1107.0600 Off-street parking Schedule "D".

   Schedule "D" uses have widely varying parking demand characteristics, making it impossible to specify a single off-street parking standard.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)
   1107.0601 Upon receiving a development application for a use subject to "Schedule D" standards, the Planning Director must apply the off-street parking standard specified for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use or establish maximum off-street parking requirements on the basis of a parking study prepared by the applicant.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)
   1107.0602 The study must include estimates of parking demand based on recommendations of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), or other acceptable estimates as approved by the Planning Director and include other reliable data collected from uses or combinations of uses that are the same as or comparable with the proposed use. Comparability will be determined by density, scale, bulk, area, type of activity, and location. The study must document the source of data used to develop the recommendations.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)

1107.1000 Off-street loading schedule.

   Off-street loading spaces must be provided in accordance with the following minimum ratios.

(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)

1107.1500 Use of off-street parking and loading areas.

   Required off-street parking and loading areas are to be used solely for loading, unloading, and the parking of licensed, motor vehicles in operating condition. Required spaces may not be used for the outdoor display of goods for sale or lease or for long-term storage of vehicles, boats, motor homes, campers, mobile homes, or building materials.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)

1107.2000 Sight distance setback.

   No fence, sign structure or planting which obstructs visibility between 42 inches and 84 inches above grade shall be installed or maintained within 18 feet of the curb or pavement edge of any street.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 166-24. Passed 4-10-24.)

1107.0101 Purpose.

   The regulations of this chapter are intended to ensure that the off-street parking, loading, and access demands of various land uses will be met without adversely affecting surrounding areas. Access includes pedestrians and bicyclists as well as vehicles. The regulations are also intended to help maintain a safe and efficient transportation system. In recognition of the fact that different approaches will be appropriate in different areas of the City, the regulations allow flexibility in addressing vehicle parking, loading, and access demand.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)

1107.0102 Applicability.

   A.   New Development. The parking, loading and access standards of this chapter apply to all new buildings constructed and all new uses established in all zoning districts.
   B.   Expansions and Substantial Modifications. The parking, loading and access standards of this chapter apply when an existing structure or use is expanded or enlarged, whether through the addition of dwelling units, floor area, seating capacity, employees or other units of measurement used for establishing off-street parking and loading requirements.
      1.   Additional off-street parking and loading spaces to meet maximum ratios are allowed only to serve the entire building or use.
      2.   If the number of parking spaces on a site at the time of expansion or substantial modification exceeds the maximum ratios of this chapter, no additional spaces will be allowed, except through the Alternative Parking Plan provisions of Section 1107.1400.
   C.   Requirements for Change in Use. If a change in use causes an increase in the allowed number of parking, stacking, or loading spaces, 100 percent of such additional spaces may be provided in accordance with the requirements of this Zoning Code; except as required in the provision of Sec. 1107.1000 , Sec. 1107.1600 and Sec. 1107.1700 .
   D.   Applicability in the Event of Damage or Destruction of Existing Use.
      1.   When a conforming or nonconforming building or use that does not comply with current off-street parking and/or loading regulations is damaged and the cost of reconstruction does not exceed 75 percent of the assessed value at the time such damage occurred, the building may be constructed with the same number of parking and loading spaces that existed at the time of damage or destruction. However, when the cost of reconstruction exceeds 75 percent of the assessed value at the time such damage occurred, off-street parking and loading spaces may be provided in the amount allowed for new construction on the date the application for reconstruction is approved.
      2.   Notwithstanding the preceding, within a Historic (-HO) or Pedestrian-Oriented (-PO) Overlay Zoning District, any damaged building or use of 5,000 square feet or less that is nonconforming only in the amount of off-street parking and/or loading space that is provided, may be reconstructed (if authorized by Sections 1114.0205C. or 1114.0305B., without providing additional off-street parking and/or loading.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

1107.0103 No Additions Above Maximums.

   The number of parking and loading spaces existing on a site may not be above the maximum requirements of this chapter except by an Alternative Access and Parking Plan in Section 1107.1400.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

1107.0104 Effect on Nonconforming Status.

   A building or use that was legally established is not deemed nonconforming solely as a result of providing more than the maximum number of off-street parking or loading spaces specified in this chapter.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

