06 - Parking
These regulations are established to provide for off-street parking of motor vehicles related to the various land uses in the City. The purpose of these regulations is to ensure properly designed parking areas with adequate numbers of parking spaces in order to reduce traffic congestion, promote business and enhance public safety.
(Ord. No. 07-03, § 4(Exh. A), 4-11-2007)
(a)
Modifications to parking facilities. No existing parking facility shall be restriped or modified with respect to layout, aisle width, numbers or sizes of spaces, street access, or any other physical characteristic without prior review and approval by the Development Services Director and the City Engineer.
(b)
Location of off-street parking.
(1)
Required parking facilities shall be located on the same building site and conveniently proximate to the uses they serve except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.06.040 and 9.06.090.
(2)
Property within the ultimate right-of-way of a street, either public or private, shall not be included in provision of the minimum parking requirements.
(c)
Accessibility. All required off-street parking spaces shall be designed, located, constructed and maintained so as to be fully and independently usable and accessible at all times.
(d)
Usability.
(1)
The required off-street parking facilities shall not be used for any purpose which would at any time preclude the use of the area for the parking of motor vehicles unless allowed by a special event permit or temporary use permit.
(2)
Unless otherwise provided by an approved discretionary permit, no owner or tenant shall lease, rent or otherwise make unavailable to intended users any off-street parking spaces required by this Section.
(e)
Access to arterial highways.
(1)
Wherever access from a parking area is to an arterial highway as designated in the General Plan circulation element, parking spaces, driveways and maneuvering areas shall be designed so that motor vehicles must enter the arterial highway while traveling in a forward direction.
(2)
Vehicular access location, design of the parking lot interface and sight distance parameters at any access to an arterial highway shall require the approval of the City Engineer.
(f)
Maximum grade.
(1)
Whenever access is taken from a street, alley or driveway to an off-street parking area serving industrial, commercial or professional uses, public or community facilities, or dwelling units, the driveway or other vehicular accessway shall have a maximum grade of plus six percent (+6%) or minus two percent (-2%), measured from the street, alley or driveway grade along the driveway centerline.
(2)
The maximum grade in Subsection (f)(1) will generally provide adequate sight distance at street level and prevent vehicles from dragging on extreme grade breaks. Exceptions may be approved by the City Engineer, where physical design prevents such extreme grade breaks and provides safe distance.
(3)
Off-street parking spaces and all abutting parking aisles shall have a maximum grade of plus or minus two percent ( 2%). Said grade shall be measured across the parking space and the abutting parking aisle in any direction.
(4)
Exceptions to maximum grades established in this Section may be permitted, on a case-by-case basis, subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer.
(g)
Parking area notices and directional instructions.

(2)
Each parking notice shall not exceed four square feet in area.
(3)
Such parking notices may contain the name of the owner or occupant of the property and only such words and symbols that are directly related or essential to parking, enforcement or the direction of vehicular traffic within the parking area.
(h)
Markings.
(1)
In all parking facilities, individual stalls shall be marked with hairpin lines four inches to six inches wide forming an elongated "U" between 12 inches and 24 inches wide around the centerline of each stall, except that parking facilities serving not more than two dwelling units on a single lot need not be marked. The space widths set forth in this Subsection shall be the overall width of the stall, including the areas required for marking.
(2)
In all parking facilities the aisles, approach lanes, and maneuvering areas shall be clearly marked to expedite traffic movement. Once a parking facility has been marked in accordance with the approved site plan, the markings shall be permanently maintained.
(3)
Changes. If any changes to existing markings are approved by the City Engineer through any discretionary process, existing markings shall first be ground out or sand blasted prior to re-marking the parking area. Painting over existing markings without first grinding out or sand blasting such that the previous markings are not visible is not permitted. Re-marking of the parking area according to the approved, revised site plan shall be done in accordance with this Section.
(4)
Paving. All permanent parking spaces, driveways and maneuvering areas shall be paved and permanently maintained with asphalt concrete, cement concrete or other all-weather, non-erodible hard surfacing. Temporary parking spaces, driveways and maneuvering areas may use decomposed granite or other stable, all-weather surfacing, with prior City approval.
(i)
Lighting. All parking area lighting shall be designed to minimize lighting spillover onto adjacent properties. A lighting plan denoting foot candle distribution may be required for any development proposal.
(j)
Change or increase in use of property. Whenever the occupancy or use of any property is changed to a different use, or the existing use is altered, enlarged, expanded or intensified, parking to meet the requirements of this Section shall be provided for the new use or occupancy.

