CHAPTER 8.76 OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING
REGULATIONS
8.76.010 Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of the requirements for off-street
parking established by this Chapter are to minimize traffic congestion and hazards
to motorists and pedestrians, to provide safe, attractive, and convenient off-street
parking facilities with vehicular access to all land uses, to provide off-street
parking in proportion to the needs generated by varying land uses, to ensure
access to projects by emergency response vehicles, and to ensure that parking
areas are compatible with the surrounding land uses.
8.76.020 Applicability. Every use hereafter commenced, every private parking facility or
garage, and every building or structure hereafter erected or altered, shall have
permanently maintained off-street parking facilities and vehicular loading spaces,
as required by the provisions of this Chapter. These regulations do not apply to
parking garages and facilities of governmental agencies. Rev. Ord 28-99
(12/21/99)
8.76.030 Maintenance. It shall be unlawful for any person, owning, leasing or controlling
a building or structure to fail, neglect or refuse to provide and maintain adequate
parking facilities as hereinafter provided.
8.76.040 General Regulations.
A. Changes in Use. When an existing use is enlarged, increased or intensified, or a new use
having a greater parking requirement than the previous use is proposed, the required
number of parking spaces for the new use or existing, enlarged, increased or intensified
use shall be calculated and provided as specified by Section 8.76.080.
B. Continuing Obligation. The maintenance of the parking and loading spaces required
shall be a continuing obligation of the owner of the property upon which the building or
structure is located as long as the building or structure exists and the use requiring such
space continues. It shall be unlawful for an owner of a building or structure affected by
these requirements to discontinue, change or dispense with or to cause the
discontinuance, sale or transfer of such building or structure, without establishing
alternative spaces which conform to those requirements; or for any person, firm, or
corporation to use such building or structure without providing such required parking or
loading spaces, in compliance with these regulations.
C. Cross Access Encouraged. Applicants for commercial and industrial developments
should be encouraged to provide cross-access to adjacent non-residential properties for
convenience, safety and efficient circulation of motor vehicles. A Mutual Access
Agreement shall be executed where cross-access is provided.

Chapter 8.76
D. Gross Floor Area. The computation of he number of parking spaces required for a
structure or use is based on the gross floor area of the structure or use the parking serves.
E. Guest Parking. Required guest parking in residential zoning districts shall be so
designated and restricted for the use of guests.
F. Maintenance. All parking and storage areas shall be maintained so that the pavement is
structurally sound, clean and free of dust, mud or trash and striped to City standards. All
pavement repair, striping, reconstruction, or restoration work shall be done in accordance
with City standards.
G. Multiple-Use Projects. Where a project contains more than one use type (and typically
multiple tenant spaces) such as offices, restaurants, and retail sales, the amount of parking
to be provided shall be the total of that required by Section 8.76.080, Parking
Requirements by Use Type, for each use type, except as otherwise provided by Section
8.76.050 below, Adjustment to the Number of Parking Spaces.
H. New Buildings or Development Projects Without Known Tenants. If the type of
tenants that will occupy a non-residential building are not known at the time of the
development entitlement or building permit approval, the amount of parking to be
provided shall be the minimum number of parking spaces required by Section 8.76.080
for a mix of use types typical of comparable buildings or development projects in that
zoning district as determined by the Director of Community Development. The intent of
this section is to ensure sufficient parking by anticipating a typical use type mix which is
appropriate to the design and nature of the building or development project.
1. No Double Counting of Parking and Loading Spaces. No area may be utilized and
counted both as a required parking space and a required loading space.
J. Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan Required. All uses which require a building
permit, site development review or conditional use permit shall be accompanied by an
Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan unless waived by the Director. The contents of the
Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan shall be to the satisfaction of the Director of
Community Development. The Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan may be
incorporated into the Site Plan for the Site Development Review or Conditional Use
Permit. No building permit, site development review or conditional use permit will be
approved unless its Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan complies with the requirements
of this Chapter.
