OFF-STREET PARKING

AND LOADING

(2) Uses not specifically listed in the table under division (B) below shall comply with the requirements for the most similar use listed in the table under division (B) below, unless the applicant proves to the satisfaction of the Zoning Officer that an alternative standard should be used for that use.

(3) Where a proposed use contains or includes more than one type of use, the number of parking spaces required shall be the sum of the parking requirements for each separate use, except as may be allowed under division (B) below.

(4) Where the calculation of required parking spaces does not result in a whole number, the calculation shall be rounded to the closest whole number.

(B) Conditional reduction in parking spaces.

(1) To minimize impervious surfaces, while ensuring adequate parking, to recognize unique circumstances may justify a reduction in parking.

(2) The Zoning Hearing Board may permit a reduction, through the special exception process of § 155.028 of this chapter, of the number of parking spaces required to be initially developed; provided, each of the following conditions are met.

(a) The applicant shall demonstrate to the Board, using existing and projected (five years) employment, customer, resident or other relevant data, that a reduction in the off-street parking spaces to be initially developed as required by division (A) above is warranted.

§ 155.196 GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR OFF-STREET PARKING,

(A) General. Parking spaces and accessways shall be laid out to result in safe and orderly use, and to fully take into account all of the following: vehicular access onto and off the site, vehicular movement within the site, loading areas, pedestrian patterns and any drive-thru facilities. No parking area shall cause a public nuisance, hazard or impediment to traffic off the lot.

(B) Existing parking.

(1) Structures and uses in existence at the effective date of this chapter shall not be required to add additional parking spaces to meet the requirements of this subchapter unless the general type of use is significantly changed or the use is expanded.

(2) Any parking spaces serving such pre-existing structures or uses at the time of adoption of this subchapter shall not in the future be reduced in number below the number required by this chapter.

(C) Change in use or expansion. If a building or use significantly changes in type of use or expands by a measure used in this subchapter to determine parking need (such as floor area, maximum number of employees, number of dwellings units or seating capacity), and if such expansion or change would increase the number of required parking spaces by at least 10% or 25 spaces, whichever is less, then the use shall provide the total number of parking spaces that would be required if the entire existing and proposed uses would be newly developed under this subchapter, instead of only being required to provide the additional uses for the change or expansion.

(D) Continuing obligation. All required numbers of parking spaces shall be available as long as the use or building which the spaces serve still exist, and such spaces shall not be reduced in number below the minimum required by this chapter.

(E) Conflict with other uses. No required parking area shall be used for any other use (such as storage or display of materials) that interferes with the area’s availability for parking to serve a use.

(F) Location of parking. Required off-street parking spaces shall be on the same lot or abutting lot with the principal use served, unless the applicant proves to the satisfaction of the Zoning Officer that a permanent method of providing the spaces is available using area of a lot within 250 feet of the principal use being served.

(G) Joint parking lots.

(1) Two or more uses may provide their required parking in a common parking lot; provided that, the total number of spaces in such lot shall not be less than the sum of the spaces required for each use individually (except as provided below).

(2) Under § 155.195(B) of this chapter, the applicant may prove that parking requirements should be reduced because the uses would have: different peak parking times or have overlapping customers.

(3) If two separate principal business uses on separate abutting lots develop a shared driveway system and an integrated shared parking lot, the number of required parking spaces for each use shall be reduced by 10%.

(Ord. passed 2-4-1991, § 602)
