A. Purpose Statement:The regulations of this chapter are intended to promote the
orderly use of land and buildings by identifying minimum and maximum standards
for accessory parking and loading facilities that will promote safe and convenient
vehicular transportation and movement of goods.These requirements are also
intended to help lessen traffic congestion and promote public health and welfare
through a cleaner environment by reducing the number of vehicle trips.Encouraging
nonmotorized transportation and relating parking requirements to the local land
use/transportation system are consistent with the objectives of this chapter.
B. Intensification of Use:When the intensity of any building,structure or premises is
increased through the addition of dwelling units,gross floor area,seating capacity,or
other units of measurement specified herein for required parking,additional parking
shall be provided in the amount by which the requirements for the intensified use
exceed those for the existing use.
C. Change in Use:When the use of an existing building or structure is changed to a
different type of use,parking shall be provided in the amount required for such new
use.However,if an existing building or structure was established prior to the
effective date hereof,any increase in required parking shall be limited to the amount
by which the new use exceeds the existing use except in the downtown D-1,D-2 and
D-3 districts where a change of use shall not require additional parking or loading
facilities.
D. Existing Parking and loading Facilities:If parking and loading facilities are below
these requirements,they shall not be further reduced.
E. Voluntary Provision of Additional Parking and Loading Facilities: The voluntary
establishment of off street parking spaces in excess of the maximum allowable
parking specified in this title shall not be permitted unless established through the
Transportation Demand Management standards found in section 21A.44.050 of this
chapter. Voluntary establishment of loading facilities in excess of the requirements of
this title to serve any use shall be permitted provided that all regulations herein
governing the location, design and operation of such facilities are satisfied.
F. Damage or Destruction: For any conforming or nonconforming use which is
involuntarily damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, and

garages that have been converted to living space without building permits and without
replacing parking in a legal location on the lot. Attached garages converted prior to
April 12, 1995, including the associated front yard parking, may be legalized subject
to obtaining a building permit for all building modifications associated with
converting the garage to living space. The building services division shall inspect the
conversion for substantial life safety compliance. Additional requirements include the
following:

resulting from a change in use.
2. Applicability:The regulations of this subsection shall apply to parking structures
or lots located within,or partially within,the Main Street retail core area,as
defined in chapter 21A.30 of this title.These regulations shall also apply to
parking structures or lots established to serve uses located wholly or partially
within the area defined in chapter 21A.30 of this title.The regulations of this
subsection shall apply to all uses in the D-1,D-2 and D-3 districts.
3. Short Term Parking Requirements:That number of parking spaces required to
serve retail goods or retail service establishments located within the Main Street
retail core area shall be designated as short term parking spaces(i.e.,for less than
one day).These spaces shall be at the retail level(not necessarily the ground
level)of a parking structure,or the spaces closest to the retail use shall be
designated for short term parking.
4. Change of Use:Any legally established use in the D-1,D-2 or D-3 district may be
changed to any other legal use without providing any additional off street parking,
provided that the change of use does not require any expansion to the existing
principal structure greater than one thousand(1,000)square feet.
.1. Recreational Vehicle Parking:The parking of recreational vehicles shall conform to
the standards set forth below:
1. Standards:
a. Recreational vehicle parking spaces shall be in addition to,and not in lieu of,
other required off street parking spaces.
b. Recreational vehicle parking is prohibited in the front yard.
c. Recreational vehicle parking is permitted in any enclosed structure
conforming to building code and zoning requirements for the zoning district in
which it is located.
d. Recreational vehicle parking in side or rear yards may be permitted subject to

yard cannot be accessed,and in a side yard other than the driveway side
yard only if the driveway side yard cannot be used for such additional
parking.The existence of a fence or other structure which is not part of a
building shall not constitute a lack of rear yard access.Topographical
factors,the existence of mature trees or the existence of properly permitted
and constructed structures precluding rear yard parking is sufficient to
establish a lack of rear yard access.
(4) Side yard parking shall only be permitted subject to the following
conditions:
(A)The parking area for the recreational vehicle must be a hard surface of
either concrete,asphalt,or turf block;
(B)The recreational vehicle parking space shall not interfere with access
to other required parking for the structure;
(C)Access to the recreational vehicle parking from the existing driveway
on the property shall have an access taper from the existing driveway
and be hard surfaced;

section that is the most similar to the proposed use in terms of the parked vehicles
that are anticipated to be generated;
2. The square footage to be occupied by the proposed use; and
3. The number of employees and patrons that are anticipated for the proposed use.
C. Exemption from Calculation of Required Parking Spaces: Nonresidential uses in
buildings less than one thousand (1,000) square feet and located on a lot in the
commercial districts or the D-2 and D-3 downtown districts shall be exempt from the
requirement of providing off street parking. The exemption shall be applied to the
land use on the lot requiring the fewest number of spaces. Only one (1) exemption
shall be allowed per lot.

