A.

Required Parking Location.

This subsection applies to lots where both:

i.

At least sixty percent (60%) of the buildings in the immediate context have required parking located to the rear or side at a depth of at least twenty-five (25) feet from the front lot line; and

ii.

The difference in elevation of existing grade between the midpoint of the front lot line and the farthest opposite point of the lot depth is not twenty percent (20%) or greater.

For the lots described in Subsection 17.116.300.A.1., the entirety of required garages, carports or any uncovered required parking spaces shall be located at one of the following locations:

The immediate context shall consist of the five (5) closest lots on each side of the project site plus the ten (10) closest lots on the opposite side of the street; however, the Director of City Planning may make an alternative determination of immediate context based on specific site conditions. Such determination shall be in writing and included as part of any approval of any required garage, carport, or uncovered parking space. Lots with a front lot line width of less than thirty-five (35) feet are exempt from this Subsection if the garage, carport or uncovered parking space dimensions facing the front lot line equal less than fifty (50) percent of the building elevation facing the front lot line.

B.

Garage or Carport Recessed from Front of Residence in Certain Cases. When an attached or detached garage or carport is not subject to Subsection A. of this Section and is located on lots with a street-to- setback gradient of twenty percent (20%) or less and where the face of the primary Residential Facility, including projections at least eight (8) feet in height and five (5) feet in width, such as covered porches and bay windows, is within twenty-five (25) feet of the front lot line, at least one of the following requirements shall apply:

The front of the garage or carport shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet from such face; or

If the garage or carport is located below living space, either:

a.

The front of the garage or carport shall be set back at least eighteen (18) inches from the upper level living space; or

Editor's note— Ord. No. 13677, § 4(Exh. A), adopted Jan. 18, 2022, amended the title of § 17.116.300 to read as herein set out. The former § 17.116.300 title pertained to parking accommodation requirements for One- and Two-Family Residential Facilities.

A.

Off-street parking spaces shall be rented or sold separately from the rental or purchase of dwelling units for the life of the dwelling units, such that potential renters or buyers shall have the option of renting or buying a dwelling unit at a price lower than would be the case if there were a single price for both the dwelling unit and the parking space(s).
