ARTICLE V

- OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING

Sec. 102-256.- Purpose.

The purpose of this article of this chapter is to alleviate or prevent congestion of the public streets, and so promote the safety and welfare of the public by establishing minimum requirements for the use of the property.

(Ord. No. 795, § 1000, 5-13-74)

Sec. 102-257. - Required conditions.

(a)

Scope of regulations. The off-street parking and loading article of this chapter shall apply as follows:

(1)

For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of Ordinance No. 795, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as regulations of the district in which such buildings or uses are located. However, where a building permit was issued prior to the effective date of Ordinance No. 795, and provided that construction was begun within 90 days of the date of the building permit and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities, as required by this article, need not be provided.

(2)

When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity or other units of measure specified within the schedule of parking requirements for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities, as required, shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use. However, when a building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date of Ordinance No. 795 increases in size or capacity by 50 percent or greater, the parking or loading facilities required by this chapter shall be provided for the total use.

(3)

Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of Ordinance No. 795, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in that amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing use if the latter were subject to the parking and loading provisions of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 795, § 1001, 5-13-74)

Sec. 102-258. - Additional regulations; parking.

In addition to the requirements of the required conditions for parking and loading in section 102-257 and the requirements of the schedule of parking requirements in section 102-260, the following additional regulations shall apply to parking:

(1)

Existing parking and loading facilities. Accessory off-street parking or loading facilities which are located on the same lot as the building or use served and which were in existence on the effective date of Ordinance No. 795 or were provided voluntarily after such effective date shall not further be reduced below, or if already less than, shall not further be reduced below the requirements of this chapter for a similar new building or use.

(2)

Permissive parking and loading facilities. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking or loading facilities to serve any existing use of land or buildings, provided that all regulations in this section governing the location, design, improvement, and operation of such facilities are adhered to.

(3)

Damage or destruction. For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of Ordinance No. 795, which subsequent thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion, or other cause, and which is reconstructed, reestablished, or repaired, off-street parking or loading facilities need not be provided, except that parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at that time of such damage or destruction shall be restored or continued in operation. However, in no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this chapter for equivalent new uses or construction.

(4)

Submission of plat plan. Any application for a zoning permit or for a certificate of zoning compliance shall include therewith a plot plan, drawn to scale and fully dimensioned, showing any parking or loading facilities to be provided in compliance with this chapter.

(5)

Use of parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities accessory to any use and developed in any residential district in accordance with the requirements of this section shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles owned by occupants of the dwelling structures to which such facilities are accessory or by guests of the occupants. Of those parking facilities accessory to residential structures only fully enclosed structures shall be used for the storage of commercial vehicles. Under no circumstances shall parking facilities accessory to residential structures be used for the parking of vehicles belonging to or used by off site employees of a licensed home occupation.

(6)

Joint parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities for different buildings, structures, or uses, or for mixed uses, may be provided collectively in any nonresidential zoning district in which separate parking facilities for each constituent use would be permitted, provided that the total number of spaces, so located together, shall not be less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use, except as otherwise provided by this chapter.

(7)

Mixed uses. When two or more uses are located on the same zoning lot or within the same building, parking spaces equal in number to the sum of the separate requirements for each such use shall be provided. No parking space or portion thereof shall serve as a required space for more than one use unless otherwise authorized by the board of appeals.

(8)

Computation of required spaces. Computation of required spaces shall be performed as follows:

a.

Parking schedule. The basis for this determination of the number of parking spaces required for a given use shall be the schedule of parking requirements in section 102-260. Where a use is not specifically listed, parking spaces shall be provided as required for the most similar listed use or as determined by the zoning officer.

b.

Fractions. When determination of the number of parking spaces required by this chapter results in a requirement of a fraction of less than one-half, that fraction may be disregarded; while a fraction equal to greater than one-half shall be counted as one parking space.

c.

Spaces required on an employee basis. Parking spaces required on an employee basis shall be based on the maximum number of employees on duty or residing, or both, on the premises at any one time.

(9)

Size. All required off-street parking spaces, whether located inside or outside, shall be at least nine feet in width and at least 19 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns or office or work areas. Such spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet. An aisle width of 18 feet is required for all rows of parking containing angled parking spaces, and 24 feet for all rows of parking containing perpendicular parking spaces. Businesses in all commercial districts, including motor vehicle sales and rental establishments, shall stripe all required off-street parking, and outdoor vehicle sale and display areas. All parking shall be confined within the parking stalls.

