Reductions, Alternative Plans and Required Studies

Stacking Study. For uses with a drive through window, a stacking study is required to determine if the minimum stacking required by this Chapter is sufficient for the proposed use. Stacking studies shall follow the format and procedure set forth in MKZ 18.69, Required Studies and Plans. A reduction or increase in stacking requirement may be approved by the Planning Director pursuant to the following criteria:
1. The stacking study shall be commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant;
2. The study calculates the projected demand for stacking at the site in comparison to the requirements of Table 18.63-2 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements;
3. The stacking study demonstrates that the proposed site plan will not exacerbate an existing deficiency in circulation, stacking, or parking;
4. Any proposed stacking spaces are sufficient for the use and will not result in blockage of rights of way, internal parking, or circulations spaces;
5. If a reduction in stacking spaces is requested, the stacking study shall provide industry-standard evidence of similar uses in similar contexts indicating a lesser number will meet or exceed the intent of this Chapter due to any of the following:
  1. The likelihood that patrons or tenants have reduced car ownership or drive less;
  2. The availability and practicality of walking, bicycling or transit access supporting the use; or
  3. Other transportation demand management plans proposed by the applicant.
Transit Proximity Reduction. The minimum number of required parking spaces may be reduced up to 20 percent for uses that are located within one-quarter mile of a high frequency transit station such as light rail, commuter rail, or bus rapid transit (BRT) lines.
Valet Parking Program. A valet parking program is a parking plan with personnel retained to assist parking at a drop-off area and exclusively controls the parking of vehicles into valet spaces until they are returned to a pick-up area. A valet parking program may reduce the required parking of a use up to 90 percent of the required parking minimum if the valet program meets the following requirements:
1. A valet parking plan must include the following:
  1. A document detailing the location of valet parking lots, pick up and drop off areas, stacking spaces, and egress/ingress information.
  2. A document detailing the hours of operation, staffing required, a minimum lease period of 10 years, and any other applicable operational procedure information.
2. A parking study commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant must show that the proposed valet program provides sufficient peak time parking.
3. A minimum of eight percent (8%) of the required parking is reserved for self-parking.
4. Valet parking lots, located on a major street with a minimum width of 66 feet, must be on the same side of the street as the use they serve. Valet parking lots may be provided on the opposite side of the use being served, of a minor street, a street with a width less than 66 feet.

Shared Parking. Shared use of required non-residential parking spaces may occur where two or more uses on the same or separate sites are able to share the same parking spaces because their parking demands occur at different times. Shared use of required nonresidential parking spaces is allowed, subject to approval by the Land Use Authority, and provided that the following documentation is submitted in writing with the site plan application:

Names and addresses of the property owners that are engaging in a shared parking agreement.
A parking study commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant demonstrating the shared spaces are sufficient for each use at peak times. The parking study must include a breakdown of uses, comparing the peak times of weekday night, day, evening, and weekend day and evening hours as set forth in Table 18.63-3 Shared Parking Percentage Requirements.
A map of shared parking areas along with number of parking spaces to be shared.
A legal instrument such as an easement or deed restriction that guarantees access to the parking for both uses.

In determining the total requirements for shared parking facilities, the Planning Director or Planning Commission shall use Table 18.63-3 Shared Parking Percentage Requirements according to the following guidelines:

For each applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required for a use as if it were the only use (refer to the schedule of minimum off-street parking requirements).
Use the figures for each individual land use to calculate the number of spaces required for that use for each time period specified in the table (six time periods per use).
For each time period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a grand total for each of the six time periods.
Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that as the total number of parking spaces required for the site on a shared parking basis.

For uses not listed in Table 18.63-3 Shared Parking Percentage Requirements, or in otherwise unique circumstances, the Planning Director shall determine the required parking for the six time periods. These determinations shall be made in accordance with the National Parking Association, International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute (ULI), Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) or other reputable sources of parking data.

