§ 13.16

(a)

In any district zoned for residential uses when a minimum building site width is required, such required width shall be determined by measuring the distance between the sidelines of the building site along a line parallel to a straight line joining the foremost points of the side property lines, and 20 feet, at the closest point, from the ultimate street right-of-way line. However, in the case of a panhandle building site or a building site not abutting a street or alley and gaining access by an easement, the width of the building site shall be determined by measuring the distance across the building site along a straight line in any direction.

(b)

In any district other than a residential district, when a minimum building site width is required such required width shall be determined by measuring the distance between the points of intersection of the side property lines with the ultimate front street right-of-way line.

CHAPTER 13.18. - OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS

Sec. 13.18.010. - Off-street parking regulations.

These regulations apply to all districts and specific plan areas, unless otherwise specified.

(Ord. No. 03-03, § 5(18.30.500), 4-16-2003; Ord. No. 11-01, § 4(Exh. 7), 1-19-2011)

Sec. 13.18.020. - Intent.

The intent of the off-street parking regulations is to provide for the on-site, off-street parking of motor vehicles that are attracted by the use or uses on the premises. The parking facilities for motor vehicles required by this section are assumed to be the minimum, which will be required by the various land use categories. However, the parking and maneuvering facilities required by this section should not be used as a fixed standard to determine the amount of off-street parking which may be adequate for any specific use. If the decision maker determines minimum parking standards are inadequate for a specific project, he may require the developer, owner or operator of any specific use to provide the adequate parking even though such addition may be in excess of the minimum requirements set forth in this section. It is intended that these regulations will result in the installation of properly designed parking facilities of sufficient capacity to minimize traffic congestion, enhance public safety, generally provide for the parking of motor vehicles at locations other than on the streets, and for safe passage of pedestrians to and from parked vehicles.

(Ord. No. 03-03, § 5(18.30.505), 4-16-2003; Ord. No. 11-01, § 4(Exh. 7), 1-19-2011)

Sec. 13.18.030. - General requirements.

(a)

Location of off-street parking.

(1)

Required parking facilities shall be located on the same building site and conveniently proximate to the use or uses they serve.

(2)

Property within the ultimate right-of-way of a street (either public or private) shall not be included in provision of the minimum parking.

(b)

Accessibility. All required off-street parking spaces shall be designed, located, constructed and maintained so as to be fully and independently usable and accessible at all times.

(c)

Usability.

(1)

The required off-street parking facilities and driveways shall not be used for any purpose, which at any time would preclude the use of the area for the temporary storage of motor vehicles.

(2)

Unless otherwise provided by an approved discretionary permit, no owner or tenant shall lease, rent or otherwise make unavailable to intended users any off-street parking spaces required by this chapter.

(d)

Access to arterial highways.

(1)

Wherever access to a parking area is off an arterial highway designated on the Master Plan of Arterial Highways, parking spaces, driveways, and maneuvering areas shall be designed so that motor vehicles may enter the arterial highway traveling in a forward direction.

(2)

Vehicular access to arterial highways designated on the Master Plan of Arterial Highways will be permitted only in accordance with specifically approved driveway locations and access design.

(e)

Maximum grades permitted.

(1)

Whenever access is taken from a street, alley or driveway to an off-street parking area serving four or less dwelling units, the driveway or other vehicular accessway shall have a maximum grade of plus ten percent or minus six percent, measured from the street, alley or driveway grade along the driveway centerline, for a distance of not less than 18 feet from the street, alley or driveway right-of-way line.

(2)

Whenever access is taken from a street, alley or driveway to an off-street parking area serving industrial, commercial or professional uses, public or community facilities, or five or more dwelling units, the driveway or other vehicular accessway shall have a maximum grade of plus ten percent or a minus two percent, measured from the street, alley or driveway grade along the driveway centerline for a distance of not more than 18 feet from the street, alley or driveway right-of-way line.

(3)

The maximum grades in Subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this section will generally provide adequate sight distance at street level and prevent vehicles from dragging on extreme grade breaks. Exceptions may be approved by the Director, where physical design prevents such extreme grade breaks and provides safe sight distance.

(4)

Off-street parking spaces and the abutting parking aisles shall have a maximum grade of two percent for retail commercial and five percent for all other uses. Said grade shall be measured across the parking space and the abutting parking aisle in any direction.

(5)

Ramps or driveways providing vehicular access within the interior of an off-street parking area located beyond 18 feet from the ultimate right-of-way line of a street, alley or driveway shall have a maximum slope of plus or minus 20 percent. When such ramp or driveway slopes exceed plus or minus ten percent, the ramp or driveway design shall include transitions not less than eight feet in length, having a slope equal to one-half the ramp slope. When parking is provided on a ramp, the maximum slope shall not exceed six percent.

(f)

Parking area notices and directional instructions. Notwithstanding the regulations of any district or any specific plan, parking area notices, each not to exceed two square feet in area, and directional instructions lettered on the paved surface of driveways and parking areas are permitted for parking facilities serving industrial, commercial, or professional uses; public or community facilities; and five or more residential dwelling units. Such parking notices may contain the name of the owner or occupant of the property an only such words and symbols that are directly related or essential to parking, enforcement, or the direction of vehicular traffic within the parking area.

(g)

Paving.

Whenever the occupancy or use of any premises, which is not in compliance with off-street parking requirements, is changed to a different use or the existing use is altered, enlarged, expanded or intensified, parking to meet the requirements of this section shall be provided for the

new use or occupancy. This provision shall not apply to the addition of rooms or other alterations of a single-family dwelling, which do not increase the total floor area more than 50 percent.

(j)

Fractional parking spaces. Whenever the computation of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this section results in a fractional parking space, one additional parking space shall be required for onehalf or more fractional parking space, and any fractional space less than one-half of a parking space shall not be counted.

(k)

Parking facilities for the physically handicapped. Public accommodations or facilities, including industrial, commercial, professional, institutional, and multifamily dwellings of five or more units, shall provide parking spaces for the physically handicapped in compliance with the following provisions:
