ARTICLE VI

PARKING AND LOADING

Sec. 119-377.- Spaces for off-street parking and loading and persons with disabilities required.

(a)

Scope. It is the intent of this article that all buildings, structures and uses of land shall provide off-street parking and loading space in an amount sufficient to meet the needs caused by the building or use of land and that such parking and loading spaces be so that they are in fact readily usable for such purposes. Off-street parking and loading requirements are waived in the CBD district.

(b)

Additional spaces required. Each use of land and each building or structure hereafter constructed or established shall provide off-street parking and loading according to the standards set forth herein. When an addition is made to a building containing less than the required parking or loading requirements, a conforming amount of parking or loading spaces shall be supplied based upon the size of the addition. No addition to an existing building shall be constructed which reduces the number of spaces, area or usability of existing parking or loading spaces unless such building and its addition conform with the regulations for parking and loading contained herein.

(c)

Parking for persons with handicaps. Parking spaces for persons with disabilities shall be required. Existing uses providing off-street parking shall have 12 months from the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter to comply with parking requirements for persons with disabilities. New uses providing off-street parking shall incorporate spaces for persons with disabilities into the design of parking facilities.

(Ord. of 9-18-2014(2))

Sec. 119-378. - Design standards.

(a)

Off-street parks and driveways. The following are the design requirements for off-street parking spaces and driveways:

(1)

Required dimensions and access for each parking space. Each automobile parking space shall be not less than nine feet wide and 19 feet in length. Driveways shall connect each parking space with a public right-of-way.

(2)

Interior driveways. Where 90-degree parking is utilized, all interior driveways shall be a minimum of 24 feet in width. If 60-degree angle parking is used, then interior driveways shall be at least 13 feet in width for one-way traffic and 24 feet in width for two-way traffic. In the instance where parallel parking is utilized or there is no parking, interior driveways shall be a minimum of ten feet in width for one-way traffic and 24 feet in width for two-way traffic. A ten-foot stacking lane is required for drive-up windows or pick-up stations.

(3)

Surfacing, drainage and lighting.

Drainage. All off-street parking spaces, access and interior driveways will be graded to insure proper drainage and surfaced with concrete or asphalt at least two inches thick installed on an approved base of five inches minimum and maintained in good condition free of weeds, dust, trash and debris.

Surface. Hardened surface may be approved only through special use approval.

Lighting. If the off-street parking facilities are used at night, they shall be properly illuminated for the safety of pedestrians, vehicles and for security. The lighting shall be designed so as not to reflect onto or cause glare in any adjacent residential district.

(4)

Sharing or required off-street parking spaces. One-half of the off-street parking spaces required by a use whose peak attendance will be at night or on Sundays may be shared with a use that will be closed at night or on Sundays. Parking requirements for two or more uses of the same or different types may be satisfied by the allocation of a common or collective parking facility. This facility shall not be less than the sum of the requirements for the individual uses computed separately in accordance with the requirements of the zoning district.

(5)

Spaces for persons with disabilities. Spaces for handicapped persons shall meet the requirements of the Georgia Accessibility Standards.

(b)

Loading stalls. The following are the design requirements for off-street loading stalls:

(2)

Access. All off-street loading stalls shall have access from an alley, or if there is no alley, from a public or private street.

(3)

Surfacing, drainage and lighting. All off-street loading stalls and access shall be graded to insure proper drainage, surfaced with concrete or asphalt at least two inches thick, installed on an approved base of five inches and maintained in good condition free of weeds, dust, trash and debris. If loading stalls are to be used at night, they shall be properly illuminated for the safety of pedestrians, vehicles and for security. Lighting shall be designed to preclude light spill onto adjacent properties.
