1. If approved by the director of community development services, the height of a structure may exceed 40 ft. above average building elevation (AABE), to a maximum of 55 ft. AABE, if all of the following criteria are met:

    a. The increased height is necessary to accommodate the structural, equipment, or operational needs of the use conducted in the building, and/or all ground floor spaces have a minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 13 ft. and a minimum depth of 15 ft.;

    b. Height complies with note 2;

    c. Height over 40 ft. is set back from nonresidential zones by one additional ft. for each one ft. of height over 40 ft.; and

2. Building height may not exceed 30 ft. AABE when located within 100 ft. of a residential zone.

3. Proposed parks must be consistent with the city’s adopted comprehensive park plan.

4. Minor and supporting structures constructed as a functional requirement of a public park facility may be allowed, provided a maximum height of 55 ft. AABE is not exceeded and the director of community development services determines that the facility and any related supporting structures will not significantly impact adjacent properties.

5. The subject property must be designed so that truck parking, loading, and maneuvering areas; areas where noise generating outdoor uses and activities may occur; and vents and similar features are located as far as possible from any residential zone, conforming residential use, natural systems, and public rights-of-way.

6. No maximum lot coverage applies. Instead, the buildable area will be determined by other site development regulations, i.e., required yards, landscaping, surface water facilities, etc.

13. A reduction to the minimum required parking spaces may be allowed provided a transit station access and parking study is submitted as part of the development application for city-issued land use approval to inform any decisions regarding the reduction of parking. The scope of the study may include, but is not limited to: the existing supply, utilization, and availability of publicly accessible on-street and off-street parking, projected changes to transit ridership, traffic (vehicle trip generation), and area parking availability likely to result from any interim or alternative station access and parking scenarios. The director may grant, after consultation with the city traffic engineer, a modification to the minimum number of parking spaces based upon the result of the transit station access and parking study and the approval criteria in FWRC 19.130.080(2).

14. Provision of parking may be phased consistent with a phased parking plan included and analyzed in the transit station access and parking study. The phased parking plan must specify the percentage of required transit parking access to be accommodated at the time of certificate of occupancy issuance for the transit station, any applicable milestone years for provision of additional parking, and the frequency at which particular land use or transportation conditions will be evaluated for potential updates to the phased parking plan. The phased parking plan must be consistent with the findings of the access and parking study and the approval criteria in FWRC 19.130.080(2). An agreement shall be executed between the city and applicant, prior to issuance of building permits, to ensure station access and parking services are provided consistent with the phased parking plan.

15. In general, surface parking shall not be permitted. Surface parking may be permitted if the director determines that the proposed surface parking achieves comprehensive plan and/or subarea plan goals and policies, and:

    a. Structured parking cannot adequately accommodate the provision of limited purpose parking such as ADA parking spaces, short term parking spaces, and electric charging stations; or

    b. The proposed location of surface parking is on land with low redevelopment potential, such as under a railway, where structured parking would be impractical; or

    c. The potential exists for the future conversion of the proposed surface parking, including parking provided in accordance with a phased parking plan under note 14, to structured parking as part of a transit-oriented development, public-private partnership, or similar means of redevelopment, and the applicant and the city have executed an agreement specifying the date when, or conditions under which, the surface parking shall be converted to structured parking if no redevelopment occurs.

16. Parking required by this chapter shall be no more than 800 ft. from the proposed transit station. The distance shall be measured along a city-approved pedestrian path from the transit station entrance to the closest public pedestrian entrance to the parking facility. The director may grant a modification to the maximum distance between parking required and the proposed transit station based on consideration of how pedestrian weather protection, crosswalk improvements, lighting, street trees, sidewalk width, and wayfinding are able to facilitate seamless access integration, as well as the approval criteria of FWRC 19.130.090. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicant may enter into a shared parking agreement with another property owner to utilize existing surplus parking on properties located within 800 ft. of the facility, or where a direct transit link (e.g., bus, shuttle, etc.) will be provided between the parking and the transit facility, to satisfy a portion or all of the parking requirement. Shared parking is subject to the approval criteria of FWRC 19.130.120. Shared parking is not subject to the requirements of note 15.

17. Project will be reviewed as a Class I essential public facility; refer to FWRC 19.105.020(2).

Determined on a case-by-case basis

1. The city will determine the maximum number of residents and the number of dwelling units or occupancy rooms or suites permitted in the proposed development based on the following criteria:

    a. The specific nature of the occupancy and the persons that will be housed in the proposed development.

    b. The size of the dwelling units or occupancy rooms or suites and the specific configuration of the facilities within these units, rooms, or suites.

    c. The impacts on nearby residential uses of the proposed development.

    d. The architecture, site design, and other design features of the proposed development.

2.    a. Except as specified in subsection (2)(b) of this section, the facility must be:

    (1) Distanced at least 1,000 ft. from any school, park, church, playground, or day care center; measured by following a straight line, without regard to intervening buildings, from the nearest point of the parcel or property or land use district boundary line from which the proposed use is to be separated.
