21.40.020 Applicability.

A.    Off-Street Parking Required. Each use, including a change or expansion of a use or structure, except as otherwise provided for in Chapter 21.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures), shall have appropriately maintained off-street parking and loading areas in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. A use shall not be commenced and structures shall not be occupied until improvements required by this chapter are satisfactorily completed.

B.    Change, Enlargement, or Intensification of Use. Changes in use and enlargement or intensification of an existing use shall require compliance with the off-street parking requirements of this chapter, except as allowed in Chapter 21.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures). (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

21.40.030 Requirements for Off-Street Parking.

A.    Parking Required to Be on Site. Parking shall be located on the same lot or development site as the uses served, except for the following:

1.    Townhouses and Multi-Tenant Uses. Where parking is provided on another lot within the same development site, the parking shall be located within two hundred (200) feet of the units they are intended to serve.

2.    Off-Site Parking Agreement. Parking may be located off-site with the approval of an off-site parking agreement.

B.    Permanent Availability Required. Each parking and loading space shall be permanently available and maintained for parking purposes for the use it is intended to serve. The Director may authorize the temporary use of parking or loading spaces for other than parking or loading in conjunction with a seasonal or intermittent use.

C.    Maintenance. Parking spaces, driveways, maneuvering aisles, turnaround areas, and landscaping areas shall be kept free of dust, graffiti, and litter. Striping, paving, walls, light standards, and all other facilities shall be permanently maintained in good condition.

D.    Vehicles for Sale. Vehicles, trailers, or other personal property shall not be parked upon a private street, parking lot, or private property for the primary purpose of displaying the vehicle, trailer, or other personal property for sale, hire, or rental, unless the property is appropriately zoned, and the vendor is licensed to transact a vehicle sales business at that location.

E.    Calculation of Spaces Required.

1.    Fractional Spaces. Fractional parking space requirements shall be rounded up to the next whole space.

2.    Bench Seating. Where bench seating or pews are provided, eighteen (18) linear inches of seating shall be considered to constitute a separate or individual seat.

3.    Gross Floor Area. References to spaces per square foot are to be calculated on the basis of gross floor area unless otherwise specified.

4.    Net Public Area. “Net public area” shall be defined as the total area accessible to the public within an eating and/or drinking establishment, excluding kitchens, restrooms, offices pertaining to the use, and storage areas.

5.    Spaces per Occupant. References to spaces per occupant are to be calculated on the basis of maximum occupancy approved by the City of Newport Beach Fire Department.

6.    Spaces Required for Multiple Uses. If more than one use is located on a site, the number of required off-street parking spaces shall be equal to the sum of the requirements prescribed for each use.

F.    Nonconforming Parking and Loading. Land uses and structures that are nonconforming due solely to the lack of off-street parking or loading facilities required by this chapter shall be subject to the provisions of Section 21.38.060 (Nonconforming Parking). (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

21.40.040 Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.

Off-street parking spaces shall be provided in compliance with Table 21.40-1. Where the off-street parking spaces required are established by a coastal development permit, the review authority shall require sufficient data, including a parking demand study, from the applicant in order to make this determination. These standards shall be considered the minimum required to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare, and more extensive parking provisions may be required by the review authority in particular circumstances. Unless otherwise noted parking requirements are calculated based on gross floor area.

(2)    Measured perpendicular to aisle.

(3)    Structural elements shall not encroach into the required stall, with the exception of a one square foot area at the front corners.

3.    Bumper Overhang Areas. A maximum of two and one-half feet of the parking stall depth may be landscaped with low-growing, hearty materials in lieu of paving or an adjacent walkway may be increased, allowing a two and one-half foot bumper overhang while maintaining the required parking dimensions.

4.    Compact Parking. Compact parking spaces shall not be allowed. However, where they exist at the time of adoption of this Zoning Code, they may remain and shall not be considered a nonconforming condition.

Figure 21.40-1

B.    Alley Access. Development on lots or parcels with alley access shall be designed such that access to on-site parking spaces is accessed by the abutting alley.

1.    Exceptions. The reviewing authority may grant an exception on lots:

a.    Where the width of the abutting alley is not sufficient to provide maneuvering space for access; or

b.    Where the provision of access by abutting streets would not result in the loss of existing on-street parking spaces or prevent the creation of new on-street parking spaces by the closure of existing curb cuts.