1107.0105 Consultation with Division of Transportation.

   Before making any decision or issuing any approval under this chapter, the Planning Director shall first refer the matter to the Division of Transportation, which shall make recommendations that the Planning Director shall give due consideration in making his or her decision.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)

1107.0201 CD, Downtown Commercial District.

   A.   Parking Exemption. Due to the unique characteristics of the central business district, including higher land values, integration with public transportation, and the presence of parking garages, allowed uses in the CD zoning district are exempt from providing off-street parking spaces.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 247-20. Passed 7-13-20; Ord. 615-22. Passed 11-22-22.)

1107.0202 Central-City Special Parking District.

   Within the Central-City Special Parking District, which includes all of Census Tracts 16, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34 and 37, the maximum off-street parking requirement for multi-dwelling units created through rehabilitation or conversion of an existing structure will be one space per dwelling unit, plus one space per 10 dwelling units for visitor parking.

1107.0204 Locally Designated Historic Districts.

   No additional off-street parking or loading spaces are required for rehabilitation or reuse of existing structures within locally designated historic districts. For new construction within locally designated historic districts, maximum off-street parking ratios are reduced by 50 percent from the otherwise applicable standards of this Chapter.
(Ord. 247-20. Passed 7-13-20; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

1107.0205 -PO, Pedestrian-Oriented Overlay District.

   A.   Non-residential Parking
   Due to increased pedestrian connectivity and a lesser need for parking, non-residential uses in the PO zoning overlay district are exempt from providing off-street parking spaces.
   B.   Residential Parking
   The maximum number of off-street parking spaces allowed is one space per residential unit, plus one space per 10 dwelling units for visitor parking.
   C.   Residential Parking Exception
   No off-street parking spaces are required for residential building projects of 10 units or less.
   D.   For non-residential and residential uses in the Pedestrian-Oriented Overlay, the maximum number of parking spaces permitted is the number listed as the maximum number of off-street parking spaces in Sec. 1107.0300, 1107.0400, or 1107.0500 for the subject use.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 247-20. Passed 7-13-20; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

(Ord. 247-20. Passed 7-13-20.)

1107.0301 Applicability.

   Off-street parking spaces must be provided in accordance with the maximum ratios of the following, Schedule A. In lieu of complying with the maximum standards of Schedule A, an applicant may request approval of an Alternative Parking Plan, pursuant to Section 1107.1400.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

1107.0302 Maximums.

   No use may provide more than any of the maximum off-street parking ratios of Schedule A, except through approval of an Alternative Parking Plan pursuant to Section 1104.0100. This provision notwithstanding, Alternative Parking Plan approval is not required for four or fewer parking spaces. This provision is not to be interpreted as requiring Alternative Parking Plan approval for, or the removal of, parking spaces that legally exist on a site.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 419-25. Passed 9-9-25.)

1107.0303 How to use Off-Street Parking Schedules A, B, C and D.

   Look up the use category in Schedule A to find the maximum number of parking spaces allowed. Schedule A mirrors the uses found in the Use Table of Section 1104.0100. Some uses in Schedule A utilize a formula to determine the number of allowed parking spaces. These formulas are given in Schedule B for selected commercial uses and Schedule C for selected industrial uses. Schedule D gives the procedure to use when a study must be used to determine parking needs.

