A. Off-Street Parking. Off-street parking is defined as parking on privately owned property. The regulations concerning off-street parking are intended to reduce the need for parking on streets and the traffic congestion and hazards caused thereby, and to provide for off-street parking adequate to each type of development, both in terms of amount and location. All parking space requirements set forth in this chapter shall be met prior to the occupancy of buildings and shall be satisfactorily maintained for each use listed in this chapter.
B. Off-Street Loading. To avoid damage to the streets and hazards to the pedestrians and congestion on the streets, it is required that spaces in the form of off-street loading areas be provided on the same lot as the building to be served by the delivery or loading of goods, and that such berths be adequate in size and number to provide the service needed without affecting adjacent properties, public streets or public rights-of-way. (Ord. 1438 §2(part), 2014)
17.52.020 Off-street parking design standards.
A. The off-street parking required for the uses specified herein shall be for use only by the automobiles of the residents, employees and customers of the activity served by the off-street parking.
B. Off-street parking requirements shall be met on the same lot as the building served by the off-street parking or on a lot that is within one hundred feet of the building or facility served by the off-street parking and is specially reserved for the service of such building. Notwithstanding the above, off-street parking facilities for independent and separate buildings and uses may be provided collectively on a common lot if these facilities are not less than the total requirements of the independent and separate uses, and if all other requirements are met.
C. All standard parking spaces shall be at least nine feet in width and at least twenty feet in length and compact spaces shall be at least eight feet in width and sixteen feet in length, both exclusive of access drives, yards and ramps. Such spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet. Lines demarcating parking spaces may be drawn at various angles in relation to curbs or aisles; provided, that the parking space so created contains within it the rectangular area required by this chapter.
D. Off-street parking spaces may be located in any required yard unless otherwise indicated in this title.
E. All off-street parking spaces and access areas shall be surfaced with Portland cement concrete, asphaltic concrete paving, or porous paving to the standards established by the city.
F. See parking lot layout standard in Section 17.52.100. (Ord. 1438 §2(part), 2014)