Offsite Parking Credits
1. If offsite parking is available either on public property or on property provided by deed, lease, or easement by a public entity or private landowner for offsite parking, which parking is within 300 feet as measured from the closest property lines of a particular land use, credits may be given toward the parking requirement for said land use.
2. In cases where multiple businesses or land uses qualify to use the same parking spaces for offsite parking credits, the credits shall be pro-rated for each land use. In calculating the pro-rated offsite parking credits, the Planning Director shall consider such factors as:
  1. The amount of frontage a property has on the street;
  2. The total number of parking stalls required for a given land use; and
  3. The potential that future development in the immediate vicinity creates further demand for parking spaces. The Planning Director may also use Table 18.63-2 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements for land uses in different general categories to consider shared offsite parking.
3. If offsite parking is provided by deed, lease, or easement, the deed, lease, or easement shall require the owner and/or heirs, successors or assigns to maintain the required number of parking spaces for a minimum duration of at least ten (10) years. The City shall be notified when a lease or easement is terminated. If for any reason the lease or easement is terminated during the ten (10) year minimum contractual period, the lessee shall either replace the parking being lost through the terminated lease or easement or obtain approval for alternative parking requirements as found in this Chapter. A business license may be suspended until a new lease is secured for off‐site parking.
4. Following approval of a building permit or conditional use permit, the lease or easement shall be recorded, referencing and appearing on the title to both the primary use property and the property to be used for off‐site parking. Off‐site parking areas shall include, at a minimum, one pedestrian connection to the primary use. The City shall approve such connections to the off‐site parking areas. A pedestrian connection shall be installed prior to the use of an off‐site parking area if one does not exist.
Street Parking Credits. When striped public parking spaces are present along the street frontage of a site, those spaces may contribute to the minimum parking requirement, subject to the following criteria:
1. Striped on-street parking spaces must abut the frontage of a given site. Parking spaces on the opposite side of the street may not contribute to the required parking.
2. Striped on-street spaces may contribute up to 50 percent of the parking minimum requirement.
3. In the case that street parking is constructed as an improvement in conjunction with an approved site plan, the striped on-street spaces may contribute up to 75 percent of the parking minimum requirement.
4. These spaces may not be used for community parking credits.

Alternative Travel Mode Reduction. For sites providing enhancements, a total reduction of up to 15percent of the minimum parking requirement may be granted by the Planning Director at the time of site planning if the site provides one or more of the following enhancements:
1. Enhanced walkways that exceed the minimum required sidewalk width by two feet (2’) with enhanced landscaping adjacent to the walkways.
2. A paved plaza must be located between the primary structure and the right-of-way, covering at least 10 percent of the site’s square footage. The plaza must provide seating and shade trees.
3. Enhanced bicycle parking is provided by exceeding the minimum requirement by at least 50 percent.
4. If a site fronts a bus stop, additional enhancements at the stop such as benches, a shelter, or similar amenities are provided.
Provisional Parking. Provisional parking is defined as an area or areas within a parking lot where the spaces shown on the approved parking plan are landscaped rather than paved. The site plan must show that the provisional parking spaces comply with the Chapter’s parking stall size requirements and the maneuverability and aisle requirements as set forth in this Chapter.

