Woodland Park City Zoning Code
§ 22-20.2
Parking.
a.
Location. Parking is not permitted in front yards.
b.
Cross Easements. Cross easements are permitted.
c.
Off-Site Parking. Off-site parking is permitted within eight hundred (800) feet of the subject property.
d.
Parking. Parking requirements shall be as provided in the Schedule of Parking Requirements, adopted in subsection 22-4.6.
e.
(Reduction in) Cumulative Parking Requirements. Cumulative parking requirements for mixed-use occupancies or shared facilities may be reduced where it can be determined that the peak requirements of the several occupancies occur at different times (either daily or seasonally). The submittal requirements for a parking reduction request vary according to the method used to determine the parking reduction. The reduction methods and accompanying submittal requirements are outlined in this section. In all cases, a shared parking operations plan must be prepared to the satisfaction of the Department of Planning showing that parking spaces most conveniently serve the land uses intended, directional signage is provided if appropriate, and pedestrian links are direct and clear. On-street parking spaces wholly adjacent to the property may be included in the required minimum. Three (3) methods for determining a parking reduction are as follows:
1.
Intermittent or Seasonal Nonconflicting Uses.
(a)
When required parking reductions are predicted as a result of sharing between intermittent or seasonal uses with nonconflicting parking demands (e.g. a church and a bank), then the reduction can be considered for approval by the appropriate Board without demand calculations or a parking study. Individual spaces identified on a site plan for shared users shall not be shared by more than one user at the same time.
(b)
If a privately owned parking facility is to serve two (2) or more separate properties, then a "Shared Parking Agreement" shall be filed with the Borough for consideration by the Board. Unless explicitly stated to the contrary, the property owner of the parking facility accepts responsibility for operating, maintaining and accepting liability for personal injury and property damage.
2.
Parking Occupancy Rate Table.
(a)
When the parking reduction has been shown to be feasible by using the demand calculations as determined by Table 1 below, Parking Occupancy Rates, the applicant shall submit a parking demand summary sheet showing the process for calculating the reduction as outlined in this section.
(b)
The minimum number of parking spaces that are to be provided and maintained for each use shall be determined based on standard methods for determining minimum parking supply at a particular site.
(c)
The gross minimum number of parking spaces shall be multiplied by the "occupancy rate" as determined by a study of local conditions (or as found in Table 1), for each use for the weekday night, daytime and evening periods, and weekend night, daytime and evening periods respectively.
(d)
The gross minimum numbers of parking spaces for each of the purposes referred to for each time period shall be added to produce the aggregate gross minimum numbers of parking spaces for each time period.
(e)
The greatest of the aggregative gross minimum numbers of parking spaces for each period shall be determined.
