Township of North Fayette, PA Parking and Loading Requirements

In all zoning districts, every use which requires the receipt or distribution, by vehicle, of material or merchandise, shall provide off-street parking and loading berths in accordance with the requirements of the following sections.

In addition to required off-street parking and loading facilities, adequate storage areas for vehicles awaiting loading and unloading shall be provided. Under no circumstances shall vehicles be stored or wait in a manner that blocks access to a public ROW.

Off-street parking and loading spaces shall be provided in accordance with the specifications in this Part 9 in any district whenever any new use is established, or existing use is enlarged.

§ 27-902 General Requirements.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Any new use, expansion of an existing use, or change of use in any zoning district shall comply with the following minimum requirements for the provision of off-street parking and loading spaces.

When the calculation of required parking and/or loading spaces results in a requirement of a fractional parking space, any fraction shall be counted as one parking space.

Where more than one use exists on a lot, parking and loading requirements for each use shall be provided.

A landowner and/or developer shall follow the specific requirements of the American Disability Act of 2004 for off-street parking requirements.

Table 12 in this Part 9 details the parking requirements and specifies the number of spaces required for various land use categories.

§ 27-903 Parking Ratios.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Applicability. The minimum parking ratio standards apply to all zoning districts except as may be modified in the provisions of this chapter.

Table 12 establishes the minimum number of parking spaces required for the uses indicated. Parking requirements may be met by one or more of a combination of the following methods:

On-site parking. A use shall provide the minimum number of required spaces for all uses located on the lot or site pursuant to Table 12. Only spaces that are designed consistent with this section are counted toward the minimum parking required. The following provisions apply when providing the minimum number of required on-site parking spaces:

(1)

Required parking for single-family dwellings may be stacked and do not require separate access to each required space.

(2)

No part of a parking or loading space required for any building to comply with this chapter shall be included as part of a parking or loading space required for another building.

(3)

Spaces at gasoline pumps and bays for auto repair/service are not counted toward the minimum parking required.

Shared Parking. Parking spaces required under this section may be provided cooperatively for two or more uses on a site as shared subject to the requirements of this section. Off-street parking requirements of a given use may be met with off-site, off-street parking facilities of another use when, and if, all of the following conditions are met:

(1)

The off-site, off-street parking facilities are located on adjacent parcels and are located within 300 feet of the proposed uses.

(2)

The parking demands of the individual uses, as determined by the Zoning Officer, based upon minimum off-street parking requirements, are such that the total parking demand of all the uses at any one time is less than the total parking stalls required.

(3)

A written agreement between the owners and lessees is executed in perpetuity. This written agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the Township Solicitor. Should the lease expire or otherwise terminate, the use for which the off-site parking was provided shall be considered in violation of its zoning approval and shall be subject to revocation. Continuation or expansion of the use shall be prohibited unless the use is brought into compliance with the parking regulations of this chapter.

(4)

The applicant shall provide calculations that demonstrate the individual and combined parking demands for the proposed shared parking uses during the following time periods:

Weekday daytime.

Weekday evening.

Weekend daytime.

Weekend evening.

An application for approval of a shared parking plan shall be filed with the Zoning Officer by the owner of the land area to be included within the cooperative parking plan, the owner or owners of all structures then existing on such land area, and all parties having a legal interest in such land area and structures. Sufficient evidence to establish the status of applicants as owners or parties in interest shall be provided. The application shall include plans showing the location of the uses or structures for which off-street parking facilities are required, the location of the off-street parking facilities, and the schedule of times used by those sharing parking in common. In the event the application also requires a subdivision or land development approval, the shared parking agreement requires approval of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.

Uses Not Identified. The Planning Commission shall determine the parking requirement for uses that do not correspond to the categories listed in Table 12. In such instances, the applicant shall provide a trip generation letter and other adequate information by which the proposal can be reviewed, which includes but may not necessarily be limited to the following:

Type of uses.

Number of employees.

Building design capacity.

Building occupancy load.

Square feet of sales area and service area.

Parking spaces proposed on site.

Number of accessible parking spaces.

Parking spaces provided elsewhere.

Hours of operation.

Multiple Uses. Where the application identifies accessory or multiple uses within a structure or multiple structures, the minimum standards shall apply to each use or the gross floor area of each structure. This provision does not apply where the applicant has sought and secured approval under the shared parking requirements of this chapter.