21A.44.040: ALTERNATIVE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND OFF STREET
PARKING REDUCTIONS:
A. Purpose and Scope: The number of required off street parking spaces may be met via
alternative means or reduced in some circumstances. Alternatives and reductions help
prevent land from being devoted unnecessarily to parking spaces when other parking
solutions respond better to the parking needs of the use of the property, the enjoyment
of neighboring property rights and the general neighborhood compatibility. These
options are intended to allow satisfying a portion of parking requirements by means
other than on-site parking or by reducing the number of required parking spaces when
there is documentation that actual parking demand is less than the number required by
table 21A.44.030 of this chapter.
B. Permitted Parking Alternatives and Reductions:
1. Shared Parking: Where multiple uses share the same off street parking facilities,
reduced total demand for parking spaces may result due to differences in parking
demand for each use during the course of the day. The following schedule of
shared parking is provided indicating how shared parking for certain uses can be
used to reduce the total parking required for shared parking facilities:

a. Determining the Total Requirements for Shared Parking Facilities: For each
applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required
for a use if it were the only use (refer to table 21A.44.030). Use those figures
for each land use to calculate the number of spaces required for each time
period for each use (six (6) time periods per use). For each time period, add
the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a grand
total for each of the six (6) time periods. Select the time period with the
highest total parking requirement and use that total as the shared parking
requirement.
b. Location for Shared Parking:Shared parking spaces must be within five
hundred feet(500')of the primary entrance of all uses served unless remote
parking shuttle bus service is provided.
c. Agreement for Shared Parking:A shared parking plan will be enforced
through written agreement among all owners of record.An attested copy of
the agreement between the owners of record must be submitted to the zoning
administrator and it must be recorded by the applicant in a form established by
the city attorney.If building permits are required for the development,
recordation of the agreement must take place before building permit issuance
for any use utilizing the shared parking.A shared parking agreement may be
revoked only if all required off street parking spaces will be provided in
accordance with section 21 A.44.030 of this chapter.
2. Off Site Valet Parking:The zoning administrator may approve valet parking as a
means of satisfying otherwise applicable off street parking requirements as
required by section 21A.44.030 of this chapter if:
a. Adequate assurances are provided attesting to the continued operation of the
valet parking,such as a long-term contract with a provider or a contract for
lease of off site parking spaces;
b. The design of the valet parking does not cause customers who do not use the
valet services to park off the premises or cause queuing in the right-of-way;
and
c. The valet parking service is conspicuously posted outside the establishment
and near the main entrance.
3. Modification of Parking Geometries:The zoning administrator may authorize
parking geometry configurations other than those normally required by city code
or policy if such parking geometries have been approved,and the reasons
therefore explained in writing,by the city transportation director.In no case shall
parking geometry modifications be allowed if they would in any way impact
spaces designated for person with disabilities.
4. Use of Excess Parking in Park-and-Ride Lots:Park-and-ride lots that are not used
to capacity may be used for a new development's required parking provided that
the lot is within one thousand feet(1,000')of the development and the applicant
can demonstrate to the zoning administrator's satisfaction that the lot is
underutilized and that use of the excess parking spaces will not interfere with the
park-and-ride use of the lot.An agreement between the property owners of the
development and the park-and-ride lot is required and a copy of the agreement
shall be submitted to the zoning administrator and recorded by the applicant in a
form established by the city attorney.
5. Off Site Parking Facilities: Off site parking facilities under shared ownership or
through a lease agreement may, in districts where they are specifically allowed as
permitted or conditional uses, be used to satisfy the requirements of this title for
off street parking, subject to the following requirements:
a. The maximum distance between the proposed use and the closest point of the
offsite parking facility shall not exceed one thousand feet (1,000'). However,
in the D-1 district, such distance shall not exceed one thousand two hundred
feet (1,200').
b. Projects requiring off site, shared, and/or alternative parking in areas of the
city where a UI zoning district abuts a D-1 district, the following apply:
(1) For a project located within a UI district, the area available for offsite,
shared, and/or alternative parking shall not exceed five hundred feet (500')
within the UI district unless the D-1 district is located within one thousand
two hundred feet (1,200'), in which case the area available for offsite,
shared, and/or alternative parking may extend up to one thousand two
hundred feet (1,200') from the project in the direction of the D-1 district;
(2) For a project located within a D-1 district, the area available for offsite,
shared, and/or alternative parking shall not exceed one thousand two
hundred feet (1,200'); however, if the UI district is located within one
thousand two hundred feet (1,200'), the area available for offsite, shared,
and/or alternative parking shall not extend into the UI district more than
five hundred feet (500');
(3) The maximum distance between the proposed use and the offsite, shared,
and/or alternative parking shall be measured radially from the closest
property line of the proposed use to the closest property line of the offsite,
