Printable Version

63.420 AMOUNT OF OFF-STREET PARKING

The regulations of this section identify how to determine the number of off-street parking spaces to be provided for a development.

63.421

Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces: The number of off-street parking spaces to be provided with any development shall be determined by referring to the applicable Zoning District Table in Chapter 62 of this ordinance and identifying the required off-street parking for the use under consideration.  Where the unit of measurement used to determine the number of parking spaces results in a fractional space, any such fractional space shall require one parking space.

63.422

Units of Measurement: The following definitions shall be utilized in determining the number of off-street parking spaces to be provided.  

1. Floor Area: In the case of office, merchandising and service uses, "floor area" shall mean the gross floor area used or intended to be used by tenants for their primary business activity or for service to the public as customers, patrons, clients, or patients, including areas occupied by offices, public areas, or the display of merchandise.  It shall not include areas used principally for non-public purposes, such as storage, the incidental repair, processing or packaging of merchandise, for show windows, for restrooms, areas devoted to mechanical equipment, or for dressing rooms.
2. Places of Public Assembly: In places of public assembly where patrons occupy benches, pews or other similar seating facilities, each 20 inches of seating shall be counted as one seat for the purpose of determining the requirements of off-street parking.
3. Employee(s): Reference to "employees on the largest work shift” means the maximum number of employees employed at the facility regardless of whether such person is a full time employee.  The largest work shift may be a particular day of the week, daily work shift, or peak period such as the lunch or dinner period in the case of a restaurant.
4. Capacity:  The maximum number of persons which may be accommodated by the use as defined by building or fire code requirements.

63.423

Central Business District: Developments in the Central Business District area of the Central Development Core are exempt from the provisions of providing off-street parking, except that parking and loading spaces voluntarily established shall comply with the size and location requirements of this ordinance.

63.424

Mixed Occupancy:  In the case of a development other than a business center involving more than one use, the total off-street parking required shall be the sum of the various uses computed separately.  The actual number of spaces provided on-site for a mixed use development may be modified the Joint Use provisions of paragraph 63.425.

63.425

Joint Use:  Up to 50 percent of the off-street parking spaces required for uses such as theaters, bowling alleys, dance halls or other entertainment uses, and up to 100 percent of the off-street parking spaces required for a church or auditorium or similar place of public assembly, may be supplied through use of parking facilities provided for buildings or uses with parking demand concentrated on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., such as banks, business offices, manufacturing firms or government buildings.  A properly drawn and executed legal instrument between the parties to the arrangement shall accompany the request for zoning certificate approval, with such instrument approved as to form and content by the City Attorney.

63.426

Spillover Parking: Residential developments shall provide parking in addition to the required off-street parking on a development wide basis for service vehicles and visitors based on the guidelines below.  Such parking may be provided on-street, off-street, in any type of permitted community parking facility, or in parking bays designed as part of the original development.  All proposed subdivisions shall be reviewed for consistency with these guidelines during the land subdivision review process, and all other developments shall be reviewed during Conditional Use or Zoning Certificate approvals.
