C.
Screening.
1.
Where a parking area abuts or is across the street from a residential district, it shall be separated therefrom by a solid masonry wall not less than 42 inches in height. The planning commission may waive this wall requirement if additional setback and screening planting, or landscaped berms are to be provided.
2.
Where a parking area is across the street from a residential district, there shall be a border of appropriate landscaping not less than five feet in depth, measured from the street right-of-way line, along the street frontage.
3.
Parking areas shall be screened from view from all designated highways.
D.

2.
Except in residential parking facilities with less than six spaces, parking spaces shall be arranged so that vehicles need not back onto or across any public sidewalk.
3.
Off-street parking facilities shall be designed so that a vehicle within the parking facility shall not be required to enter a street to move from one location to any other location within that parking facility. Separate noncontiguous parking facilities may be provided with independent entrances for employee and visitor parking, provided the use of each lot is clearly identified on proposed plans and at the entrances to each lot.
4.
No dead end parking aisles serving more than five stalls shall be permitted unless the aisle is provided with a turnaround area installed in a manner meeting the approval of the director.
5.
Tire stops shall be provided within all parking areas.
6.
All parking areas shall be surfaced with asphaltic or cement concrete paving which is at least three inches thick or permeable paving of comparable load-carrying capacity and durability.
7.
Parking stalls shall be at least nine feet by 20 feet minimum, and shall be marked with lines or indicated with special paving materials. The access lanes shall be clearly defined and shall include directional arrows to guide internal movement traffic. Compact parking spaces are permitted, but shall not exceed 20% of the total number of required spaces. Compact stalls shall be a minimum of eight feet by 15 feet six inches and shall be marked for compact use only.

2.
A minimum of five percent of the paved parking area shall be devoted to interior planting areas. Extensive use of trees is encouraged. All planting areas shall be at least three feet wide. Perimeter planting shall not be considered part of this required interior planting.
3.
Where topography and gradient allow, parking lots should be depressed and/or screened from view by landscaped berms and hedges.
4.
Where trees already exist on the property, the design should make the best use of this growth and shade. Such trees shall be protected by a tree well with a diameter sufficient to insure their continued growth.
5.
Planting areas should be distributed throughout the lot as evenly as possible, but variations from this pattern may be granted by the director when a different pattern would result in the overall aesthetic improvement of the project. Innovation in design and materials is encouraged.
6.
Wherever a center divider separates parking stalls facing each other, tree wells shall be established not more than 50 feet apart for large trees (exceeding 20 feet spread at maturity), or not more than 30 feet for small and medium-sized trees.
7.
All plantings shall be permanently and regularly maintained free of debris and in conformity with the accepted practices for landscape maintenance.