(Ord. No. 07-03, § 4(Exh. A), 4-11-2007; Ord. No. 07-07, §§ 2, 7—9, 11-14-2007; Ord. No. 09-03, § 8, 3-25-2009; Ord. No. 11-02, § 13, 4-27-2011; Ord. No. 24-07, § 23, 9-11-2024)
(a)
General. Parking facilities may be provided jointly subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section and approval of a site development permit pursuant to Section 9.08.170, and, when an inadequate supply of required parking is provided on site, an alternative development standard pursuant to Section 9.08.050. The joint use/shared parking plan shall include:
(1)
Written verification from the involved property owners and tenants acknowledging acceptance of and compliance with the requirements of the joint use/shared parking plan;
(2)
A proposed means of providing notice of the joint use/shared parking plan to all future property owners, tenants and other users;
(3)
A proposed means to amend the agreement to include future users/tenants or changes based upon participant modifications to uses;
(4)
A site plan showing all parking spaces, building square footage and tenant spaces within the complex or area participating;
(5)
A joint use/shared parking matrix with the following information:
a.
The number of parking stalls available on-site (parking supply);
b.
Project building and tenant addresses;
c.
Gross square footage of all buildings and tenant spaces;
d.
The name, type of use and the days and hours of operation for each tenant;
e.
The number of parking stalls required for each tenant based on each tenant's gross square footage and type of use;
f.
The hourly parking demand for all tenants on:
1.
Weekdays (Monday through Friday);
2.
Saturdays; and
3.
Sundays.
g.
A comparison between hourly parking demand and the parking supply to show that demand will not exceed parking supply.
(b)
Joint usage where there is an overall deficiency in the number of spaces provided. Parking facilities for adjoining uses within shopping centers for which the hours of parking demand are substantially different from each other may be provided jointly. Such joint usage shall be subject to:
(1)
The granting of an alternative development standard by the City; and
(2)
The satisfaction of the following conditions:
a.
Absence of conflicts. Sufficient evidence as identified and documented in a parking study shall be submitted demonstrating that no substantial conflict in the principal hours or periods of peak demands of the structures or uses for which the joint use is proposed will exist.
b.
Allocation of spaces. The number of parking spaces which may be allocated to the requirements for each structure or use involved shall not exceed the number of spaces reasonably anticipated to be available during the differing hours of operation.
c.
Location. The parking facilities designated for joint use shall be contiguous to all the structures and uses served and not more than 200 feet from each shared use. A pedestrian pathway is required to provide a means for pedestrian linkage between immediately adjacent land uses and uses within the parking facility.
d.
Deed recorded agreements. The city may require a written agreement, approved by the City Attorney as to form and content, to be executed by all parties concerned and filed in the office of the County Recorder. Such agreement shall be a covenant running with the land or other enforceable restriction and shall assure the continued availability of the number of spaces designated for joint use at the periods of time indicated.
(c)
Joint usage where there is no overall deficiency in the number of spaces provided. If two or more adjoining uses are under common ownership, or if the ownership is not common and the respective owners thereof have acquired recordable easements appurtenant for off-street parking approved by the City Attorney as to form and content, such buildings or uses collectively may 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.
(d)
Mixed land use developments (shared parking). Shared parking may be considered in determining the specific number of parking spaces that can be used to serve two or more individual land uses without conflict or encroachment. Any program that would use a shared parking concept may be granted by the Planning Commission through the alternative development standards process if it determines in any individual use that the following findings can be satisfied:
(1)
Variations in the peak accumulations of parking vehicles as the result of different activity patterns of mixed land use will not result in a deficiency of parking spaces (by hour, by day, by season).
(2)
There is a relationship among the land uses that result in two or more land use activities with a single vehicle trip to the development.
In preparing a traffic/parking study for consideration by the Planning Commission, a methodology acceptable to the Development Services Director and City Engineer is to be used.

Such parking notices may contain the name of the owner or occupant of the property and only such words and symbols that are directly related or essential to parking, enforcement or the direction of vehicular traffic within the parking area.
(h)
Markings.
(1)
In all parking facilities, individual stalls shall be marked with hairpin lines four inches to six inches wide forming an elongated "U" between 12 inches and 24 inches wide around the centerline of each stall, except that parking facilities serving not more than two dwelling units on a single lot need not be marked. The space widths set forth in this Subsection shall be the overall width of the stall, including the areas required for marking.
(2)
In all parking facilities the aisles, approach lanes, and maneuvering areas shall be clearly marked to expedite traffic movement. Once a parking facility has been marked in accordance with the approved site plan, the markings shall be permanently maintained.
(3)
Changes. If any changes to existing markings are approved by the City Engineer through any discretionary process, existing markings shall first be ground out or sand blasted prior to re-marking the parking area. Painting over existing markings without first grinding out or sand blasting such that the previous markings are not visible is not permitted. Re-marking of the parking area according to the approved, revised site plan shall be done in accordance with this Section.
