8.76.030
8.71).040
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
I. 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 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.

by Section 8.76.080 for each Use Type, 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.
O. 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

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:
I. 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

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:
1. 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.
3. 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 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.

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.
G. Parking Variance. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, a Variance shall be obtained
to allow deviations from provisions of this Chapter which govern Parking Requirements by Use
Type (Section 8.76.080), and Loading Requirements (Section 8.76.090). A parking variance
