17-7-11.9 Parking.
A. General Requirements.
1. Intent. These provisions are established to accomplish the following:
a. Ensure an appropriate level of vehicle parking, loading, and storage to support a variety of uses.
b. Provide appropriate site design standards to mitigate the impacts of parking lots on adjacent uses and form districts.
c. Provide specifications for vehicular site access.
2. Applicability. This section shall apply to all new development and changes in use or intensity of use for existing development, in any form district.
a. Compliance with these required standards outlined shall be triggered by the following circumstances:
i. Development of new parking facilities, loading facilities, and driveways.
ii. Improvements to existing parking facilities, loading facilities, and driveways, including reconfiguration, enlargement, or the addition of curbs, walkways, fencing, or landscape installation.
iii. Change in use requiring a change in the amount of parking.
b. Damage or Destruction. When a use that has been damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion, or other cause is reestablished, any associated off-street parking spaces or loading facilities shall be reestablished based on the requirements of this section.
c. Site Plan Approval. Parking quantities and parking design and layout shall be approved through the site plan approval process.
B. Parking Requirements.
1. General Requirements for Parking.
a. Accessible Parking. Parking facilities accessible for persons with disabilities shall be in compliance with or better than the standards detailed in the state accessibility code, including quantity, size, location, and accessibility.
b. Approved Unlisted Uses. Upon receiving a site plan approval, occupancy certificate, or other permit application for a use not specifically addressed in Section 17-7-11.3, the city is authorized to apply off-street parking standards specified for the use deemed most similar to the proposed use. In instances where an equivalent may not be clearly determined, the city may require the applicant to submit a parking study or other evidence that will help determine the appropriate requirements.
c. The minimum required on-site parking must be provided for the use of the owner or tenant of a dwelling unit in a mixed-use project or a multifamily dwelling and their guests at no additional cost beyond the base sale or lease price of the dwelling unit.
2. Required Vehicular and Bicycle Parking.
a. Table 9.01 contains the vehicular parking requirements and Table 9.02 outlines the bicycle parking requirements.
i. Parking requirements are organized by use and form district. Parking requirements are provided by use subcategory and form district; these numbers are applicable for all of the uses within each subcategory.
ii. The parking requirement columns in Table 9.01 indicate minimum and/or maximum required off-street parking ratios, which may be subject to credits and other reductions, as detailed in this section.
iii. Table 9.02 indicates the minimum bicycle parking ratio for each given use.
iv. Computation. Off-street parking spaces shall be calculated using the following information:
(A) Area Measurements. The following units of measurements shall be utilized to calculate parking requirements:
(1) Dwelling/Rooming Unit. Parking standards for residential uses shall be computed using dwelling unit, rooming unit, or room as the unit of measure, unless otherwise stated.
(2) Net Leasable Floor Area. Unless otherwise expressly stated, parking standards for nonresidential uses shall be computed using net leasable floor area as that term is defined in Section 17-2-14.
(3) Occupancy- or Capacity-Based Measurements. Parking spaces required per available seat or per employee, student, or occupant shall be based on the greatest number of persons on the largest shift, the maximum number of students enrolled, or the maximum fire-rated capacity, whichever measurement is applicable.
(4) Bench Seating. For uses in which users occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities, each twenty-four inches of such seating shall be counted as one seat.
(B) Fractions. When computation of the number of required off-street vehicular parking spaces results in a fractional number, any result of one-half or more shall be rounded up to the next consecutive whole number. Any fractional result of less than one-half may be rounded down to the previous consecutive whole number.
(C) When there are multiple uses on a lot, spaces shall be calculated as an amount equal to the combined requirements for all uses on the lot.