means a device that is designed, engineered, and sited so as to effectively separate areas of pedestrian and vehicular travel and prevent automobiles from encroaching into areas which are solely intended for pedestrian use and travel; vehicle impact protection devices shall be comprised of bollards or barriers.
B.
Vehicle Impact Protection Devices Required. Vehicle impact protection devices shall be required for parking spaces that are angled between 30 to 90 degrees relative to any outdoor pedestrian seating area that is adjacent to the head of the parking space; the requirement to install vehicle impact protection devices shall apply to all commercial uses.
C.
Exemptions. The installation of vehicle impact protection devices shall not be required in the locations specified in subsection B above if:
1.
The parking spaces that require vehicle impact protection devices are reconfigured or restriped to eliminate front-end parking angled between 30 to 90 degrees relative to an adjacent outdoor pedestrian seating area.
2.
The outdoor pedestrian seating area is permanently removed or relocated so that it is no longer adjacent to parking spaces that are angled between 30 to 90 degrees.
3.
In the opinion of the city's building official, adequate grade separation exists between the parking lot and the outdoor pedestrian seating area requiring protection; however, in no event shall the grade separation be less than 36 inches, nor shall the area of grade separation be comprised of a non-vertical wall, a ramp or stairs.
4.
In an existing parking lot, only a portion (no more than half) of a parking space abuts the outdoor seating and the angle of the parking does not allow a vehicle approach that points the front of the vehicle at the unprotected portion of the seating.
D.
Exceptions. This section shall not apply to bollards or barriers which are voluntarily installed and maintained and which are not otherwise required by subsection B above.
E.
Performance Standard. All vehicle impact protection devices shall be engineered and determined to be in compliance with the low-speed vehicle impact testing standards F3016 (S20 or S30) prescribed by ASTM International. Compliance with the ASTM F3016 S20 or S30 standard shall be confirmed and certified by a bollard manufacturer or licensed professional engineer and reviewed for conformance by the city's building official. If the vehicle protection device is not S-rated, an analysis of the site conditions, approach routes, topography and type of proposed vehicle impact protection device(s), including size and depth of footings, shall be submitted showing the vehicle impact device(s) to be equivalent to an S20 or S30 standard.
F.
Specifications for Vehicle Impact Protection Devices. Vehicle impact protection devices may take the form of bollards, barriers, or a combination of both as provided below:
1.
Location. Vehicle impact protection devices shall be located between the parking space and the beginning of the adjacent outdoor pedestrian seating area to be protected. In no instance shall a bollard be located further than five feet from the head of the parking space. Minor exceptions to this requirement are allowed if a professional engineer attests that based on the approach of the vehicle, there is no possibility that the vehicle can miss the vehicle impact protection device. Barriers may be offset and staggered in terms of relative distance from the head of the parking space and each other in order to create a more unique aesthetic and to avoid a monolithic appearance; however, in no instance shall a barrier be located further than 12 feet from the head of the parking space. Except for curbs, no structures or other obstructions shall be located between the head of the parking space and the vehicle impact protection devices.
2.
Spacing.
a.
Bollards shall:
i.
Be spaced so that two bollards are provided for each parking space required to have the device; and
ii.
Be centered within the width of a standard parking space and spaced between 54 inches and 60 inches apart from one another as measured from the outer perimeter of each bollard. In the case of parking spaces that are either compact or legal-non-conforming in width, a distance of less than 54 inches may be permitted between bollards; however, in no instance shall the distance from the bollard to the outside parking space limit line exceed 30 inches.
b.
Barriers shall be designed and located so as to provide protection that is equivalent or superior to that provided by bollards. Gaps between barriers shall not exceed 54 inches. Barriers may be placed in staggered or offset rows along and between parking spaces requiring the vehicle impact protection device and the adjacent outdoor pedestrian seating area, so long as any gap between barriers does not exceed 54 inches.
3.
Design.
a.
Bollards shall be set with the top of the device not less than three feet and not greater than four feet in height as measured from finished grade immediately adjacent to the perimeter of the bollard.
b.
Barriers shall be set with the top of the device not less than three feet in height as measured from finished grade immediately adjacent to the perimeter of the barrier.
c.
All vehicle impact protection devices shall be:
i.
Vertical relative to grade; and
ii.
Stainless steel, earth tone colored, black, grey, bronze, a concrete finish or another color determined to be appropriate by the planning commission or planning director, as applicable. Yellow, orange, or red vehicle impact protection devices shall not be allowed unless strictly required for safety purposes by the Fire Code or other state or federal law.
4.
Installation and Maintenance. All vehicle impact protection devices shall be:
a.
Installed in a manner consistent with the building code.
b.
Maintained, repaired, and replaced as needed to prevent rust, corrosion or damage and to maintain structural integrity. Use and replacement of protective or decorative sleeves as bollard covers shall be allowed consistent with all provisions in this section.
G.
Sign Poles Located within Five Feet of the Head of a Parking Space Shall be Mounted on a Vehicle Impact Protection Device. Any sign pole which is taller than 36 inches in height, and which is located within five feet of the head of the parking space that is required by this section to have a vehicle impact protection device, shall be securely mounted or affixed to a vehicle impact protection device in a manner that prevents it from detaching in the event it is impacted by a vehicle. The vehicle impact protection device, pole and sign shall be centered at the head of the parking space. The exception to this requirement is when the sign pole is located between required vehicle impact protection device(s) and pedestrian outdoor seating in such a manner that the device(s) would prevent a vehicle from hitting the sign pole.
H.
Conflicts with Other Laws. In the event the terms of this section or its application to a particular parking lot would cause a parking lot not to comply with a provision of federal or state law or another provision of the municipal code, the provisions of this section shall be applied in a manner intended to carry out the provisions of both federal and state law, other provisions of this code and the requirements of this section to the maximum extent feasible. When there is an irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of this section and the provisions of federal or state law or the provisions of this code, the provisions of federal or state law or the other provisions of this code shall prevail over the provisions contained in this section only to the extent necessary to avoid a violation of those other laws or code provisions.
I.
Minor Adjustments. The planning commission may approve minor modifications to any of the vehicle impact protection standards contained in this section to accommodate for the location of above-ground or underground utilities, other existing or planned features of the development, or any other constraints or limitations towards compliance with the provisions established by this section; provided, that the modifications achieve protections which are functionally equivalent to those intended by this section; the planning director shall have the same discretion and authority to modify the vehicle impact protection standards herein for administrative permit applications. In addition, in existing parking lots, the planning commission and planning director shall have the discretion to allow minor adjustments to the length of a parking space to accommodate a bollard or barrier.
J.
Application of Ordinance to Legal Nonconforming Parking Lots. Notwithstanding the provisions in Chapter 17.60 (Nonconforming Structures and Uses) of this title and subsection H of this section, a property owner shall comply with the requirements of Section 17.48.070 by June 1, 2018. A property owner may apply for an extension of this deadline by submitting a request to the planning director 30 days before the deadline detailing why an extension is needed. Upon demonstration of good cause for providing a property owner additional time to comply with the requirements of this section, the planning director may extend the property owner's time to comply with this section and/or may require a plan for compliance that requires partial compliance in advance of full compliance. For purposes of this section, the term "good cause" shall mean a significant financial or other hardship which warrants an extension or conditional extension of the time limit for compliance established herein. In no instance shall the planning director issue an extension of the compliance period in excess of one year's time. The planning director's decision shall be appeal-able pursuant to the provisions of Malibu Municipal Code Section 17.04.220.