K. Rounding. Where the number of required parking spaces results in a fraction of 0.50 or
higher, the requirements shall be rounded up to the next whole space.
L. Tenant Spaces With Accessory Storage. When a tenant has enclosed accessory storage
in excess of 2,000 square feet, the required parking for that portion of the tenant space
City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance 76-2 September, 1997
Amended November 2009
OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS
Chapter 8.76
dedicated to storage shall be calculated as specified by Section 8.76.080 for the
Warehousing and Distribution use type which is one parking space per 1,000 square feet
of warehousing area. The required parking for the remainder of the tenant space shall be
calculated as specified in Section 8.76.080 for the primary use.
M. Tenant Space With Multiple Functions.
1. Large tenant space. When a large tenant space (as determined by the Director of
Community Development) contains several use types, such as an office,
manufacturing, and a cafeteria, the amount of parking to be provided shall be the
total of that required by Section 8.76.080 for each Use Twe, except as otherwise
provided by Section 8.76.050 below, Adjustment to the Number of Parking
Spaces.
2. Small tenant space. When a small tenant space (as determined by the Director of
Community Development) contains several use types, the amount of parking to be
provided for the tenant space shall be calculated as specified by Section 8.76.080
for the primary Use Type, except as otherwise provided by Section 8.76.050
below, Adjustment to Number of Required Parking Spaces, for the entire gross
floor area of the tenant space.
N. Use. The word "use" shall mean both type and intensity of the use, and that a change in
use shall be subject to all of the requirements of this Chapter.
0. Uses Not Listed. Requirements for uses not specifically listed herein shall be determined
by the Director of Community Development, based upon the requirements for comparable
uses and upon the particular characteristics of the use. Additional parking for specific
uses may also be required upon determination by the Director of Community
Development and the Planning Commission.
8.76.050 Adjustment to the Number of Parking Spaces
A. Compact Car Space Substitution. Parking lots with 20 or more spaces may substitute
compact car spaces for up to 35 percent of the total spaces required. Each compact space
shall be labeled "Compact" or "C".
B. Motorcycle Space Substitution. Parking lots with 40 or more spaces may replace
regular spaces with motorcycle spaces. One regular space may be replaced for each 40
required spaces. Motorcycle spaces shall be a minimum size of 3 by 6 feet.
C. Off-Site Parking. Where required parking for a use type cannot be feasibly provided on
the same site as an approved use, the Zoning Administrator may allow the required
parking to be located on an adjacent parcel pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit subject
to all of the following requirements:
City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance 76-3 September, 1997
Amended November 2009
OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS
Chapter 8.76
1. Conditional Use Permit Findings can be made.
2. The most distant parking space from a non-residential use type is not more than
400 feet from the use and the most distant parking space from a residential use
type is not more than 150 feet from the use.
3. Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements as may
be deemed necessary by the Director of Community Development are executed to
assure that the required parking spaces are provided to the principal use for the
life of the documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements.
4. The parking lot site is not located in a residential zone unless the principal use
requiring the parking is also allowed in a residential zone.
5. The parking lot site is not within a road easement or private street.
D. Parking Exception. The Director of Community Development may grant a Parking
Exception of up to 10% of the required parking spaces when necessary due to unusual
design situations. A study shall be prepared by a traffic engineer addressing the request
for a Parking Exception. Any approval of a Parking Exception shall be subject to the
approval of that study by the Community Development Director.
E. Parking Reductions For An Individual Use. When a reduction of off-street parking is
proposed because an applicant for a proposed use believes the number of parking spaces
required for their use as specified in Section 8.76.080 is not applicable, because the use
would function differently than the generic use type and associated parking standards
established in this Chapter, the Zoning Administrator may grant a reduction in off-street
parking requirements pursuant to Chapter 8.100, Conditional Use Permit, if:
Conditional Use Permit Findings can be made.