Fractional Measurements. When units or measurements determining the number of required off-street parking spaces result in a fractional space, then such fraction shall be rounded up to require a full off-street parking space.

Parking Needs Analysis. The number of off-street parking spaces and loading spaces required by Table 12 of this chapter may be reduced if a parking needs analysis demonstrates that the specified ratios in Table 12 exceed the total parking demand of all uses on the subject lot at any one time. The parking needs analysis is subject to the following conditions:

The parking needs analysis shall be signed and sealed by a licensed engineer.

The parking needs analysis, in the form of a narrative, shall include all information outlined in Part 9 of this chapter.

The parking needs analysis shall be approved by the Township's Board of Supervisors and the Township Traffic Engineer.

The landowner or developer shall update the Township-approved parking needs analysis upon any change in use of the subject lot.

§ 27-904 Off-Street Parking Design.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Size. Each off-street parking space shall have a minimum area of 180 square feet, exclusive of access drives or aisles, shall have minimum dimensions of nine feet in width and 20 feet in length and shall be maintained free from obstruction. Parking areas shall be designed to provide sufficient turnaround area so that vehicles are not required to back onto the cartway of any public street.

Access.

Where an existing lot does not adjoin a public or private street, alley, or easement of access, an access drive shall be provided leading to the parking areas.

Joint access to abutting parcels shall be provided wherever practical. This will result in the development of shared parking areas at vehicular access points.

Access to off-street parking areas shall be limited to well-defined locations, and in no case shall there be unrestricted access along the length of a street. The street frontage shall be curbed in accordance with the Township Public and Private Improvements Code, as amended.

[Amended by Ord. No. 503, 8/23/2022]

The number of access drives from a single lot or development to any public street shall not exceed two for every 400 feet of street frontage.

Except on corner lots, access drives shall be located at least 200 feet from the intersection of any two street ROW lines. Where a lot has frontage on more than one street, access shall be provided from the street with the lower traffic volume, if physically practical.

Access drives entering state highways are subject to a highway occupancy permit issued by the PennDOT. Access drives entering Township streets are subject to a Township-issued driveway permit pursuant to this chapter.

Access drives entering a county road shall be approved by Allegheny County. Said permits and approvals shall be obtained prior to commencement of any construction activity.

Each parking space shall have access directly to a driveway. Interior circulation of traffic shall be designed so that no driveway providing access to parking spaces shall be used as a through street. Interior traffic circulation shall be designed to ensure safety and access by emergency vehicles.

Internal Driveway System. All off-street parking lots with greater than 100 parking spaces shall include a separate internal driveway system which connects individual aisles to a public ROW. The purpose of the internal driveway system is to facilitate pedestrian and vehicular circulation, creating an interconnected circulation network.

Internal driveways shall be provided to permit on-site access to all parking and loading facilities and to permit emergency vehicle access.

Internal driveway systems shall be designed to connect into adjacent properties, where practical. The Township may require an easement be placed on the property to allow for future connection to the adjacent properties.

Sidewalks are required internally to parking area to allow safe transportation.

All parking areas containing three or more parking spaces shall include a turnaround that is designed and located so that vehicles can enter and exit the parking area without backing onto a public ROW.

Except as otherwise permitted, off-street parking facilities shall be located on the lots on which the use or structure for which they are provided is located.

All vehicular turning movements and maneuvering must take place on site.

The end of each parking bay shall have an endcap island of at least five feet in width. The endcap island area shall not be used in meeting required minimum parking space or travel aisle dimensions.

Safety Requirement. The Board of Supervisors shall consider whether safety requirements are warranted to reduce traffic hazards which endanger public safety. The landowner and/or developer shall be responsible for construction of any required islands, acceleration, deceleration, or turning lanes and shall bear the cost of installing any required traffic control devices, signs or pavement markings.

Marking. All parking spaces shall be clearly delineated by painted lines or markers. Delineated parking spaces shall be necessary, for safety or protection to adjacent structures or landscaped areas. All vehicular entrances and exits to parking areas shall be clearly marked for all conditions. Short-term visitor parking spaces shall be differentiated from long-term employee spaces by suitable markings. Accessible parking shall be appropriately marked.

10.

