ITEM NO.
~- ,
On September 2, 1997, the City Council adopted the comprehensive revision of the Dublin Zoning
Ordinance. Chapter8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations, was adopted as part of that
revision. The Planning Commission conducted a study session on Parking Regulations on May 25, 1999.,..1-\
At that study session, three main concerns were expressed about the adequacy of the parking requirements
for residences.
1. The number of parking spaces per dwelling unit for apartments and condominiums.
2. The number of guest parking spaces.
3. The distance these guest-parking spaces should be from the dwelling units they serve.
PARKING STUDY:
Staff conducted a parking study during the evening of August 5, 1999. Two apartment complexes,
Amador Lakes and Parkwood; two condominium complexes, California Highlands and California
Brookside; and one single family development, California Creekside were studied. The basic conclusion
from the parking study was that parking for the apartment complexes and condominium complexes are
adequate and in accordance with the current Parking Ordinance.
The single family project studied also provided adequate parking based on the current parking code,
because it has \,vide public streets and deep driveways. It was found that developments with lots of 4,000
square feet or less and narrow private streets with parking on one side of the street do not provide one on-
street parking space within 150 feet of each dwelling unit as desired by the City Council and Planning
Commission. It is recommended that the parking regulations be modified to require this. The detailed
analysis of the Parking Study is presented in Attachment 6.
ZOl\'1NG ORDlNANCE AMENDMENTS:
...,I.
Staff is proposing the following amendments to Chapter 8.76 of the Zoning Ordinance, Off-Street Parking
and Loading Regulations, to clarify language, correct problems or omissions within the regulations and
address issues that have arisen since the regulations were adopted. There are six major changes proposed
for the Parking Ordinance and eight minor changes. The proposed changes are presented in more detail in
Attachment No.6 to this Staff Report. A brief synopsis of each change, with additions in bold italics and
deletions in stri.l::etlrrOl1;h. for major changes, is presented below.
MAJOR CHANGES
1. '8.76.20 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.
The need for this new language became apparent when the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
proposed a temporary parking lot adjacent to Dublin Boulevard. City of Dublin Zoning
Regulations do not apply to other governmental agencies unless provided for by an annexation (or
other) agreement.
2.
8. 76.060.E. 7 Parking within a designated parking space. All vehicles shall be parked within
the confines of parking spaces as striped on the ground and as shown on an approved Off-
Street Parking and Loading Plan.
~
2
,
"T'
'. ' . .~
3.
This new language is proposed because persons operating Christmas.tree lots, pumpkin patches,
arts and crafts fairs, carnivals, booths in the Pasta Festival and fireworks.sales booths typically
occupy motorhomes near their booths for security reasons. These types of uses are permitted by
means ofa Temporary Use Permit (TUP) except for fireworks booths, which are regulated by the
Alameda County Fire Department. Staff can include administrative language in the TUP handouts
that would place reasonable restrictions on the location of motor homes and the times they can be
in place.
4.
8.76.060.F Parking of unlicensed or inoperable vehicles prohibited. ~o unlicensed or fieH-
operational inoperable vehicle shall be parked or stored in any zoning district unless otherwise
permitted by a Conditional Use Permit or if legitimately stored while being actively repaired (not
storedfor more than four weeks)bya permitted repair facility (non-residential zoning districts
only) in a front setback, area in front ofa residence or principal building but behind the front
, setback, street side setback in front of a fence, or on a driveway.
(:(
..:-... ~
This language would change "non-operational" to "inoperable" to be consistent with other
language in the Zoning Ordinance. It is proposed that the restriction regarding parking or storing
vehicles apply to any zoning district to make it clear that such vehicles must not be parked in non-
residential as well as residential zoning districts.. Additional language is proposed to allow
vehicles to be stored while being actively repaired (not stored for more than four weeks) by a
permitted repair facility in non-residential zoning districts. This language would recognize and
respect repair facilities that are actively repairing all of the vehicle on their property and would
also help address situations where auto repair facilities store derelict vehicles for long period of
time. Mixed~usecommercial areas where auto repair facilities are located can have parking
shortages if some parking spaces are used for long term storage of vehicles.
5. 8.76.080 BResidential Use Types. Residential Use Types shall provide off-street parking spaces
as follows:
'.--:{
.. '\.
