[R.O. 2011 §34-90; Ord. No. 6139 §1(Exh. A (part)), 1997]
A.
It
is the purpose of these off-street parking and loading requirements
to provide for sufficient accessory use areas for the temporary parking
of motor vehicles and for loading and unloading of transport vehicles
associated with large multi-family dwellings, commercial uses, and
industrial uses. The requirements for off-street parking and loading
spaces are intended to reduce the congestion on the streets due to
excessive use of such streets for parking and/or loading and unloading
of motor vehicles.
B.
However,
certain exceptions from these requirements are provided for under
special circumstances. These exceptions are provided as a practical
matter so as not to unduly limit the reuse of existing developed properties
by strictly imposing off-street parking space standards. Furthermore,
because substantial public parking supply is available in the "CC"
district, certain exceptions from these requirements are provided
for in this district. Even with the exceptions from the regulations
contained in this Article, it is not the intent to permit such exceptions
that would result in undue impacts of overflow parking from one (1)
use onto other properties or public rights-of-way.
[R.O. 2011 §34-91; Ord. No. 6139 §1(Exh. A (part)), 1997]
For every use, activity or structure permitted by this Chapter,
and for all buildings or structures erected in accordance therewith,
there shall be provided sufficient space for access and off-street
standing; parking; circulation; unloading and loading of motor vehicles
that may be expected to transport their occupants, whether as patrons,
residents, customers, employees, guests or otherwise, to an establishment,
activity or place of residence at any time under normal conditions
for any purpose. Except as otherwise provided for in this Article,
when a use is expanded or changed, accessory off-street parking and
loading shall be provided in accordance with the regulations herein
for the area or capacity of such expansion or change.
