5 (Multifamily- Medium Density) and MF-3 (Multifamily- Urban)zoning districts.
6 (2) Standards. Driveways and improved surfaces shall be constructed and designed pursuant to the
7 driveway standards as stated in the Design and Construction Standards Transportation Criteria
8 Manual (DACS), as adopted or amended by the city.
9 (3) Driveway maintenance. Improved driveways and improved surfaces shall be maintained in good
10 and safe condition, free of holes, cracks, spoiling or other failures that may affect the use,
11 drainage or longevity of the material. This shall not prohibit the use of approved surfaces
12 specifically designed to include an alternative component, for example, grass or sand between
13 paving stones.
14 (4) Street yard coverage. For non-corner residential lots, no combination of improved driveways
15 and/or improved surfaces shall cover more than 50 percent of the street yard. For corner
16 residential lots, no combination of improved driveways and/or improved surfaces shall cover more
17 than 25 percent of the street yard. The regulations of this subsection shall not affect or prohibit
18 the construction of the minimum driveway, as required by the DACS.
19 (c) Screening. Where vehicle parking on a residential lot is required to be screened, the screening shall
20 consist of:
21 (1) A solid, opaque fence or wall at least six(6)feet in height;
22 (2) Vegetation consisting of a solid hedge row or evergreen shrubs, or trees and shrubs, providing
23 full screening from the ground to a minimum height of six(6)feet; or
24 (3) A combination of the subsections (c)(1) and (2) of this section.
25 Screening shall not be required in the rear yard for vehicles parked on an improved driveway that

27 (d) Unimproved driveways and unimproved parking areas; nonconforming use.
28 (1) An unimproved driveway and an unimproved parking area, which are located in a street yard or
29 a side yard shall be considered as nonconforming uses and subject to the regulations regarding
30 nonconforming uses in Sec. 2-98(c). Specifically, such unimproved driveway or unimproved
31 parking area shall not be extended or expanded, nor changed except to an improved driveway,
32 an improved surface used for parking, or an unimproved surface.
33 (2) If the building or structure that is served by the unimproved driveway is damaged or destroyed
34 to an extent greater than 50 percent of its fair market value (as determined by the most recent
35 appraised value of the appraisal district in which the building or structure is located), and if such
36 building or structure is repaired or replaced, the unimproved driveway shall no longer be
37 permitted, and all off-street parking shall be required to be on an improved driveway.

3 street parking shall be required to be on an improved driveway.
4 Sec. 8-47. -Alternative parking plan and shared parking.
5 (a) Alternative parking plan. An alternative parking plan may be approved by the zoning administrator for
6 specific developments with uses subject to minimum parking requirements that are deemed to require
7 a different amount of parking than the standards shown in the off-street parking requirements table.
8 Uses without minimum parking requirements may voluntarily submit an alternative parking plan. The
9 zoning administrator shall establish conditions necessary to insure the adequacy of future on-site
10 parking when approving an alternate parking plan. Any alternative standard shall meet the criteria
11 below:
12 (1) The use of the building is specific and occupied by a single user.
13 (2) The applicant provides a detailed breakdown of his or her parking requirements indicating
14 employee counts, shift distribution and visitor or customer needs.
15 (3) The applicant provides a site plan showing how additional parking to meet standard requirements
16 would be provided if the use changed or parking needs increase.
17 (b) Shared parking. Required parking for one use may satisfy the requirements for another use if the
18 nonresidential uses have different peak hour parking needs. Uses without minimum parking
19 requirements may participate in shared parking agreements on a voluntary basis. In order for shared
20 parking to be approved, the following requirements must be met:
21 (1) The following documentation shall be submitted to the city as part of the review process if
22 requesting shared parking:
23 a. The names and addresses of the uses and the owners or tenants that are sharing the
24 parking;
25 b. The location and number of parking spaces that are being shared;
26 c. An analysis showing that the peak parking demands for the different uses occur at different
27 times and that the parking area will supply at least the minimum number of required spaces
28 for each use during its respective peak parking time;
29 d. A legal instrument such as an easement that guarantees access to the joint parking for all
30 uses;
31 e. A shared parking agreement executed by all the users and the owner of the property
32 proposed to be used for parking; and
33 f. The agreement shall be notarized and recorded, with a provision that the consent of the city
34 must be obtained for termination of the agreement.
35 (2) In the event of the termination of an existing shared parking agreement for required on-site
36 parking, a new shared parking agreement shall be executed within 60 days prior to termination.
37 If a new shared parking agreement is not executed, then documentation shall be submitted to the
38 zoning administrator supporting that the uses on all affected properties meet their respective
39 parking requirements. This process of amending a shared parking agreement applies to all
40 existing parking agreements impacted by sale, change of use, or expansions on any affected
41 property.
42 (c) Alternative agreements. In limited cases, off-site parking agreements, and reciprocal access and
43 parking agreements may be approved by the zoning administrator.

1 Sec. 8-48. - Rules for computing requirements.
2 The following rules apply when computing off-street parking and loading requirements:
3 (a) Multiple uses. Lots containing more than one use shall provide parking and loading in an amount
4 equal to the total of the requirements for all uses that have minimum parking requirements; uses
5 without minimum parking requirements do not contribute to the total.
6 (b) Fractions. When measurements of the number of required spaces result in a fractional number,
7 any fraction of one-half or less will be rounded down to the next lower whole number and any
8 fraction of more than one-half will be rounded up to the next higher whole number.
9 (c) Area measurements. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all square-footage-based parking and
10 loading standards shall be computed on the basis of gross floor area, as defined in Sec. 1-50.
11 (d) Occupancy-based standards. For the purpose of computing parking requirements based on
12 employees, residents or occupants, calculations shall be based on the largest number of persons
13 working on any single shift, the maximum enrollment or the maximum fire-rated capacity,
14 whichever is applicable and whichever results in the greater number of spaces.
15 (e) Unlisted uses. Upon receiving a development application for a use not specifically listed in the
16 off-street parking requirements table, the zoning administrator shall apply the off-street parking
17 standard specified for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use or require a
18 parking study in accordance with an alternative parking plan, as described in Sec. 8-47, above.
19 Sec. 8-49. - Location, setbacks and buffering of required parking.
20 Except where an alternative parking plan has been approved by the zoning administrator, all off-street
21 parking spaces shall be located on the same lot as the principal use. Unless otherwise expressly stated,
22 off-street parking areas shall be set back in accordance with Sec. 8-10.
23 Sec. 8-50. - Parking space and parking lot design.