1107.1407 Eligible Alternatives.

   A.   General. The Planning Director is authorized to approve off-street parking spaces in excess of allowed maximums or any of the parking increases and access alternatives in this subsection if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that the proposed plan:
      1.   Will not adversely affect surrounding neighborhoods;
      2.   Will not adversely affect traffic congestion and circulation; and
      3.   Will have a positive effect on the economic viability or appearance of the project or on the environment.
   B.   Shared Parking. It is the City's stated intention to encourage efficient use of land and resources by allowing users to share off-street parking facilities whenever feasible. The Planning Director may authorize an increase in the number of allowed off-street parking spaces for multiple use developments or for uses that are located near one another and that have different peak parking demands or different operating hours. Shared parking arrangements are subject to the following standards.
      1.    Location. Shared off-street parking spaces may be located no further than 1,320 feet from the buildings and uses they are intended to serve, measured along the shortest legal, practical walking route. The Planning Director may waive this distance limitation if adequate assurances are offered that adequate van or shuttle service will be operated between the shared lot and the principal use. If the shared parking spaces are located off-site, they must comply with the off-site provisions of Section 1107.1407C.
      2.    Zoning Classification. Shared parking areas are accessory to the principal uses that the parking spaces serve. Shared parking areas require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses served by the shared parking area, unless approved as a Special Use pursuant to Section 1111.0700.
      3.    Required Study and Analysis. The applicant must submit a shared parking analysis to the Planning Director that clearly demonstrates the feasibility of shared parking. The study must address, at a minimum, the size and type of the proposed development, the composition of tenants, the anticipated rate of parking turnover and the anticipated peak parking and traffic loads for all uses that will be sharing off-street parking spaces.
      4.    Shared Parking Agreement. A shared parking plan, assuring the retention of shared parking spaces, must be enforced through written agreement among the owners of record. The agreement must be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned and approved as to form and execution by the Law Department. The agreement must be recorded as required in Section 1107.1405. The parties to the agreement may revoke the shared parking agreement only if the otherwise required off-street parking spaces are provided on-site or if an Alternative Access and Parking Plan is approved by the Planning Director.
   C.   Off-Site Parking. The Planning Director may permit all or a portion of the allowed off-street parking spaces to be located on a remote and separate lot from the lot on which the principal use is located, subject to the standards of this section.
      1.   Location. No off-site parking space may be located more than 1,320 feet from the primary entrance of the use served, measured along the shortest legal, practical walking route. This distance limitation may be waived by the Planning Director if adequate assurances are offered that van or shuttle service will be operated between the shared lot and the principal use.
      2.    Zoning Classification. Off-site parking areas are accessory to the principal uses that the parking spaces serve. Off-site parking areas require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses served by the shared parking area, unless approved as a Special Use pursuant to Section 1111.0700.
      3.    Off-Site Parking Agreement. An off-site parking plan, assuring the retention of off-site parking spaces, must be enforced through written agreement among the owners of record. The agreement must be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned and approved as to form and execution by the Law Department. The agreement must be recorded as required in Section 1107.1405. The parties to the agreement may revoke the agreement only if the otherwise required off-street parking spaces are or if an Alternative Access and Parking Plan is approved by the Planning Director.
   D.   Bicycle Parking. The Planning Director may authorize an increase in the number of allowed offstreet parking spaces for developments or uses that make special provisions to accommodate bicyclists. Examples of accommodations include enclosed bicycle lockers, employee shower facilities and dressing areas for employees. A reduction in parking may not be granted merely for providing outdoor bicycle spaces.
   E.   Transit Stops. The Planning Director may authorize up to a 20 percent increase in the number of allowed off-street parking spaces for developments that provide transit stops if the following conditions are met:
      1.    The transit stop must be designed to be a waiting area for transit riders, clearly identified as such, and open to the public at large;
      2.    The transit stop must be designed as an integral part of the development project, with direct access to the waiting area from the development site; and
      3.    The transit waiting area must be designed to accommodate passengers in a covered waiting area, with a capacity of at least five persons and must include internal lighting and other features that encourage use of the facility, such as temperature control within the waiting area.
      4.    The transit stop shall be owned and/or maintained as part of the project unless other arrangements are made to the satisfaction of TARTA.
   F.   Pervious Parking. The Planning Director may authorize all or a portion of allowed off-street parking spaces (not to include drive aisles) to be provided on permeable/porous surfaces, subject to the following criteria.
      1.   The findings of the Planning Director shall indicate what number or percentage of allowed parking spaces may be so provided.
      2.    The permeable/porous surface shall meet the approval of the Division of Engineering Services, Division of Environmental Services, Fire Prevention Bureau and Division of Transportation.
      3.    Parking spaces, aisles, etc. shall be marked by flags, biodegradable dyes or paints, or some other method that does not kill grass or plants.
      4.    Permeable/porous surfaces shall be adequately drained.
      5.    Permeable/porous parking areas shall be maintained by the property owner for their intended function for the duration of its life.
