PARKING, LOADING REQUIREMENTS

Sec. 78-270.- Off-street parking requirements.

(a)

There shall be provided in all districts at the time of erection or enlargement of any main building or structure, automobile off-street parking space with adequate access to all spaces. The number of off-street parking spaces, in conjunction with all land or building uses, shall be provided prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, as hereinafter prescribed.

(1)

Off-street parking for other than residential use and other than those spaces accommodated by payment in lieu of parking as approved by the city commission shall be either on the same lot or within 300 feet of the building it is intended to serve, measured by public right-of-way from the nearest point of the building to the nearest point of the off-street parking lot. Ownership of the parking lot must be the same as the building. Spaces may be leased from municipal lots or other lots controlled by the city or downtown development authority (DDA), provided such spaces are within 300 feet of the building and the lease is not in default. Rate and terms of the leased spaces shall be determined by the city commission. Default of a parking lease agreement will constitute a violation and enforcement by the city.

(2)

Residential off-street parking spaces shall consist of parking spaces, driveways, garage, or combination thereof and shall be located on the premises they are intended to service, and subject to the provisions of section 78-273.

(3)

Unless otherwise provided herein, off-street parking shall not be permitted in any required or non-required front yard, except for use of the driveway. Off-street parking shall be permitted within the required side or rear yard setbacks, provided a minimum five foot setback is maintained between off-street parking and the side and rear lot lines of all adjoining properties. This requirement may be waived or modified by the planning commission for sites where there is limited land area available to meet the strict requirements of this section or for sites where it is possible to provide additional landscaping or screening to buffer parking from adjoining uses and a public road right-of-way.

(4)

Any area once designated as required off-street parking shall not be changed to any other use unless and until equal facilities are provided elsewhere.

(5)

Off-street parking existing at the effective date of this chapter in connection with the operation of an existing building or use shall not be reduced to an amount less than hereinafter required for a similar new building or use.

(6)

Two or more buildings or uses may collectively provide the required off-street parking, in which case the required number of parking spaces shall not be less than the sum of the requirements for the several individual uses computed separately.

(7)

In the instance of dual function of off-street parking spaces where operating hours of buildings do not overlap, the zoning board of appeals may grant a variance from the parking requirements of this chapter.

(8)

The storage of merchandise, motor vehicles for sale, trucks, or the repair of vehicles is prohibited.

(9)

For those uses not specifically mentioned, the requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be in accord with a use which is similar in type as noted in section 78-271 below.

Units and methods of measurement. For the purpose of determining off-street parking requirements, the following units of measurement shall apply:

a.

Floor area: Where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking spaces, said unit shall mean the gross floor area, except that floor area's within the principal building used for parking, incidental service and storage, housing of mechanical equipment, heating systems and similar uses need not be included.

b.

Employees: For requirements stated in terms of employees, the calculation shall be based upon the maximum number of employees likely to be on the premises during the largest shift.

c.

Places of assembly: In stadiums, sports arenas, churches and other places of assembly in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities, each 24 inches of such shall be counted as one seat. In cases where a place of assembly has both fixed seats and open assembly area, requirements shall be computed separately for each type and added together.

d.

Fractional requirements. When units or measurements determining number of required parking spaces result in requirement of a fractional space, any fraction shall require one parking space.

(10)

Parking requirements within the B-2 central business district.

a.

Within the B-2 central business district only, parking required for principal uses permitted or special land uses permitted (Sections 78-101 and 78-102) shall be based upon a parking rate according to the following schedule:

Residential Two (2) spaces for each dwelling unit
Retail One space for each 500 sq. ft. of gross floor area
Office One space for each 500 sq. ft. of gross floor area
Medical Office One space for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area
Restaurant One space for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area

 

The above parking schedule and requirements for off-street parking shall be required for all new development. For existing development where there is a proposed intensification of use which requires additional parking, a property owner or developer will be responsible for that portion which is greater than the parking required for the current use. For example, an existing retail use which is being converted to a restaurant use shall require additional parking for that portion of restaurant parking over and above what is previously credited for retail use.

