight easements.

Parking spaces shall be so designed and shrubs shall be planted such to preclude vehicle overhang onto the shrubs or their planting area.

For purposes of this section, "adjacent to any street or street easement" shall refer to parking spaces which are less than one hundred (100) feet from the nearest street right-of-way or private street easement, and for which there are no buildings, structures, fences, or other site improvements other than landscaping, signs, or open space between the parking spaces and the street right-of-way or easement.

The property owner installing new landscaping shall guarantee a plant life of at least eighteen (18) months after issuance of a letter of compliance or certificate of occupancy. Ongoing maintenance of required landscaping, including replacement of any landscape elements which are damaged or which die, shall be the responsibility of the current owner of the property.

The applicant provides a detailed breakdown of his or her parking requirements indicating employee counts, shift distribution and visitor or customer needs.

The applicant provides a site plan showing how additional parking to meet standard requirements would be provided if the use changed or parking needs increase.

In limited cases, off-site parking, shared parking agreements, and reciprocal access and parking agreements may be approved by the City Council.

All buildings shall be located on a site abutting a public or private street.

Unless otherwise approved by the City's Engineer, all nonresidential sites abutting an arterial street must provide a shared cross-access easement with a minimum paving width of 22 feet when abutting another mixed use or nonresidential property.

A maximum of forty percent (40%) of the curbline and parkway shall be used for vehicular access to such property.

A platted lot shall be permitted the number of driveways identified below.

The City's Engineer may approve or require additional driveways. Such determination shall consider site design, pedestrian and vehicle circulation, adjacent uses, topography, speed of traffic on adjacent roads, and other similar considerations.

Driveways shall be separated by a distance of not less than 150 feet measured centerline to centerline of the driveways. In the event that an infill lot is unable to meet this separation requirement due to the location of existing driveways on adjacent lots, the infill lot shall be permitted one driveway.

Unless otherwise approved or required by the City's Engineer, the permitted driveway for a corner lot shall connect to the street with the lower roadway classification.

Unless otherwise approved or required by the City's Engineer, driveways may intersect a street no closer than 50 feet from the intersection of two street right-of-way lines and no closer than 100 feet from the intersection of an arterial street.

Driveways shall be contained entirely within the property frontage or as part of a joint access easement with an adjacent platted property.

The screen shall consist of plant materials and a solid, decorative wall of masonry or similar durable material, six to eight feet in height.

This equipment includes air conditioning, heating, ventilation ducts, and exhaust vents, loading docks, refuse storage areas; and utility services, electrical transformers, gas meters, etc.

Temporary fencing may be necessary to protect historic resources, trees, or other similar sensitive features during site preparation and construction. This fencing shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator.

The following fencing materials are prohibited in all zones except where they are required by a State or Federal law or regulation.

The colors, materials, and architectural style of screening shall be architecturally compatible with other on-site development.
