§ 151.3205 ALLOWANCE FOR SHARED PARKING.
The Planning Commission and/or Council may accept a development plan that satisfies the off-street parking requirements by use of off-site shared parking with the city or another non-residential user. A copy of the proposed off-site agreement must be submitted with the application for development plan approval. The Director of Law must review and approve the agreement. In determining whether to accept such proposed plan, Planning Commission and/or Council may consider the proximity and accessibility of the off-site location to the proposed development site, the hours of operation of the two users, the number of spaces available and required for each business, and the compatibility of uses.
(Ord. 5-2005, passed 3-23-05; Am. Ord. 7-2022, passed 10-5-22)
§ 151.3206 ALLOWANCE FOR PARKING RESERVES.
(A) The Planning Commission may allow the applicant to delineate a number of the minimum parking spaces required by this Chapter as a reserve area that is available to be constructed for parking in the future, if the applicant can provide documentation showing that the proposed use of the property at the time of the application does not require the minimum number of spaces specified in § 151.3204. The proposed reserve area shall be dedicated for future parking only and shall remain as open space until such time that it is necessary to develop the area as parking. In any case in which the Planning Commission permits an applicant to create a reserve parking area, in lieu of development of the minimum required parking, then the Planning Commission shall require, as a condition of approval, that the development be monitored by the Community Development Director on a periodic basis in order to ensure the adequacy of the parking as constructed meets the current needs of the development or that there is a need to construct all or part of the reserve area for parking. Upon recommendation from the Community Development Director that additional parking is needed within the reserve area, the Planning Commission may require that all or a portion of the reserve area be constructed for parking.
(B) If the parking area requires stormwater detention/retention, the applicant shall either design the detention/retention facilities to accommodate the reserve area or demonstrate what stormwater best management practices they will incorporate in the reserve area in lieu of detention/retention to compensate for the additional stormwater runoff, if the reserve area is developed. The City Engineer shall determine if the detention/retention and/or stormwater BMP's shall be required to be built during the initial construction phase or may be delayed until the reserve parking area is required to be developed.

§ 151.3207 SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THE OLD MONTGOMERY DISTRICT.
(A) No off-street parking shall be permitted between the established building setback and the public right-of-way.
(B) In recognition of the historic, compact character of buildings in the Old Montgomery District, as well as the less efficient use of the floor area of those buildings, the number of off-street parking spaces for each facility or use in the Old Montgomery District shall be determined according to the following:
(1) The number of off-street parking spaces shall be 50% of the standards set forth in § 151.3204.
(2) However, due to unique building and site characteristics that may be present in the Old Montgomery District and the Old Montgomery Gateway District, the Planning Commission and/or Council may approve a development plan with fewer parking spaces than 50% of the requirements set forth in § 151.3204. In order for the Planning Commission to consider a reduction of the required spaces, the applicant must demonstrate that such a reduction is warranted based on the following criteria.
(a) The character of the proposed use, the design of the building and the ability of the proposed use to reinforce the main street environment;
(b) The availability and accessibility of public parking spaces, both on-street and within public parking lots to meet the needs of the development;
(c) The availability of parking areas on adjacent sites, considering the hours of operation of the proposed use compared to adjacent uses to meet the needs of the development; and
(d) The potential negative impact to the character of the district if the requisite number of parking spaces is provided.

(Ord. 6-2010, passed 7-7-10; Am. Ord. 7-2022, passed 10-5-22)
§ 151.3213 IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE STANDARDS.
All driveways, parking areas, curbs, and bumper guards shall be constructed in accordance with standards established by the City Engineer and the following:
(A) Paving. All parking and loading areas and access driveways shall have asphalt or other similar hard surface approved by the City Engineer. Pervious pavement may be used for all driveways, parking areas, curbs and bumper guards if reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. All interior landscaped areas shall have protective curbs along the edges to protect the landscaping from vehicles; however, the curbs shall be perforated or have caps or breaks to allow for stormwater runoff to pass through them, unless determined to be inappropriate by the City Engineer.
(B) Drainage. Parking areas shall be graded to provide for drainage so that injury will not be caused to adjacent properties or water will not drain across a public sidewalk. All new parking areas over 2,000 square feet in area, excluding access drives, shall be designed so that all stormwater runoff from the parking area shall be directed through a minimum of one stormwater best management practice (BMP) as approved by the City Engineer prior to being released from the site. The City Engineer will work with the engineer for the applicant to identify which progressive environmental design should be used, being sensitive to existing site conditions and reasonable technical specifications. Any addition to an existing parking lot which would make the total square footage of the parking area 2,000 square feet or more, excluding access drives, shall install a minimum of one stormwater BMP to capture the additional volume of runoff generated by the additional parking area. The Community Development Director and the City Engineer may approve the reconfiguration of any parking area which reduces the amount of impervious surface or in which at least one stormwater BMP is installed; otherwise, the reconfiguration of the parking area shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Drainage will be consistent with all other applicable standards of the City of Montgomery.
(C) Lighting. Parking areas shall be illuminated whenever necessary to protect the public safety. Light sources utilized for such illumination shall comply with the following regulations:
(1) Height: The height of all light poles for parking and other public areas for permitted and conditional uses in all residential districts and the OM Core District, shall not exceed 20 feet. The height of all light poles in the O Office and L-B, G-B and OM Outer Business Districts shall not exceed 25 feet. Institutional uses in residential and office districts may be permitted a higher pole for accessory recreational uses as part of the approval of a conditional use permit when it can be shown that there will not be a significant impact on surrounding properties. Lighting inside or directly adjacent to a stadium which is intended to light the playing field will be the only pole lighting which may be exempted by the Planning Commission from the height and full cut off requirement. The height of a light pole shall be measured from the ground, including any bases upon which the light pole sits, up to the highest extension of the pole or structure, regardless of the position of the light source.
(2) Fixture: All light poles shall use luminares with a 90 degree full cutoff with a flat lens. Light poles under 15 feet in height using incandescent lighting or which produce light directly by the combustion of fossil fuels, such as kerosene or gas lamps may be exempted from the full cutoff requirement. When a business or public institution uses a high intensity (HID) type of bulb on an exterior wall mounted fixture, the bulb must be housed in a full cut off fixture mounted at a 90 degree plane from the ground and may not be directly visible from five feet beyond the property line.
(3) Type of Light: Lamp types for parking areas may be high pressure sodium, metal halide or light emitting diode (L.E.D). When appropriate, incandescent and lighting produced directly by the combustion of fossil fuels may be approved. Low pressure sodium and mercury vapor lamps are prohibited.
(4) Light Trespass: The height and location of poles shall be designed such that the maximum light spillage onto the ground of any adjoining private property shall not exceed .01 footcandles at any point five feet from the property line.
(5) Illumination Levels: The maximum lighting levels for parking, and outdoor activities for institutional uses in residential districts shall be established by the Planning Commission as part of the conditional use permit. The maximum lighting levels for parking areas, outdoor seating, and inventory display areas in the Office, Retail and Old Montgomery districts are set forth is Schedule 151.3213(C). Lighting levels are determined by the average maintained number of foot-candles at the ground level.
(6) Light poles used for public roadway illumination are exempt from the requirements of this § 151.3213(C).