shared, and/or alternative parking;
(4) Parking spaces shall not be counted more than once in offsite, shared,
and/or alternative parking plans for different facilities, except where
different plans comply with offsite, shared, and/or alternative parking
regulations due to hours of operation, days of usage, or other reasons.
c. Off site parking to support uses in the CB, CN, RB, MU, R-MU, R-MU-35
and R-MU-45 zones or a legal nonconforming use in a residential zone need
not comply with the maximum five hundred foot (500') distance limitation,
provided the applicant can demonstrate that a viable plan to transport patrons
or employees has been developed. Such plans include, but are not limited to,
valet parking or a shuttle system. After July 31, 2008, no new offsite parking
facilities may be created in any residential zoning district, except in the RB,
RO, R-MU, R-MU-35 and R-MU-45 zoning districts. The zoning
administrator has the authority to make discretionary decisions concerning the
provisions of table 21A.44.030 of this chapter when actual data is presented
which supports a change in the parking requirement.The zoning administrator
may require a traffic and/or parking impact study in such matters.
d. Off site parking facilities shall be under the same ownership or leasehold
interest as the lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking
facilities are accessory.Private possession of off street parking facilities may
be either by deed or by long term lease.The deed or lease shall require the
owner and/or heirs,successors or assigns to maintain the required number of
parking facilities through contract for the duration of five(5)years.The city
shall be notified when the contract is terminated.If for any reason the lease is
terminated during the five(5)year minimum contractual period,the lessee
shall either replace the parking being lost through the terminated lease,or
obtain approval for alternative parking requirements.Pursuant to obtaining a
building permit or conditional use approval,documentation of the offsite
parking facility shall be recorded against both the principal use property and
the property to he used for offsite parking.
6. In all zoning districts other than single-or two-family residential districts,credit
for on street parking shall be allowed to satisfy some or all off street parking
required in section 21A.44.030 of this chapter.For single-and two-family uses,
regardless of the underlying zoning district,on street parking cannot be used to
satisfy required off street parking.On street parking cannot be used to satisfy
ADA required parking.Such credit shall require site plan review approval and
shall meet the following requirements:
a. Parking must be permitted without time restrictions along the streets to be
used;
b. All on street parking facilities shall be designed in conformance with the
standards established by the city transportation director;
c. Prior to approving any requests for on street parking,the zoning administrator,
in consultation with the city transportation director,shall determine that the
proposed on street parking will not materially adversely impact traffic
movements and related public street functions;and
d. Credit for on street parking shall be limited to the number of spaces provided
along the street frontage adjacent to the use.
7. Parking Exemptions for Proximity to Mass Transit:For any new multi-family
residential,commercial,office or industrial development within one-quarter(1/4)
mile of a fixed transit station,the minimum number of parking stalls required
according to Section 21A.44.030 can be reduced by fifty percent(50%).
8. Parking Exemptions for Pedestrian Friendly Development:
a. Applicability: Any business located in the CB, CN, RB, MU, R-MU, R-MU-
35 and R-MU-45 zoning districts and classified in table 21A.44.030 as
"recreational, cultural or entertainment" or as "retail goods and services" may
be granted a partial exemption from the off street parking requirements to the
extent authorized below and provided the requirements of this subsection are
met.
b. For any business that has pedestrian friendly amenities, such as bike racks,
baby buggy parking areas, benches or other similar pedestrian-oriented
amenities, which are located within one hundred feet (100') of the entrance to
the business, either on public or private property, the first two thousand five
hundred (2,500) square feet of the building area shall be excluded from
parking calculations and exempt from parking requirements. Any such
pedestrian oriented amenities must be permanently affixed to the property and
shall be installed and maintained at the property owner or business owner's
expense. Any pedestrian oriented amenities to be located on public property
may only be installed pursuant to authorization granted by the city, and upon
proof of adequate insurance coverage to protect the city from liability.
c. For any business which meets the criteria set forth in subsection B.8.b of this
section, and which also has time limited on street parking of two (2) hours or
less within one hundred feet (100') of the entrance to the business, an
additional one thousand (1,000) square feet of the building area shall be
excluded from parking calculations and exempt from parking requirements.
Any request to change unlimited on street parking to time limited on street
parking must be reviewed and approved by the city transportation director.
d. For any business which meets the criteria set forth in subsection B.8.b of this
section and which also has angular parking spaces which provide traffic
calming and provide shorter unprotected crossing distances by narrowing the
roadway within one hundred feet (100') of the entrance to the business, an
additional one thousand (1,000) square feet of building area shall be excluded
from parking calculations and exempt from parking requirements. Any request
to create angular on street parking spaces where such parking does not now
exist, must be reviewed and approved by the city transportation director.
e. For any business which meets the criteria set forth in subsections B.8.b, B.8.c
and B.8.d of this section, the first five thousand (5,000) square feet of building
area shall be excluded from parking calculations and exempt from parking
requirements.