(10)

Parking in yards. Parking may be allowed in the required yards with the exception of the following:

a.

No parking or driving shall be allowed in the required front and side setbacks adjacent to a right-of-way in all residential and CN (commercial neighborhood) districts, except on a private driveway improved with a hard-surface, which is dust free and provides for water runoff, except when snow removal or other emergency parking regulations are in effect. Governmental agencies and permitted special events by the city, shall be exempt from this requirement.

b.

No parking shall be allowed within the first 25 feet of the right-of-way corner in the commercial and industrial districts.

(11)

Design and maintenance. Design and maintenance of parking areas shall be as follows:

a.

Open and enclosed parking areas. Accessory parking spaces located on the same lot as occupied by the use served may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building.

b.

Surfacing. All new commercial development shall provide open off-street parking areas that shall be improved with an impervious bituminous or Portland cement concrete pavement, in accordance with standards set forth by the city. Such parking areas shall be so graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water, and in no case shall drainage be allowed across sidewalks. Such parking areas shall also be so arranged and marked to provide for orderly and safe parking and storage of vehicles, and shall be improved with a continuous concrete curb to prevent encroachment into adjacent areas, lots or public ways.

c.

Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from adjacent residential properties.

d.

Screening. Refer to section 102-136.

(12)

Location of accessory off-street parking facilities. The location of off-street parking spaces in relation to the use served shall be as prescribed in this section. All distances specified shall be walking distances between such parking spaces and a main entrance to the use served.

(13)

For uses in a residential district. Parking spaces accessory to single-family and two-family dwellings shall be located on the same zoning lot as the use served. All parking shall be a solid impervious bituminous asphalt or Portland cement concrete, in accordance with standards set forth by the city. New gravel areas for parking are not permissible. No parking area shall be improved or created without obtaining a permit and approval by the city. Spaces accessory to multifamily dwellings and to uses other than dwellings may be located on the same zoning lot or on an adjacent lot.

(14)

For uses in the commercial and industrial districts. All required parking spaces shall either be located on the same zoning lot or a lot within 150 feet of the principal use.

(15)

Control of off-site parking facilities. When required parking facilities are provided on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served by such facilities is located, they shall be and remain in the same possession or ownership as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Required parking facilities provided on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served by such facilities is located, which are not in the same possession or ownership as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory, are permitted by special use permit only.

(16)

Landscaping of parking areas. The following areas of consideration and requirement shall be followed in the landscaping of parking areas:

a.

Intent. It is the intent of these planting and landscaping provisions to reduce to a minimum the unaesthetic view created by a group of parked automobiles or the sea of asphalt of necessary parking areas. It is also the intent of these landscaping provisions to encourage tree and shrub planting, thereby reducing noise, air pollution, forceful winds, surface drainage, and soil erosion to adjacent property and generally adding to the beauty and worth of the entire city.

b.

General requirements. All parking areas, public or private, and including all open sales areas containing more than five spaces, shall be screened with landscaping on the sides adjacent to property that is used or zoned for residential purposes, and on all sides abutting a public right-of-way. Parking areas, public or private, including all open sales areas containing ten or more contiguous spaces shall contain, dispersed among the parking spaces and around the edges of the parking area, protected trees. One tree shall be provided for each five parking spaces to be placed on the perimeter of the area, and one tree shall be provided for each ten parking spaces to be placed on the interior of the area.

c.

Landscaping defined. Landscaping shall mean some combination of planted trees, shrubs, vines, ground cover, flowers or lawns. The landscaped strip shall be mounded a minimum of one foot above the height of the adjacent parking spaces but not exceeding a three to one slope and shall be protected from automobile traffic by curbing or some other effective barrier to the passage of automobiles. In addition, the combination or design may include rock ground cover not to exceed 20 percent of the total for any landscaped area, and such structured features as fountains, pools, art work, screens, walls, fences, or benches, but such objects alone shall not meet the requirements of this section. It is desirable and acceptable to include such nonliving structural features, but such objects shall always be used in combination with living plant material.

d.

Dispersed planting of trees. Where dispersed planting of trees is required, the tree shall be of a type and variety approved by the zoning officer and shall be planted apart from the required landscaping strips and dispersed throughout the parking area to the highest degree possible. Trees may be linearly placed or randomly placed, but shall not be grouped in any one area of the parking lot. In addition, the following requirements shall be met:

1.