~~
RESIDENTIAL USETYPES",", NUMBER,OF P~GSP A-CES. REQUIRED
Single Family/DuplexIMobile Home
Lots of4,000 square feet or less 2 in enclosed garage per dwelling plus one on-street
parking space per dwelling unit within 150 feet of
that dwelling unit. "
I Lots greater than-4,000 squarefeet 2 in enclosed garage per dwelling
',' ..,t'~'4
3
1\;
This language ensures that, for small lot subdivisions (4,000 square feet lots or less), at least one
on-street parking space will be provided for each dwelling unit that is within 150 feet of that
dwelling unit. This should ensure that adequate guest parking is available in small lot ~\
subdivisions.
,"
6. 8.76.080 D Commercial Use Types. Commercial Use Types shall provide off-street parking
spaces as follows:
COMMERCIAL USE TYPES NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
AutomobileN ehicle
Sales'and Service 1 per 1,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor display area,
1 per 250 square feet of office space, 1 per
400 square feet of repair space and one per
company vehicle
Outdoor storage 1 per 1,000 squarefeet
These language changes address parking requirements for automobile agencies and commercial
outdoor storage (such as the garden center at Target) that were omitted in the current language.
The parking standards are consistent with other office, repair space and outdoor storage parking
standards elsewhere in the Ordinance.
MINOR CHANGES
1.
8.76.060.E.6 Parking in Side, Street Side Yard and Rear Yard. The purpose for this proposed
language is to clarify a confusing sentence and make the language consistent with other sections of """"-)
the Ordinance.-
2.
8.76.060.1 Tandem Parking. This language will allow tandem parking to be applied more
flexibility than under the current regulations and would allow tandem parking within single-family
dwelling unit attached garages.
3. 8.76.070.A.2 BicycleRacks. This revision adds language requiring one bicycle parking space for
every 40 vehicular parking spaces. The earlier language was unclear. The proposed language
. _"__,,__~,_~_ W'Q'!!l~tb.-e__col1sistent_withexperiencegainedthrough recent shopping center proj ects.
4. 8.76.070.A.7.a ParkingSpace Size. This change is proposed for consistency with other Code
sections. No changes in space size are proposed.
5. 8.76.070.A.7.e Minimum Parking Dimensions. Changes are proposed to an existing table in the
Ordinance to bring stall depths for angled spaces and back up distance standards into conformity
with standard engineering practice and eliminate references to Disabled Accessible Parking (see
next item).
6. 8.76.070.A.8 Disabled Accessible Parking. The proposed language refers to State Title 24
requirements rather than specific standards.
/-,
7. 8.76.070.A.1A.a.1 Principal Residence. This language is being added to more clearly state ....,I.
where parking may occur on a residential lot and to bring the language into conformity with other
sections of the Ordinance.

8.
8.76.070.A.14.c Non-residential Lot. This language is being changed to bring it into conformity
with other sections of the Ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 134-97
The City Council adopted Resolution 134-97 on November 4, 1997, which establishes the enforcement
policy for the Zoning Ordinance, Building Code, Housing Code, and Property Maintenance Ordinance.
Attachment 1 to that Resolution establishes a procedure to be followed in investigating complaints about and
enforcing possible violations of the above-listed codes. The Resolution determines which code provisions
are to be enforced on a complaint basis or without a complaint. Several proposed Municipal Code changes
are' addressed in this Zoning Ordinance Amendment. Staff seeks direction from the City Council on whether
they should be enforced ona complaint basis or without a complaint. A listing of the Municipal Code
changes follows:
1) 8.76.060.E.6 Parking in Side, Street Side Yard, and RearYard. A maximum of two vehicles,
including RV's, may be parked at a residence in the following areas, if screened by a 6 foot high
fence or wall: in the Side Yard, Street Side Yard, Rear Yard, or the area between the Rear Yard
and the rear of the residence.
2) 8.76.070.A.14.a.l Principal Residence. Similar language to the section above.
3) 8.76.060.E.7 Parking within a designated parking space.
4) 8.76.060.E.8.b Living or sleeping in vehicle parked or stored ona lot.
5) 8.76.060.F Parking of unlicensed or inoperable ("Non-OP") vehicles prohibited.