Reductions, Alternative Plans and Required Studies

Stacking Study. For uses with a drive through window, a stacking study is required to determine if the minimum stacking required by this Chapter is sufficient for the proposed use. Stacking studies shall follow the format and procedure set forth in MKZ 18.69, Required Studies and Plans. A reduction or increase in stacking requirement may be approved by the Planning Director pursuant to the following criteria:
1. The stacking study shall be commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant;
2. The study calculates the projected demand for stacking at the site in comparison to the requirements of Table 18.63-2 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements;
3. The stacking study demonstrates that the proposed site plan will not exacerbate an existing deficiency in circulation, stacking, or parking;
4. Any proposed stacking spaces are sufficient for the use and will not result in blockage of rights of way, internal parking, or circulations spaces;
5. If a reduction in stacking spaces is requested, the stacking study shall provide industry-standard evidence of similar uses in similar contexts indicating a lesser number will meet or exceed the intent of this Chapter due to any of the following:
  1. The likelihood that patrons or tenants have reduced car ownership or drive less;
  2. The availability and practicality of walking, bicycling or transit access supporting the use; or
  3. Other transportation demand management plans proposed by the applicant.
Transit Proximity Reduction. The minimum number of required parking spaces may be reduced up to 20 percent for uses that are located within one-quarter mile of a high frequency transit station such as light rail, commuter rail, or bus rapid transit (BRT) lines.
Valet Parking Program. A valet parking program is a parking plan with personnel retained to assist parking at a drop-off area and exclusively controls the parking of vehicles into valet spaces until they are returned to a pick-up area. A valet parking program may reduce the required parking of a use up to 90 percent of the required parking minimum if the valet program meets the following requirements:
1. A valet parking plan must include the following:
  1. A document detailing the location of valet parking lots, pick up and drop off areas, stacking spaces, and egress/ingress information.
  2. A document detailing the hours of operation, staffing required, a minimum lease period of 10 years, and any other applicable operational procedure information.
2. A parking study commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant must show that the proposed valet program provides sufficient peak time parking.
3. A minimum of eight percent (8%) of the required parking is reserved for self-parking.
4. Valet parking lots, located on a major street with a minimum width of 66 feet, must be on the same side of the street as the use they serve. Valet parking lots may be provided on the opposite side of the use being served, of a minor street, a street with a width less than 66 feet.

Names and addresses of the property owners that are engaging in a shared parking agreement.
A parking study commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant demonstrating the shared spaces are sufficient for each use at peak times. The parking study must include a breakdown of uses, comparing the peak times of weekday night, day, evening, and weekend day and evening hours as set forth in Table 18.63-3 Shared Parking Percentage Requirements.
A map of shared parking areas along with number of parking spaces to be shared.
A legal instrument such as an easement or deed restriction that guarantees access to the parking for both uses.

For each applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required for a use as if it were the only use (refer to the schedule of minimum off-street parking requirements).
Use the figures for each individual land use to calculate the number of spaces required for that use for each time period specified in the table (six time periods per use).
For each time period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a grand total for each of the six time periods.
Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that as the total number of parking spaces required for the site on a shared parking basis.

Offsite Parking Credits
1. If offsite parking is available either on public property or on property provided by deed, lease, or easement by a public entity or private landowner for offsite parking, which parking is within 300 feet as measured from the closest property lines of a particular land use, credits may be given toward the parking requirement for said land use.
2. In cases where multiple businesses or land uses qualify to use the same parking spaces for offsite parking credits, the credits shall be pro-rated for each land use. In calculating the pro-rated offsite parking credits, the Planning Director shall consider such factors as:
  1. The amount of frontage a property has on the street;
  2. The total number of parking stalls required for a given land use; and
  3. The potential that future development in the immediate vicinity creates further demand for parking spaces. The Planning Director may also use Table 18.63-2 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements for land uses in different general categories to consider shared offsite parking.
3. If offsite parking is provided by deed, lease, or easement, the deed, lease, or easement shall require the owner and/or heirs, successors or assigns to maintain the required number of parking spaces for a minimum duration of at least ten (10) years. The City shall be notified when a lease or easement is terminated. If for any reason the lease or easement is terminated during the ten (10) year minimum contractual period, the lessee shall either replace the parking being lost through the terminated lease or easement or obtain approval for alternative parking requirements as found in this Chapter. A business license may be suspended until a new lease is secured for off‐site parking.
4. Following approval of a building permit or conditional use permit, the lease or easement shall be recorded, referencing and appearing on the title to both the primary use property and the property to be used for off‐site parking. Off‐site parking areas shall include, at a minimum, one pedestrian connection to the primary use. The City shall approve such connections to the off‐site parking areas. A pedestrian connection shall be installed prior to the use of an off‐site parking area if one does not exist.
Street Parking Credits. When striped public parking spaces are present along the street frontage of a site, those spaces may contribute to the minimum parking requirement, subject to the following criteria:
1. Striped on-street parking spaces must abut the frontage of a given site. Parking spaces on the opposite side of the street may not contribute to the required parking.
2. Striped on-street spaces may contribute up to 50 percent of the parking minimum requirement.
3. In the case that street parking is constructed as an improvement in conjunction with an approved site plan, the striped on-street spaces may contribute up to 75 percent of the parking minimum requirement.
4. These spaces may not be used for community parking credits.