Size. Unless otherwise approved by the zoning officer, all trees shall be a minimum of 1½ inches in diameter, six inches above ground level, and at least ten feet in height, when planted. The crown shall be in good balance with the trunk.

2.

Grade. Unless otherwise allowed for specific reasons, all trees shall have comparatively straight trunks, well developed leaders and tops, and roots characteristic of the species, cultivar, and variety showing evidence of proper nursery pruning. All trees must be free of insects, diseases, mechanical injuries, and other objectionable features at the time of planting.

3.

Spacing. Trees shall not be grouped, but instead shall be dispersed among the parking spaces or around the edges of the parking area. No trees shall be planted within five feet of an intersection of any street, alley, or driveway with any type of public way, nor within five feet of a public utility pole.

4.

Area per tree. Each tree shall be planted in an unpaved ground space capable of supporting the species of tree planted as specified by a competent nurseryman or landscape architect. However, in all cases a minimum of 16 square feet of unpaved ground space may also contain additional small shrubs or ground cover to complement the trees.

5.

Protective measures. All trees shall be protected from damage by automobiles and trucks by curbing or other protective barriers; and shall also be staked at the time of planting with poles having a diameter of not less than 1½ inches, or stakes measuring not less than 1½ inches on each side.

6.

Determination of number of parking spaces. In public and private parking areas, the number of spaces shall be a simple summation of the outlined spaces, excluding necessary driveways and nonfunctional areas. In open sales areas, the number of spaces shall be determined by dividing the gross land area in square feet by 350 square feet.

(17)

Submitting of plans. A site plan and landscape plan shall be submitted to the zoning officer with every application for a zoning permit or building permit for any use or structure involving parking areas. The following information shall be included:

a.

The site plan shall show building location, ingress and egress, accessways, parking spaces, maneuvering areas, landscape areas, paving, grading, fencing, curb cuts, and lighting or other arrangements as may be required. If dispersed tree planting is required, the site plan shall show the location and spacing of all required trees. Specifications and locations of all necessary protective barriers shall also be shown.

b.

The landscaping plan shall be drawn to scale and shall show the type, height, and placement of all material. This plant list shall contain the common name and size at the time of planting.

c.

The landscape design shall be subject to the following provisions:

1.

Any required planting strip shall be a minimum of eight feet in depth and span the width of the frontage, excepting areas required as ingress/egress. Parcels containing more than one frontage will be required to provide a continuous planting strip where possible, on all frontages.

2.

Wherever landscaping may interfere with traffic vision, the height and placement shall be determined by the city engineer.

3.

To effectively screen the area, the majority of the landscape materials should be a minimum of two feet in height and include some evergreen material. The landscape strip should be mounded with permanent soil or fill to a minimum of one foot but not to exceed a three to one slope, except where other design methods can be shown to effectively screen the parking area and identify the landscape strip.

4.

If location and circumstance dictate, plant material to be used should be resistant to salt damage and resistant to the noxious fumes and emissions of automobiles.

5.

The selected combination of objects for landscaping purposes shall be arranged in a harmonious manner.

d.

Approval or disapproval. The zoning officer shall have the right to approve or disapprove any landscape design which does not reasonably meet the requirements of this section. The granting of approval by the zoning officer may include such conditions as he/she deems reasonable and necessary to carry out the intent of this section. In evaluating landscaping site plans, the zoning officer may consult other city officials such as the city engineer. When consultation requests are made by the zoning officer, the consulted city official shall comply with a written statement of his/her findings.

e.

Maintenance. It shall be the owner's responsibility to see that the landscaping is maintained in a neat, clean, orderly, and healthful condition. This includes, among other things, proper pruning, mowing of lawns, weeding, removal of litter, replacement of plants, when necessary, and regular watering of all plantings. In no case shall snow or other debris from the streets and parking areas be dumped onto the landscaped strips or tree plots. Any open area between a fence or wall and adjacent property line shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner.

f.

Issuance of permits. No certificate of zoning compliance shall be issued by the zoning officer, and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the building officer unless the parking and landscape improvements have been completed or a completion bond, a cash deposit, or a certified check to cover the cost of the approved improvements as estimated by the city engineer has been deposited with the city clerk.

g.

Completion of improvements. All landscaping, off-street parking, and loading space improvements shall be completed prior to the occupancy of any building or the commencement of use of the land. In the event of adverse weather conditions, the zoning officer may authorize one time extension of not more than four months, provided the property owner shows intent to complete the improvements, as evidenced by submitting a copy of a valid contract for completion of the required improvements.
