4100.50 Location of Parking and Loading Facilities

A. Parking - Residential Uses

Required parking facilities for residential uses shall be located on the same lot or parcel of land as the use the parking facilities are intended to serve. The facilities shall be conveniently and safely located on the site.

The Commission may approve alternate parking facilities where vehicular access to a garage, carport, or other required automobile storage space on the same lot or parcel of land is not possible from any street, highway, or alley. Such restrictions to access may be due to topographical or other physical conditions. Access may be so difficult to achieve that to require such access may be determined unreasonable in the opinion of the Planning Commission. An application for a Variance shall be filed by the party requesting consideration in this regard.

B. Parking- Non-Residential Uses

Required parking for non-residential uses shall be located:

1. On-Site. On the same lot or parcel of land as the use which the facilities serve; or

2. Off-Site. On a lot(s) or parcel(s) of land (“subservient lot”) located on the same block as the lot supporting the use the parking facilities serve (“principal lot”) whether or not under the same ownership provided that:

   • a. The owner(s) of the subservient lot execute and record in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, an agreement, approved by the City Attorney, as a

covenant running with the land for the benefit of the City and the principal lot, providing that such owner(s) of the subservient lot and their heirs, assigns, or successors in interest will continue to maintain the parking facilities so long as the building or use they intended to serve is maintained, and the permitted use under this Section will cease if the offsite parking facilities are not maintained as such; and

• b. No more than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of parking spaces required for the use is located at the off-site location or subservient lot; and

• c. The parking spaces leased must not be required for, or available to, any other property.

• d. Restricted parking signs approved by the Director of Building and Planning are posted at the off-site location or subservient lot approved pursuant to Subsection a. and Subsection b. above; or

3. On a lot or parcel of land separated only by an alley (20 feet wide or less) from the lot or parcel supporting the use the parking facilities serve, provided:

• a. That said lots or parcels are under the same ownership; and

• b. That said lots or parcels would be contiguous if not separated by the alley; and

• c. That direct vehicular and pedestrian passage between said lots or parcels would be possible if the alley were vacated; and

• d. That the parking is located not more than 200 feet from the use it is intended to serve; or

4. On a non-adjacent lot on the same block as the lot supporting the use the parking facilities serve, provided that the non-adjacent lot is under the same ownership. Same ownership, as used herein, includes property subject to a binding recorded lease for not less than 10 years from commencement of use. The parking spaces leased must not be required for, or available to, any other property.