Alternative Travel Mode Reduction. For sites providing enhancements, a total reduction of up to 15percent of the minimum parking requirement may be granted by the Planning Director at the time of site planning if the site provides one or more of the following enhancements:
1. Enhanced walkways that exceed the minimum required sidewalk width by two feet (2’) with enhanced landscaping adjacent to the walkways.
2. A paved plaza must be located between the primary structure and the right-of-way, covering at least 10 percent of the site’s square footage. The plaza must provide seating and shade trees.
3. Enhanced bicycle parking is provided by exceeding the minimum requirement by at least 50 percent.
4. If a site fronts a bus stop, additional enhancements at the stop such as benches, a shelter, or similar amenities are provided.
Provisional Parking. Provisional parking is defined as an area or areas within a parking lot where the spaces shown on the approved parking plan are landscaped rather than paved. The site plan must show that the provisional parking spaces comply with the Chapter’s parking stall size requirements and the maneuverability and aisle requirements as set forth in this Chapter.

Reductions, Alternative Plans and Required Studies

Stacking Study. For uses with a drive through window, a stacking study is required to determine if the minimum stacking required by this Chapter is sufficient for the proposed use. Stacking studies shall follow the format and procedure set forth in MKZ 18.69, Required Studies and Plans. A reduction or increase in stacking requirement may be approved by the Planning Director pursuant to the following criteria:
1. The stacking study shall be commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant;
2. The study calculates the projected demand for stacking at the site in comparison to the requirements of Table 18.63-2 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements;
3. The stacking study demonstrates that the proposed site plan will not exacerbate an existing deficiency in circulation, stacking, or parking;
4. Any proposed stacking spaces are sufficient for the use and will not result in blockage of rights of way, internal parking, or circulations spaces;
5. If a reduction in stacking spaces is requested, the stacking study shall provide industry-standard evidence of similar uses in similar contexts indicating a lesser number will meet or exceed the intent of this Chapter due to any of the following:
  1. The likelihood that patrons or tenants have reduced car ownership or drive less;
  2. The availability and practicality of walking, bicycling or transit access supporting the use; or
  3. Other transportation demand management plans proposed by the applicant.
Transit Proximity Reduction. The minimum number of required parking spaces may be reduced up to 20 percent for uses that are located within one-quarter mile of a high frequency transit station such as light rail, commuter rail, or bus rapid transit (BRT) lines.
Valet Parking Program. A valet parking program is a parking plan with personnel retained to assist parking at a drop-off area and exclusively controls the parking of vehicles into valet spaces until they are returned to a pick-up area. A valet parking program may reduce the required parking of a use up to 90 percent of the required parking minimum if the valet program meets the following requirements:
1. A valet parking plan must include the following:
  1. A document detailing the location of valet parking lots, pick up and drop off areas, stacking spaces, and egress/ingress information.
  2. A document detailing the hours of operation, staffing required, a minimum lease period of 10 years, and any other applicable operational procedure information.
2. A parking study commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant must show that the proposed valet program provides sufficient peak time parking.
3. A minimum of eight percent (8%) of the required parking is reserved for self-parking.
4. Valet parking lots, located on a major street with a minimum width of 66 feet, must be on the same side of the street as the use they serve. Valet parking lots may be provided on the opposite side of the use being served, of a minor street, a street with a width less than 66 feet.

