OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING

Sec. 36-381.- Applicability of article.

Off-street parking shall be provided, in accordance with this article, for all structures and uses erected or established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived.

(Code 1974, § 5-1; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-1, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-382. - Existing parking and loading facilities.

(a)

Existing off-street parking or loading facilities located on the same lot as the use served shall not be reduced, or, if already less than, shall not be further reduced, below the requirements and standards for similar new structures or uses.

(b)

When an existing structure or use is damaged or destroyed by 75 percent or more and subsequently repaired or rebuilt, except in the C-2 district, parking and loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction shall be restored, but additional parking and loading spaces need not be provided.

(c)

When the use of any structure or premises is intensified through addition of dwelling units, increased floor area or greater seating capacity, etc., additional off-street parking and loading spaces commensurate with such increases in use intensity shall be provided.

(d)

When the existing use of a structure is changed to a different use, off-street parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required in this chapter for such new use.

(Code 1974, § 5-1.1; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-1, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-383. - Parking lot design standards.

All off-street parking lots shall conform to the following standards:

(1)

Spaces.

Every off-street parking space shall be at least ten feet wide and 20 feet long, and shall have at least seven feet of vertical clearance. Every space shall be situated so that no part of any parked vehicle overhangs the public right-of-way.

Markings shall be laid and restored as often as necessary to clearly delineate each parking space.

(2)

Interior aisles. Aisles within parking lots shall be sufficiently wide to permit safe and efficient vehicular movement in the aisles, and into and out of parking spaces. Aisles designed for two-way traffic shall be at least 22 feet wide. One-way aisles designed for 60-degree parking shall be at least 18 feet wide.

(3)

Access ways.

Parking lots shall be designed so that ingress to or egress from a parking space is from an aisle or driveway, not directly from the public right-of-way.

No access way to any parking lot shall be located within 30 feet of any corner formed by the intersection of the right-of-way of two or more streets. At intersections where traffic control devices are installed, the building and zoning official may increase this requirement as necessary to prevent hazards.

Parking lot access ways (as well as residential driveways) and public streets shall be aligned to form, as closely as feasible, right angles.

The access way to every parking lot located in any business district or in the industrial district shall be at least 24 feet wide unless two one-way drives, each 12 feet wide, are provided.

The access way to every parking lot located in any residential district or in the agricultural district shall be at least ten feet wide; but if the parking area contains more than eight parking spaces or if the access way is longer than 100 feet, access shall be provided either by one two-way drive at least 20 feet wide or by two one-way drives, each at least ten feet wide.

(4)

Surfacing. Parking lots shall be graded and improved with a compacted stone base at least four inches thick, surfaced with at least two inches of asphaltic concrete or approved comparable material. Crushed rock or oil and chip surfacing is not acceptable. All multifamily residential areas must provide paved parking spaces in conformance with this chapter. All surface areas shall be maintained to prevent deteriorated surfaces and shall provide adequate drainage for surface runoff.

(5)

Lighting. Any lights used to illuminate any parking lot shall be arranged or shielded so as to confine direct light rays within the lot lines of the parking lot to the greatest extent practicable. In instances where commercial properties are adjacent to residential uses, special consideration shall be given that such lighting does not pose a nuisance to nearby residents. All commercial parking lots shall have approved lighting as well as any multifamily parking lot with six or more parking spaces.

(6)

Landscaping. In order to reduce heat and glare, to minimize blowing of dust and trash, and to reduce the oppressive visual effects of large open parking areas, landscaping shall be provided and maintained within every parking lot that contains 20 or more parking spaces.

A landscaping plan (either a separate document or an element of a more inclusive development plan) shall accompany every application for an initial certificate of zoning compliance to develop any parking lot that will contain 20 or more spaces.

