   (A)   The provision and maintenance of off-street parking and loading spaces are continuing obligations of the property owner. No building or other permit shall be issued until plans are presented that show property that is and will remain available for exclusive use as off-street parking and loading space. The subsequent use of property for which the building permit is issued shall be conditional upon the unqualified continuance and availability of the amount of parking and loading space required by this chapter.

   (B)   Parking requirements for types of buildings and uses not specifically listed herein shall be determined by the Planning Commission, based upon the requirements of comparable uses listed.

   (C)   In the event several uses occupy a single structure or parcel of land, the total requirements for off-street parking shall be the sum of the requirements of the several uses computed separately, except as specified in division (D) below.

   (D)   Owners of two or more uses, structures, or parcels of land may agree to utilize jointly the same parking and loading spaces when the hours of operation do not overlap, provided that satisfactory legal evidence is presented to the Building Inspector in the form of deed, leases or contracts to establish the joint use. Of the total number of required off- street parking spaces, when the two or more joint uses include a mix of residential and commercial, one parking space per business shall be designated as a short-term parking space for use by patrons.

   (E)   Off-street parking spaces for dwellings shall be located on the same tax lot with the structure, and within 250 feet of the dwelling unit for which the parking space is required. Garages and/or carports may be used to satisfy the off- street parking requirements for dwellings, however, one required parking space may be uncovered. Parking spaces required for other uses may be located on a separate tax lot and shall be located not farther than 500 feet from the building or use they are to serve.

   (F)   Parking and loading spaces shall not be located in a required side or rear yard, except that off street parking spaces may be located in a required side or rear yard adjacent to a street on commercial or industrial zoned land provided that the parking spaces are developed consistent with the development standards of this chapter.

   (G)   Required parking spaces shall be available for parking of operable passenger automobiles of residents, customers, patrons and employees only, and shall not be used for storage of vehicles or materials or for the parking of trucks used in conducting the business or use.

   (H)   Required parking spaces shall be improved and available for use before the final inspection is completed by the Building Inspector. An extension of time may be granted by the Building Inspector providing an irrevocable letter of credit, assignment of bank account, performance bond, or its equivalent, is posted equaling the cost to complete the improvements.

      (1)   Parallel parking, each 24 feet of uninterrupted curb;

      (2)   Forty-five degree diagonal, each 14 feet of curb;

      (3)   Sixty degree diagonal, each 11.5 feet of curb;

      (4)   Ninety degree (perpendicular) parking, each ten feet of curb;

      (5)   Curb space must be connected to the lot which contains the use;

      (6)   Parking spaces that would not obstruct a required clear vision area, nor any other parking that violates any law or street standard; and

      (7)   On-street parking spaces credited for a specific use may not be used exclusively by that use, but shall be available for general public use at all times. No signs or actions limiting general public use of on-street parking spaces are permitted.

   (J)   When the calculation of the minimum number of parking spaces required results in a fraction of a space, the applicant must round up to the nearest whole space.

   (K)   When 50 or more parking spaces are either required or proposed with a development application, a minimum of 5% of the total number of parking spaces shall be available for future installation of electric vehicle charging stations, as defined by Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 918-020-038. Fractional numbers derived from this calculation must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

   (L)   All new developments may be required to provide for joint-use access to all adjacent undeveloped or underdeveloped parcels.

   (M)   Attached or detached garages may count toward the minimum parking requirement, provided the interior dimension of the garage contains a minimum width of 12 feet and depth of 22 feet for each vehicle.