C.     Driveways. Project and subdivision designs shall minimize the number of curb cuts for driveways. Existing curb cuts shall be closed to create public on-street parking wherever feasible.

D.     Parking Configuration/Management. Parking configurations and/or parking management programs that are difficult to maintain and enforce shall not be permitted. (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

21.40.100 Off-Site Parking.

A.    Applicability. This section shall apply to any nonresidential development where all or a portion of required parking is not located on the same site it is intended to serve.

B.    Standards for Off-Site Parking Facilities. An off-site parking facility shall comply with the following standards:

1.    The parking facility shall be located within a five hundred (500) foot distance unless alternative transportation provided to the use it is intended to serve;

2.    On-street parking shall not be counted towards meeting any parking requirements;

3.    The off-site, off-street parking shall not impact public parking available for coastal access;

4.    Use of the parking facility shall not create undue traffic hazards or impacts in the surrounding area;

5.    The parking facility shall be permanently available, marked, and maintained for the use it is intended to serve; and

D.    Loss of Off-Site Parking.

1.    Notification of City. The owner or operator of a business that uses an approved off-site parking facility to satisfy the parking requirements of this chapter shall immediately notify the Director of any change of ownership or use of the property where the spaces are located, or changes in the use that the spaces are intended to serve, or of any termination or default of the agreement between the parties.

2.    Effect of Termination of Agreement. Upon notification that the agreement for the required off-site parking has terminated, the Director shall establish a reasonable time in which one of the following shall occur:

a.    Substitute parking is provided that is acceptable to the Director; or

b.    The size or capacity of the use is reduced in proportion to the parking spaces lost. (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

21.40.110 Adjustments to Off-Street Parking Requirements.

The number of parking spaces required by this chapter may be reduced only in compliance with the following standards and procedures:

A.    Reduction of Required Off-Street Parking. Off-street parking requirements may be reduced as follows:

1.    Reduced Parking Demand. Required off-street parking may be reduced in compliance with the following conditions:

a.    The applicant has provided sufficient data, including a parking study if required by the Director, to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required number of spaces or that other parking is available (e.g., City parking lot located nearby, on-street parking available, greater than normal walk in trade, mixed-use development); and

b.    A parking management plan shall be prepared in compliance with subsection (B) of this section (Parking Management Plan).

2.    Joint Use of Parking Facilities. Required off-street parking may be reduced where two or more nonresidential uses on the same site or immediately adjacent sites have distinct and differing peak parking demands (e.g., a theater and a bank). The review authority may grant a joint use of parking spaces between the uses that results in a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces.

B.    Parking Management Plan. When a parking management plan to mitigate impacts associated with a reduction in the number of required parking spaces is proposed, as allowed by this chapter, the parking management plan may include, but is not limited to, the following when required by the review authority:

1.    Restricting land uses to those that have hours or days of operation so that the same parking spaces can be used by two or more uses without conflict;

2.    Restricting land uses with high parking demand characteristics;

3.    Securing off-site parking;

4.    Providing parking attendants and valet parking;

5.    Utilization of transportation demand management strategies that promote the use of alternative transportation modes (e.g., ridesharing, carpools, vanpools, public transit, shuttles, bicycles and walking) pursuant to Section 21.44.030 (Transportation Demand Management); and

6.    Other appropriate mitigation measures.

C.    Required Data. In reaching a decision to allow a reduction of required parking spaces, the review authority shall consider data submitted by the applicant or collected/prepared at the applicant’s expense and any other data that is available to the review authority.

D.    Impact to Coastal Access Prohibited. No application for a reduction in the number of off-street parking requirements shall be approved that impacts public parking available for coastal access. (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

21.40.120 Parking Management Districts.

Properties within a Parking Management (PM) Overlay District may be exempted from all or part of the off-street parking requirements of this chapter in compliance with the provisions of the adopted parking management district plan per Section 21.28.030 (Parking Management (PM) Overlay District). (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

21.40.130 In-Lieu Parking Fee.

The number of parking spaces required by Section 21.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required) may be reduced pursuant to an adopted Parking District Management Plan if the review authority authorizes the use of an in-lieu fee to be paid by the applicant towards the development of public parking facilities and/or implementation of a nonautomobile circulation system. The in-lieu fee shall be paid to the Citywide Parking Improvement Trust Fund. The amount of the fee and time of payment shall be established by Council resolution and shall be commensurate with actual market value cost for the provision of off-street parking space. (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)
