  § 68.406. Parking Standards and Design.

Latest version.

  • The following standards shall apply in Town, Village, Neighborhood and Residential Centers and may be used as design guidelines in other districts.

    (a)

    Joint Access. Cross access easements or similar mechanisms shall be used to provide joint access between the parking areas of adjacent properties. This shall preclude drivers from having to use the street network to access a neighboring parcel.

    (b)

    Shared Parking. Shared parking may be provided for multiple uses where it can be demonstrated that due to different use time frames the minimum amount of required parking will be available for each use. For example, land uses such as movie theatres and restaurants can share office parking space during the evening hours.

    (c)

    Off-Site Parking. Off-site parking, including on-street parking may be utilized to meet minimum parking requirements as long as reasonable pedestrian access is provided from the parking space to the use.

    (d)

    Parking Access. Parking areas shall be accessed from side and back streets and from adjacent properties. Access from the front street shall be avoided unless no other reasonable access is available. Block standards for Town, Village (except for Village Center anchor stores), and Residential Centers require a minimum of 65% street frontage therefore, forcing parking to the sides and rear of buildings.

    (e)

    Pedestrian Access. A direct pedestrian access shall be provided from the public sidewalk network to the primary building entrance without having to cross a vehicular travelway.

    (f)

    Landscaping/Screening. Parking areas shall be landscaped consistent with Chapter 60 of the Land Development Code. Connecting walkways should be landscaped with either shade trees or climbing vines on trellises.

    (g)

    On-Street Parking. On-street parking shall be utilized in mixed-use centers whenever and wherever possible. On-street parking areas shall be differentiated from road travel lanes through the use of texture paving or textured paving strips.
