§ 8108-4 — Ventura County Planning Code

8108-4.2 - Motorcycle parking. ¶

At least one (1) designated space for the parking of motorcycles or other two-wheeled motorized vehicles shall be provided for every twenty (20) automobile parking spaces provided. Every required motorcycle parking space provided shall count toward fulfilling one (1) required automobile parking space. Existing parking areas may be converted to take advantage of this provision, provided the converted spaces do not exceed the one (1) motorcycle space per twenty (20) automobile space ratio. Land uses that require additional motorcycle parking in excess of this ratio may, with Director approval, convert required automobile parking spaces to motorcycle spaces if the converted automobile spaces are designed and kept available for future conversion back to the automobile spaces.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.3 - Bicycle parking. ¶

A minimum number of bicycle parking spaces shall be provided, as set forth in Section 8108-4.7. Where there are two (2) or more separate primary land uses on a site, the required bicycle parking for the site is the sum of the required bicycle parking for each of the individual land uses.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.3.1 - Planning Director waivers/modifications. ¶

The Director may reduce the number of required bicycle parking spaces when the applicant demonstrates that providing the otherwise required bicycle parking spaces is not practical because of the remote project location, or because the nature of the land use precludes the use of bicycle parking spaces. The Director may also defer the requirement to provide bicycle parking spaces, but only if the subject permit includes an enforceable commitment by the property owner to supply such deferred bicycle parking spaces as may be needed in the future.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.4 - Accessible parking for disabled persons. ¶

Accessible parking for disabled persons shall be provided in compliance with the California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24) and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Accessible parking is included in the total number of motor vehicle parking spaces required by this Article.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.5 - Carpool parking.

The requirement to provide carpool parking spaces is intended to encourage carpooling, but should not result in parking spaces that consistently go unused.

a.

Number of Spaces. For all land uses, one (1) carpool or vanpool parking space shall be provided for every thirty-five (35) employees employed at the site. Carpool or vanpool parking spaces shall be reserved until one (1) hour after the employees' work shift begins, after which they may be open to single-occupancy vehicles. In addition, for professional, vocational, art and craft schools, colleges, universities and the like, one (1) out of every twenty-five (25) student parking spaces on a site shall be reserved for carpool or vanpool parking at all times. This requirement does not preclude designation of more than the minimum required number of carpool spaces.

b.

Signs. Signs shall be posted clearly indicating carpool and vanpool restrictions.

c.

Planning Director Waivers/Modifications. The Director may modify or waive carpool parking requirements when the applicant demonstrates that the nature of the land use precludes carpooling.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.6 - Shared parking. ¶

Shared use of required motor vehicle parking spaces is allowable where two (2) or more land uses on the same or separate sites are able to share the same parking spaces because their parking demands occur at different times. Shared use of required parking spaces may be allowed if an analysis is provided to the satisfaction of the Director, using an authoritative methodology, documenting the parking demand for each land use by hourof-day, showing that the peak parking demands of the land uses occur at different times, and demonstrating that the parking area will be large enough for the anticipated demands of all the land uses that utilize the

shared parking area. The lot or part of a lot on which the parking is provided shall be legally encumbered by a recorded restrictive covenant to ensure continued availability of the shared parking spaces for all the land uses that utilize the shared parking area. When shared parking is provided at an off-site location, the requirements of Section 8108-3.3.2 shall be met.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.7 - Table of parking space requirements by land use.

The table below indicates the number of required off-street motor vehicle and bicycle parking spaces that shall be provided for various land uses. For non-residential land uses, the number of motor vehicle parking spaces set forth in the table, plus or minus ten (10) percent of the total, represents the minimum required and the maximum allowed number of spaces, unless varied pursuant to Section 8108-4.8 below. For residential land uses the number of motor vehicle parking spaces set forth in the table represents the minimum required number of spaces, unless varied pursuant to Section 8108-4.8 below.

The number of motor vehicle parking spaces required in this Section is intended to address the needs of residents, employees and regular users of an establishment. The number is not intended to reflect the need for parking large delivery trucks, vans or buses; storage of vehicle inventory; or other specialty parking needs related to the operation of specific land uses.

The Director has the authority to determine the parking space requirements for any land use not specifically listed based on the requirements for the most comparable land use.

Such plans shall provide documentation describing the measures that will be used to reduce parking demand. Such measures may include, but are not limited to:

(1)

Locating a project within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of a stop for bus, rail, shuttle, or other public transit services.

(2)

Installing transit stops or enhancing existing adjacent transit stops by incorporating additional landscaping, shelters, informational kiosks, or other amenities.

(3)

Locating the project adjacent to a designated bicycle route or path.

(4)

Improving existing bicycle routes and paths in the vicinity of the project.

(5)

Providing employees with a parking cash-out option.

(6)

Providing residents or employees with transit passes.

(7)

Providing shuttle services for employees, visitors, or residents.

(8)

Creating ridesharing programs.

(9)

Charging for parking.

(10)

Improving the pedestrian environment surrounding the project by the provision of sidewalks, marked crosswalks, additional landscaping, street furniture, lighting, and/or other safety features.

(11)

Allowing flexible work schedules or telecommuting.

(12)

Providing on-site amenities, which could include daycare, restaurants, and/or personal services such as banking or dry cleaning.