The planning commission and/or city commission may also consider previously assigned parking credits established by payment in lieu of parking or by other previously approved parking arrangements recognized by the city. It is the responsibility of the property owner or applicant to provide written documentation on the existence of prior parking credits. These credits or payments in lieu of parking may be considered for fulfilling all or a portion of the off-street parking requirements of subsection 78-270(10).

b.

Uses other than those listed above shall meet the parking requirements of section 78-271.

c.

The planning commission or city commission may, at their discretion, modify the numerical requirements for off-street parking, based on evidence provided by the applicant that indicates that another standard would be more reasonable because of the level of current or future employment and/or the level of current or future customer traffic. The planning commission or city commission may also consider parking standards such as the Institute Of Transportation Engineers (ITE) or other documented parking standards or studies, including shared parking/collective parking arrangements and/or peak/non-peak parking demand. The planning commission or city commission may also consider prior arrangements or written agreements established before December 31, 2011, which satisfies required parking for the downtown or B-2 zoning district.

d.

Within the B-2 central business district only, for all buildings which include a mix of uses, the total number of parking spaces required by each separate use shall be divided by a sharing factor according to the following matrix:

Residential
Retail
Office
Residential 1 1.2 1.4
Retail/Restaurant 1.2 1 1.2
Office 1.4 1.2 1

 

(modified from SmartCode)

For projects involving more than two land uses, the sharing factor shall be based upon the highest sharing factor of all land uses. A minimum floor area of at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the total building area for each shared land use shall be required in order to be eligible for a sharing factor.

e.

In the interest of creating a viable central business district and to enhance the goal of separation of pedestrian and vehicular requirements, it is the goal of the City of Plymouth to encourage development of strategically located parking lots. These strategically located parking lots are developed largely out of public support to discourage the indiscriminate location or small dysfunctional parking spaces and the creation of a compatible and aesthetic arrangement of land uses. In keeping with this policy, the provision of off-street parking requirements as herein provided may be waived or modified by resolution of the city commission.

In lieu thereof, the city commission may determine that the number of spaces normally required at the time of erection, enlargement or change of use of any building or structure requiring off-street parking space pursuant to section 78-270(a)(10), may be provided in the form of lease payments, special assessments, or other forms of payment in lieu of parking according to policies established by resolution of the city commission. In establishing such policy, the city commission shall take into account the current inventory and future needs of B-2 parking, as well as the benefit to the private owners and to the public from such parking which would subsequently be provided by the city. In implementing such policy, the city commission shall assure that the future needs for parking in the B-2 shall be adequately met by such alternative fee arrangements in lieu of parking. Payments in lieu of parking requirements are non-refundable.

f.

Requirements for off-street parking may be waived or modified as part of a planned unit development (PUD).

g.

Parking within the B-2 zoning district shall comply with barrier free/accessible parking requirements of the State Construction Code.

h.

Within the B-2 zoning district, a change of use or an intensification of land use which requires additional parking shall not be entitled to the non-conforming use status as provided in section 78-352 or section 78-353 and assumed parking exemptions. Such change of use shall be required to provide parking in accordance with this section.

(b)

Off-street parking for other than residential use and other than those spaces accommodated by payment in lieu of parking as approved by the city commission shall be either on the same lot or within 300 feet of the building it is intended to serve, measured by public right-of-way from the nearest point of the building to the nearest point of the off-street parking lot. When any required off-street parking is provided, not upon the same lot, but a lot within 300 feet of the building it is intended to serve, documentation meeting the requirements for recording at the register of deeds, shall be provided reflecting that the ownership of the realty (upon which parking is located) has given to the owner of the realty (upon which the building requiring the parking is located), a permanent right of use for the required number of parking spaces.