The landscaping plan shall include the following information:

The proposed type, amount, size and spacing of plantings, including trees, shrubbery, and ground cover;

The proposed size, construction materials, and drainage of landscaped islands; and

The sketch indicating proposed spatial relationships of landscaped areas, parking spaces, automobile circulation and pedestrian movement.

Plantings shall not exceed two feet in height in those locations governed by section 36-49(b).

(Code 1974, § 5-2; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-2, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-384. - Location of parking.

All off-street parking shall be located in conformity with the following requirements:

(1)

For dwellings. Parking spaces accessory to dwellings shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling. Such parking spaces shall not be located in any front yard, but may be located in side or rear yards. Each parking space accessory to a multifamily dwelling shall be constructed so that no vehicle need be moved in order to allow another vehicle to enter/exit the parking area. Any yard that faces a street is considered a front yard.

(2)

For commercial/industrial uses.

Every off-street parking space accessory to any commercial or industrial use shall be located within 500 feet of the use served; provided that no portion of any parking lot for nonresidential uses shall extend into any residential district or into the agricultural district, except by written permission of the building and zoning official.

In any business district or in the industrial district, off-street parking facilities for different buildings or uses may be provided collectively; but only if the total number of spaces so located together is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use, and if all other pertinent regulations are observed.

(Code 1974, § 5-3; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-3, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-385. - Design and location of off-street loading facilities.

All off-street loading facilities shall conform to the minimum standards indicated in sections 36-386 through 36-390.

(Code 1974, § 5-4; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-4, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-386. - Size of space.

Every off-street loading space shall be at least 12 feet wide and 45 feet long, exclusive of aisle and maneuver space, and shall have vertical clearance of at least 14 feet. In no case shall a vehicle being loaded or unloaded overhang into the public right-of-way.

(Code 1974, § 5-4.1; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-4, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-387. - Access way.

Every off-street loading space shall have a safe means of vehicular access to a street or alley. Such access way shall be at least 12 feet wide.

(Code 1974, § 5-4.2; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-4, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-388. - Surfacing.

Every off-street loading area shall be improved with a compacted stone base at least seven inches thick, surfaced with at least two inches of asphaltic concrete, crushed rock, oil and chip, reinforced concrete or other comparable material as approved by the building and zoning official.

(Code 1974, § 5-4.3; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-4, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-389. - Buffer strips.

No loading space or area for vehicles over two-ton cargo capacity shall be developed closer than 50 feet to the lot line of any lot located in any residential district, unless such space/area is completely enclosed by walls, a solid fence, or closely planted shrubbery at least ten feet in height and of sufficient density to block the view from the residential property.

(Code 1974, § 5-4.4; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-4, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-390. - Location.

Every off-street loading space shall be located on the same parcel of land as the use served, and not closer than 50 feet to the intersection of the right-of-way of two or more streets, and not on any required front yard. For state- and county-maintained highways, thoroughfares, etc., the appropriate departments of highways or transportation will be contacted to receive necessary access permits and approval.

(Code 1974, § 5-4.5; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-4, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-391. - Computation of required parking and loading spaces.

In computing the number of parking spaces required by this chapter, the building and zoning official shall apply the following rule:

(1)

In computing parking space requirements based on the number of employees, the maximum number of employees on the premises at any period of the day shall be used. Employee parking means one parking space shall be required per 1½ employees, unless otherwise stated.

(2)

In computing parking or loading space requirements on the basis of building floor area, the gross floor area shall be used.

(3)

When it is necessary to translate the gross parking lot area into the number of parking spaces, 350 square feet of gross area shall be deemed one parking space.

(4)

If the computation of the number of parking or loading spaces required by this chapter results in a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one space.

(5)

No space, or portion thereof, needed to satisfy the minimum applicable requirement for number of off-street parking or loading spaces shall be counted as part of the off-street parking or loading spaces required for another structure or use.

(Code 1974, § 5-5; Ord. No. 1151, § 5-5, 7-25-2005)

Sec. 36-392. - Number of parking and loading spaces required.