2. The Applicant submits a parking study prepared by a qualified consultant
analyzing the parking demands of the proposed use and the parking demands of
similar uses in similar situations, demonstrating that the required parking
standards are excessive, and proposing alternate parking standards which are
appropriate and ensure that there will not be a parking deficiency.
Overflow parking will not impact any adjacent use.
F. Parking Reductions For Shared Parking. When shared off-street parking is proposed
between two or more adjacent use types, the Zoning Administrator may grant a reduction
in off-street parking requirements (from the sum of the parking required by each use type)
in compliance with Chapter 8.100, Conditional Use Permit. Reductions for shared
City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance 76-4 September, 1997
Amended November 2009

Chapter 8.76
parking may be granted if a report by a registered traffic engineer shows that requirements
1-4 below are met and if requirement 5 is met:
1. The Conditional Use Permit findings can be made.
2. A sufficient number of spaces is provided to meet the greatest parking demands of
the participating use types and to ensure that there will not be a parking
deficiency.
3. Satisfactory evidence is provided that the use types, by their natures and operating
times, will not conflict with each other.
4. Overflow parking will not adversely affect any adjacent use.
5. Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements as may
be deemed necessary by the Zoning Administrator are executed to assure that the
required parking spaces provided are maintained and that uses with similar hours
and parking requirements as those uses sharing the parking facilities remain for
the life of the documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements.

Amended November 2009
OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS
Chapter 8.76
1. Access. All parking areas shall provide suitable maneuvering room so that all
vehicles may enter an abutting street in a forward direction. The Director of
Public Works may approve exceptions for single-family homes and other
residential projects. No parking spaces shall be located so that a vehicle will
maneuver within 20 feet of a vehicular entrance measured from the right-of-way.
2. Bicycle Racks. Parking lots with 20 or more spaces in non-residential zoning
districts shall provide one bicycle parking space in a bicycle rack for each 40
vehicular parking spaces. In multi-family residential complexes, one bicycle
storage space shall be provided within each residence or in lockable containers or
spaces if not within the individual residence. Bicycle racks shall be designed to
provide a minimum of four bicycle spaces in each rack, and so that a bicycle can
be secured to the rack. The location of the bicycle rack shall not encroach into the
sidewalk which would reduce the unencumbered width of the sidewalk to less
than four (4) feet. Bicycle racks shall be placed in a location where they shall
have adequate lighting and can be surveilled by the occupants.
3. Circulation Aisle Width Without Parking. The minimum width of a two-way
drive aisle with no parking on either side of the drive aisle is twenty (20) feet.
The minimum width of a one-way drive aisle with no parking on either side of the
drive aisle is twelve (12) feet.
4. Circulation Aisle for Emergency Access. The minimum width of a drive aisle
needed for an emergency response vehicle shall be twenty (20) feet.
5. Compact Parking Space Location. Compact parking spaces shall generally be
located in one or more continuous areas, and shall generally not be intermixed
with spaces designed for full-sized cars unless required by design problems.
6. Controlled Access Required. All parking spaces (including garage spaces)
required for any land use other than a single-family or two-family dwelling shall
be designed and located to provide for vehicle maneuvering on the site so that
vehicles will enter any adjacent public right-of-way or private road in a forward
direction. All circulation systems shall be approved by the Director of Public
Works.
7. Dimensional Requirements.
a. Parking space sizes. Full-size parking spaces shall be 9 feet in width and
20 feet in length. Compact parking spaces shall be 8 feet wide and 17 feet
in length. The length of parking spaces may be reduced by 2 feet if the

The minimum unobstructed ceiling height shall be 7 feet, 6 inches. The
minimum garage door width for a private two-car garage shall be 16 feet.
The Director of Community Development can administratively reduce
these dimensions under unusual circumstances if the reduction is
warranted by unavoidable constraints in design.
Parking structures. Parking structures may be subject to dimensional
adjustments based on utilization (i.e., public or private garage with or
without an attendant), but in no case shall the stall width be less than 8
feet, 6 inches. Reductions in design standards shall be subject to approval
by the Director of Public Works.