Names and addresses of the property owners that are engaging in a shared parking agreement.
A parking study commissioned by the City, conducted by a professional transportation engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and paid for by the applicant demonstrating the shared spaces are sufficient for each use at peak times. The parking study must include a breakdown of uses, comparing the peak times of weekday night, day, evening, and weekend day and evening hours as set forth in Table 18.63-3 Shared Parking Percentage Requirements.
A map of shared parking areas along with number of parking spaces to be shared.
A legal instrument such as an easement or deed restriction that guarantees access to the parking for both uses.

For each applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required for a use as if it were the only use (refer to the schedule of minimum off-street parking requirements).
Use the figures for each individual land use to calculate the number of spaces required for that use for each time period specified in the table (six time periods per use).
For each time period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a grand total for each of the six time periods.
Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that as the total number of parking spaces required for the site on a shared parking basis.

Offsite Parking Credits
1. If offsite parking is available either on public property or on property provided by deed, lease, or easement by a public entity or private landowner for offsite parking, which parking is within 300 feet as measured from the closest property lines of a particular land use, credits may be given toward the parking requirement for said land use.
2. In cases where multiple businesses or land uses qualify to use the same parking spaces for offsite parking credits, the credits shall be pro-rated for each land use. In calculating the pro-rated offsite parking credits, the Planning Director shall consider such factors as:
  1. The amount of frontage a property has on the street;
  2. The total number of parking stalls required for a given land use; and
  3. The potential that future development in the immediate vicinity creates further demand for parking spaces. The Planning Director may also use Table 18.63-2 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements for land uses in different general categories to consider shared offsite parking.
3. If offsite parking is provided by deed, lease, or easement, the deed, lease, or easement shall require the owner and/or heirs, successors or assigns to maintain the required number of parking spaces for a minimum duration of at least ten (10) years. The City shall be notified when a lease or easement is terminated. If for any reason the lease or easement is terminated during the ten (10) year minimum contractual period, the lessee shall either replace the parking being lost through the terminated lease or easement or obtain approval for alternative parking requirements as found in this Chapter. A business license may be suspended until a new lease is secured for off‐site parking.
4. Following approval of a building permit or conditional use permit, the lease or easement shall be recorded, referencing and appearing on the title to both the primary use property and the property to be used for off‐site parking. Off‐site parking areas shall include, at a minimum, one pedestrian connection to the primary use. The City shall approve such connections to the off‐site parking areas. A pedestrian connection shall be installed prior to the use of an off‐site parking area if one does not exist.
Street Parking Credits. When striped public parking spaces are present along the street frontage of a site, those spaces may contribute to the minimum parking requirement, subject to the following criteria:
1. Striped on-street parking spaces must abut the frontage of a given site. Parking spaces on the opposite side of the street may not contribute to the required parking.
2. Striped on-street spaces may contribute up to 50 percent of the parking minimum requirement.
3. In the case that street parking is constructed as an improvement in conjunction with an approved site plan, the striped on-street spaces may contribute up to 75 percent of the parking minimum requirement.
4. These spaces may not be used for community parking credits.

Alternative Travel Mode Reduction. For sites providing enhancements, a total reduction of up to 15percent of the minimum parking requirement may be granted by the Planning Director at the time of site planning if the site provides one or more of the following enhancements:
1. Enhanced walkways that exceed the minimum required sidewalk width by two feet (2’) with enhanced landscaping adjacent to the walkways.
2. A paved plaza must be located between the primary structure and the right-of-way, covering at least 10 percent of the site’s square footage. The plaza must provide seating and shade trees.
3. Enhanced bicycle parking is provided by exceeding the minimum requirement by at least 50 percent.
4. If a site fronts a bus stop, additional enhancements at the stop such as benches, a shelter, or similar amenities are provided.
Provisional Parking. Provisional parking is defined as an area or areas within a parking lot where the spaces shown on the approved parking plan are landscaped rather than paved. The site plan must show that the provisional parking spaces comply with the Chapter’s parking stall size requirements and the maneuverability and aisle requirements as set forth in this Chapter.