Parking Lot Curbs. All off-street parking lots, including loading areas, service areas and driveways, shall be curbed. All curbing shall be constructed only of concrete or another material approved by the Township Engineer. Vertical curbing must be constructed out of concrete or other suitable material. Asphalt and wedge curbing will not be accepted.

11.

Surfacing. All parking areas and access drives associated with the development of a major subdivision or PRDs shall have a paved concrete or bituminous surface, or any other surface approved by the Township Engineer, graded with positive drainage to dispose of surface water and be subject to any additional requirements of the SALDO.[1]

[1]

Editor's Note: See Ch. 22, Subdivision and Land Development.

12.

Parking Lot Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be designed to reflect the light away from any adjoining residential zoning district or existing residential use and away from any streets or highways. The spacing of lighting shall be determined based upon a Township-approved plan of photometrics. The lighting system shall furnish an average minimum of two footcandles during typical hours of operation. If required by this chapter for certain uses, lighting intensity shall be reduced between defined hours.

§ 27-905 Parking Areas Serving Residential Dwellings.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Parking requirements for single-family, two-family, and townhouse dwellings shall be met by providing the required spaces in an enclosed garage or in a private driveway, but not within a required yard, on the lot.

Parking for apartments shall be provided in a common paved, striped, and curbed off-street parking area(s) or structure.

§ 27-906 Parking Areas Serving Uses Other Than Residential Dwellings.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Parking requirements for all uses other than residential dwellings shall be met by providing a common paved, striped, and curbed off-street parking area(s) or structures.

§ 27-907 Driveways Serving Nonresidential Uses.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Single-lane and access drives that provide access to lots and parking areas shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide and a maximum of 12 feet wide. Two lane and access drives shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide and a maximum of 24 feet wide.

If parking spaces are aligned at less than 90°, driveways shall be restricted to one-way traffic and head-in parking only.

There shall be at least 15 feet between driveways at the street line and at least five feet between a driveway and a fire hydrant, catch basin, or lot line. There shall be at least 40 feet between a driveway and the ROW line of an intersecting street.

Adequate sight distance shall be provided, subject to review and approval by the Township Engineer. Driveways shall not exceed a slope of 10% within 12 feet of the street ROW line.

§ 27-908 Location of Parking Areas.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Required parking spaces shall be located on the same lot with the principal use.

No parking area containing more than five parking spaces shall be located closer than 10 feet to any adjoining lot line, and parking authorized in front yards shall be located at least 10 feet from the street ROW line.

§ 27-909 Stormwater Management.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

All paved or impervious parking areas shall be designed so that stormwater runoff shall not adversely affect adjacent lots. The method of stormwater management and the design of the proposed facilities shall be subject to the requirements of the SALDO,[1] Stormwater Management Ordinance (Chapter 19), and to the review and recommendation of the Township Engineer.

[1]

Editor's Note: See Ch. 22, Subdivision and Land Development.

§ 27-910 Off-Street Loading Design.

[Ord. No. 477, 5/11/2021]

Size. Each loading berth shall be at least 65 feet in length and 12 feet in width with an overhead clearance of 14 feet. The area used for loading berths shall not be used to satisfy parking area requirements.

Access. Loading berths shall be designed to provide sufficient turnaround area so that vehicles are not required to back onto public streets and the design shall be subject to review and approval by the Township Engineer. Loading berths shall have direct access to a driveway and shall be maintained free of obstruction.

Location. All loading berths shall be located on the same lot with the principal use they are intended to serve. No loading berth shall be located in a required front yard. Loading berths shall be located at least 30 feet from the nearest point of intersection of any two streets.

Screening. Loading berths shall be screened by an eight foot hedge, wall, or fence with a minimum opacity of 80% on all sides that face a residential use or a use within a residential zoning district.

Surfacing. All loading berths shall have a paved concrete or bituminous surface, graded with positive drainage to dispose of surface water.

Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate loading berths shall be designed to reflect away from any adjoining residential use or residential zoning district and away from any street or highway.

All supplies and equipment shall be stored within a completely enclosed building.

Exterior display and sales of building materials and/or equipment associated with the permitted principal use shall require an approval of a supply yard as an accessory use.

Exterior storage of building materials and/or equipment associated with the permitted principal use shall require an approval of a storage yard as an accessory use.

10.

The use shall be accessed directly from an arterial or collector street.
