2. For additional seating capacity, floor area, lodging rooms, or dwelling units added to any existing structure or lot.

3. When the use of the structure or a portion thereof is changed if the new use would require additional parking areas and off-street loading areas under the provisions of this title.

B. Except as provided in subsection (C) of this section where a structure is added to, or a portion thereof changed in use such that additional parking or loading is required, only so many additional spaces as would be required under MCC 16.30.170 for the area added or changed in use need be provided.

C. When a lot or structure as used prior to a structural addition or change of use did not have the number of parking and loading spaces, or the spaces were not improved as required under the applicable regulations and the deficiency is not lawfully nonconforming, parking and loading facilities meeting the requirements of this title shall be required to eliminate the deficiency. [Ord. 863 § 5, 1990. UZ Ord. § 30.00.]

16.30.010 Reduction of parking area prohibited – Exception.

Off-street parking and loading areas which existed on May 30, 1990, or which are provided as required by this chapter shall be maintained, or equivalent parking and loading areas provided; except that:

A. If this title reduces the number of required off-street parking or loading spaces, an affected use may diminish its parking and loading area to the new requirements.

B. When adjacent to transit service, the number of minimum required parking spaces may be reduced by up to 10 percent to redevelop the existing parking area for transit related uses including transit stops, pullouts and shelters, park and ride lots, transit-oriented developments and similar facilities where appropriate.

H. Underground Parking. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, parking areas in all zones other than the UT zone may be located underground beneath required yards provided no portion of the structure enclosing the parking area projects into the required yard, and all required yards beneath which parking is located are landscaped as provided in MCC 16.29.070.

I. Plans for all parking and loading areas required under this chapter at a workable scale shall be submitted to the zoning administrator for approval prior to issuance of a determination of conformance; or, if no building permit is required, at the time of application for a driveway permit; or, if no such permit is required, prior to commencing any paving or use of the parking or loading area.

16.30.150 Driveway development standards.

All driveways providing access to parking spaces and loading areas required under this title, including those for a single-family dwelling on a lot, shall conform to the following development standards:

A. Grade. The maximum difference between the curbline and finished floor level of the garage or carport for driveways serving individual lots shall not exceed 15 percent, provided the director of public works may permit a difference in elevation not exceeding a 20 percent slope; provided, that there is no slope exceeding 25 percent between any two points in the driveway, and that adequate vertical curves or ramps are used in the driveway to assure usability by a standard size automobile.

B. Surfacing. The surface of driveways shall be pavement; provided, that driveways to a single-family dwelling shall be paved if the street is curbed.

C. Drainage. All driveways shall be adequately drained and the provisions for drainage shall be approved by the director of public works.

D. Street Access. The entries and exits of driveways on a public street shall conform to the provisions of the driveway permit required by the Marion County department of public works as well as the specific provisions of this title.

E. Turnarounds. If a driveway serving more than two parking or loading spaces serving a use other than a single-family dwelling has only one point of access to a public street, or does not loop to a single street access, a turnaround area approved by the director of public works shall be provided.

F. Width of Driveways. Driveway width shall be as specified by the director of public works through the driveway permit process.

G. “No Parking” Signs. Where a driveway is an integral part of a parking, loading or vehicle storage area and not simply a means of access to such area, one “no parking” sign for every 60 feet of length of the driveway shall be erected, but in no event shall less than two signs be erected. [Ord. 1301 § 4 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 863 § 5, 1990. UZ Ord. § 30.15. Formerly 16.30.130.]

16.30.160 Temporary and seasonal gravel-surfaced parking and loading areas.

A. As used in this section, “seasonal” means limited to a period of no more than six months in any 12-month period, but related to a unique or an annually occurring event or condition; and “temporary” means limited to a fixed maximum term not to exceed five years, and related to a condition or need which is expected to cease within that fixed term.

B. The zoning administrator may grant an adjustment for the use of a gravel-surfaced parking or loading area in a zone on either a seasonal or temporary basis upon being satisfied that the seasonal or temporary need cannot be otherwise reasonably and economically met; the use will be, in fact, seasonal or temporary; and each of the following conditions is or will be met by the applicant:

1. A seasonal permit for parking shall be granted for only that period, not to exceed six months in any 12-month period, as is necessary to meet a genuine need for gravel parking and may be renewed annually upon a new adjustment application.

2. At the conclusion of the seasonal period, the gravel area used for seasonal parking shall be closed to vehicle access by a physical barrier.

3. A temporary permit for parking shall be granted for a period not to exceed one year and annually renewable for no more than four additional years, which is necessary to meet a genuine need for gravel parking.

4. The seasonal or temporary permit may be renewed annually, up to a total period of five years. The applicant shall be required to submit written findings that the facts upon which the approval was originally based have not changed to an extent sufficient to warrant an entirely new conditional use application. If the administrator finds a substantial change in the circumstances upon which approval was originally granted, he or she may require a new adjustment application for the renewal.

5. Gravel parking and loading areas shall be improved with a minimum of four inches of base rock covered by a minimum of two inches of three-quarter inch or smaller crushed rock as a leveling course, except that gravel parking and loading areas used exclusively by passenger cars need only be improved with a minimum of three inches of base rock.

6. No gravel parking or loading area shall be permitted within 500 feet of any residential zone.

7. Gravel parking and loading areas shall be screened from all adjacent uses by a sight-obscuring fence, wall or hedge.

8. Wheel barriers shall be provided to designate and protect each parking space.

9. Parking lot signing approved by the county shall be provided.

10. No gravel parking area shall exceed 15,000 square feet; provided, that any more restrictive area requirement established by state or federal law or administrative regulation as applicable shall be met.

11. A landscaped area at least five feet in depth, which may include the required screening, shall be provided along the perimeter of each gravel parking area.

All of the above to match city code. [Ord. 1301 § 4 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 863 § 5, 1990. UZ Ord. § 30.16. Formerly 16.30.140.]