(13)

Installing additional bicycle parking facilities above the minimum requirements. Requirements for this reduction include:

i.

Bicycle parking spaces shall meet the short- and long-term bicycle parking standards outlined in Section 81086.

ii.

For every four (4) bicycle parking spaces provided above the minimum requirement, the amount of motor vehicle parking spaces provided may be reduced by one (1) space, up to a maximum reduction of six (6) percent of required motor vehicle spaces. Existing parking may be converted to take advantage of this provision.

(14)

Providing shower and locker facilities. The provision of showers and associated lockers may be provided in lieu of required motor vehicle parking under some circumstances. Requirements for this reduction include:

i.

The number of showers provided shall be based on demonstrated demand. At least six (6) lockers for personal effects shall be provided per shower and shall be located near showers and dressing areas. Lockers shall be well ventilated and of a size sufficient to allow the storage of cycling attire and equipment. Showers and lockers should be located as close as possible to the bicycle parking facilities.

ii.

For every two (2) showers (one (1) per gender) and six (6) clothing lockers per shower provided, the amount of motor vehicle parking spaces provided may be reduced by three (3) spaces, up to a maximum reduction of three (3) percent of required motor vehicle spaces. Existing parking may be converted to take advantage of this provision.

(15)

Other measures to encourage transit use or to reduce parking needs.

c.

Affordable or Senior Housing. The total number of spaces required may be reduced for affordable (low income, very low income, extremely low income) or senior housing units, commensurate with the reduced parking demand created by the housing facility, including for visitors and accessory facilities. The reduction shall consider proximity to transit and support services and the Director may require traffic demand management measures in conjunction with any approval.

d.

Drive-Through Land Uses. A reduction in the required number of parking spaces may be approved if documentation is provided which demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the required number of parking spaces will not be needed due to the drive-through nature of the land use.

e.

On-Street Parking. The availability of on-street parking spaces contiguous with the proposed land use's parcel(s) may be considered by the Director in approving a request to reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces.

f.

Parking Reserve. When parking spaces required by this Article are not needed by the current land use occupants or are not needed in the current phase of development, the land for those spaces may be held in reserve. For non-residential land uses this parking reserve shall be limited to one (1) parking space or up to ten (10) percent of the total number of required parking spaces, whichever is greater. The parking reserve area shall be included in the determination of lot coverage as though the spaces were in use. To take advantage of reserved parking, the following provisions shall be met:

(1)

The applicant must demonstrate that the reduced number of parking spaces will be adequate to provide sufficient parking for the land uses on the property.

(2)

The area designated as reserve parking must be clearly depicted on the approved site plan, and the terms and conditions of the reserved parking shall be clearly set forth in the approved site plan notations.

(3)

For nonresidential land uses, landscaping must be provided in lieu of the required parking spaces in compliance with Section 8108-5.14 and Section 8106-8.2.

(4)

The reserved parking spaces must be maintained in a manner that leaves them available for conversion to required parking spaces. No above-ground improvements shall be placed or constructed upon the reserve parking area.

(5)

The permit shall be conditioned to require the conversion of the reserved spaces into usable parking spaces at any time that the Director determines necessary.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009; Ord. No. 4577 § 4, 3-9-2021)

8108-4.8.2 - Parking space reduction documentation. ¶

The applicant shall provide documentation that describes the proposed parking reduction and identifies the parties responsible for implementing any parking measures associated with the proposed reduction. The documentation shall discuss the estimated parking demand for the land use, describe how parking demand will be met with the requested reduction, explain how the proposed measures will effectively decrease parking demand at the site, and include proposed performance targets for parking. Documentation shall demonstrate how adjusting the amount of parking provided will not impact neighboring or nearby land uses. Required documentation shall include information regarding specific parking reduction measures as described in Section 8108-4.8.1. Required documentation may also include existing parking counts, parking counts at similar land uses, and calculation of future parking demand based on industry standards.

a.

Monitoring Reports. Monitoring reports shall be submitted to the Director three (3) years after building occupancy and again six (6) years after building occupancy. Monitoring reports shall note the effectiveness of the proposed measures as compared to the initial performance targets, and provide suggestions for modifications if necessary to enhance parking and/or trip reductions. Where the monitoring reports indicate that performance measures are not met, the Director may require further program modifications or the provision of additional parking.

b.

Recordation. As a condition of approval of the parking reduction, the property owner, if different than the applicant, may be required to record agreements or restrictive covenants on the subject property prior to issuance of a land use permit to ensure that appropriate measures are implemented to justify the parking reduction.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)

8108-4.8.3 - Increases to the number of motor vehicle parking spaces required. ¶

In order for the Director to approve an increase to the number of parking spaces provided for a land use over the number of motor vehicle parking spaces required by Section 8108-4.7, both of the following provisions must be met:

a.

Parking Study. Applicant funds and provides a parking study demonstrating that the number of motor vehicle parking spaces required by Section 8108-4.7 is inadequate for the land use. Parking studies shall be prepared by a person/firm qualified to prepare such studies as determined by the Director.

b.

Other Options Explored. The project applicant provides documentation to the Director demonstrating that the applicant has fully explored all other options for meeting parking demand without increasing the number of

parking spaces, including utilizing shared parking, remote parking, and demand reduction measures.

(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009)