(4)
Paving. All permanent parking spaces, driveways and maneuvering areas shall be paved and permanently maintained with asphalt concrete, cement concrete or other all-weather, non-erodible hard surfacing. Temporary parking spaces, driveways and maneuvering areas may use decomposed granite or other stable, all-weather surfacing, with prior City approval.
(i)
Lighting. All parking area lighting shall be designed to minimize lighting spillover onto adjacent properties. A lighting plan denoting foot candle distribution may be required for any development proposal.
(j)
Change or increase in use of property. Whenever the occupancy or use of any property is changed to a different use, or the existing use is altered, enlarged, expanded or intensified, parking to meet the requirements of this Section shall be provided for the new use or occupancy.

(Ord. No. 07-03, § 4(Exh. A), 4-11-2007; Ord. No. 07-07, §§ 2, 7—9, 11-14-2007; Ord. No. 09-03, § 8, 3-25-2009; Ord. No. 11-02, § 13, 4-27-2011; Ord. No. 24-07, § 23, 9-11-2024)
(a)
General. Parking facilities may be provided jointly subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section and approval of a site development permit pursuant to Section 9.08.170, and, when an inadequate supply of required parking is provided on site, an alternative development standard pursuant to Section 9.08.050. The joint use/shared parking plan shall include:
(1)
Written verification from the involved property owners and tenants acknowledging acceptance of and compliance with the requirements of the joint use/shared parking plan;
(2)
A proposed means of providing notice of the joint use/shared parking plan to all future property owners, tenants and other users;
(3)
A proposed means to amend the agreement to include future users/tenants or changes based upon participant modifications to uses;
(4)
A site plan showing all parking spaces, building square footage and tenant spaces within the complex or area participating;
(5)
A joint use/shared parking matrix with the following information:
a.
The number of parking stalls available on-site (parking supply);
b.
Project building and tenant addresses;
c.
Gross square footage of all buildings and tenant spaces;
d.
The name, type of use and the days and hours of operation for each tenant;
e.
The number of parking stalls required for each tenant based on each tenant's gross square footage and type of use;
f.
The hourly parking demand for all tenants on:
1.
Weekdays (Monday through Friday);
2.
Saturdays; and
3.
Sundays.
g.
A comparison between hourly parking demand and the parking supply to show that demand will not exceed parking supply.
(b)
Joint usage where there is an overall deficiency in the number of spaces provided. Parking facilities for adjoining uses within shopping centers for which the hours of parking demand are substantially different from each other may be provided jointly. Such joint usage shall be subject to:
(1)
The granting of an alternative development standard by the City; and
(2)
The satisfaction of the following conditions:
a.
Absence of conflicts. Sufficient evidence as identified and documented in a parking study shall be submitted demonstrating that no substantial conflict in the principal hours or periods of peak demands of the structures or uses for which the joint use is proposed will exist.
b.
Allocation of spaces. The number of parking spaces which may be allocated to the requirements for each structure or use involved shall not exceed the number of spaces reasonably anticipated to be available during the differing hours of operation.
c.
Location. The parking facilities designated for joint use shall be contiguous to all the structures and uses served and not more than 200 feet from each shared use. A pedestrian pathway is required to provide a means for pedestrian linkage between immediately adjacent land uses and uses within the parking facility.
d.
Deed recorded agreements. The city may require a written agreement, approved by the City Attorney as to form and content, to be executed by all parties concerned and filed in the office of the County Recorder. Such agreement shall be a covenant running with the land or other enforceable restriction and shall assure the continued availability of the number of spaces designated for joint use at the periods of time indicated.
(c)
Joint usage where there is no overall deficiency in the number of spaces provided. If two or more adjoining uses are under common ownership, or if the ownership is not common and the respective owners thereof have acquired recordable easements appurtenant for off-street parking approved by the City Attorney as to form and content, such buildings or uses collectively may 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.
(d)
Mixed land use developments (shared parking). Shared parking may be considered in determining the specific number of parking spaces that can be used to serve two or more individual land uses without conflict or encroachment. Any program that would use a shared parking concept may be granted by the Planning Commission through the alternative development standards process if it determines in any individual use that the following findings can be satisfied:
(1)
Variations in the peak accumulations of parking vehicles as the result of different activity patterns of mixed land use will not result in a deficiency of parking spaces (by hour, by day, by season).
(2)
There is a relationship among the land uses that result in two or more land use activities with a single vehicle trip to the development.
In preparing a traffic/parking study for consideration by the Planning Commission, a methodology acceptable to the Development Services Director and City Engineer is to be used.