This is currently.addressed indirectly through the Property Maintenance Ordinance. This change
H would providefor direct enforcement via the Zoning Ordinance.
" ",
':~'::' If the City Council directs that Resolution 134-97 be amended to add sections to be enforced, either with
or without complaint, Staffwill return with a revised Resolution at the December 21, 1999 meeting.
ENVIRONME1'.TAL
REVIEW:
On August 18, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution 103-97 finding that .the Comprehensive
Revision to the Zoning Ordinance, including Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations,
is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It can be seen with certainty that there
is no possibility that revising the Zoning Ordinance in this manner would have a significant effect on the
environment (Section 15061(b)(3). Various changes to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations
are proposed which.would not increase or create environmental impacts. These changes will have no
environmental impacts and are also exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that such amendments would have a
significant effect on the environment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, receive staff presentation and public
hearing,.close the public hearing, deliberate, waive reading and introduce the Ordinance amending
Chapter 8.76, Off -Street Parking and Loading Regulations of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning
:~..r Ordinance), give staff direction to Staff on enforcement of provisions of the Municipal Code, whether by
23 means of a complaint or without a complaint, and continue the public hearing to December 21, 1999
meeting.

SIMILAR VIOLATIONS IN TfiE IMMEDIATE AREA
FOR WInCH A COMPLAlNT IS NOT RECEIVED.
In establishing this policy, the City Council recognizes that a 'person whose property is being investigated
may point out several similar violations in the immediate area. It may be inequitable to require abatement
of a violation when the same violation may exist in the immediate vicinity and is not investigated because a
complaint is not received. In such situations any violation in the immediate ~icinity which is similar in
nature and readily visible or which is pointed out to the investigator will be enforced as though a complaint
had been registered.
"'-"
ANONYMOUS CO:MPLAlNTS.
All anonymous complaints will be investigated. However, no action will be taken on anonymous
complaints where the City Manager, Community Development Director or Building Official determines
that the matter does not warrant further action. These cases would be closed following the investigation
and a determination by the City Manager, Community Development Director or Building Official.
COMPLAINT TI\1FORlvfATION
Any person making a complaint shall give their name, address, and phone number. This is necessary so
that the complainant can be contacted and advised of the status of the investigation. It may also be
necessary to contact the complainant to secure additional information regarding the problem.

Cm. Johnson asked for the staff report.
}Va. Carrington presented the staff report. He stated thatthe.Planning Commission held a study session on
parking regulations in May of this year. The Commission directed Staff to look at parking standards ror
ap~-t:ments and condominiums, the nmnber of guest spaces provided for units, and the distance orthe
, guest spaces from the dwelling units. In addition to the changes to the parking study, Staffhas proposed
amendments to the parking regulations that would make it more effective. Staff looked at tvvo ap8J."1ment
complexes, .tl,mador Lakes, and Parl.-wood. Amador Lakes has 555 dwelling units with 474 parking
spaces that aren't _~si~ed t9 any particular unit and out of the 47:1 parking spaces, 114 'spaces were
vacant. He stated- that him and another Sta:.ff m~mbei ckove around Dublin'in the'rmddfe o(the night to
count parking spaces.
Cm. Oravetz asked the time they did their study. -
Mr. C8J."Tington stCltf>d they were out from 11 :00 n.m to 1 :00 a.m. The Parl.'Wood Apartments had a greater
':y-v~t::8!!cy_:@1:e; of the 217 unassigned spaces, 81 spaces were vacant. Staff also looked at California
ffighlands and California Brookside condominium projects. The Highlands have 246 dwelling units with

84 guest" parking spaces and out of those 84 spaces, 15 were vacant. He stated that condominium-parking
standards seem to work out fine, but the .5 guest parking spaces per dwelling unit really needs to be .....
enforc~d. California Creekside project has 154 single family units on 4,000 square fO,ot lots that have two """""
cars in the garage and 2 cars in the driveway. The advantage of California Creekside is it has public
streets, not the narrow private streets that are a problem. Staff is recommending that the Planning
Commission consider an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance which states that lots less than 4,000
square feet in size have one on street parling space within 150 feet of each dwelling unit.
Cm. Johnson asked if the apartment units and condominiums that Staff reviewed were filled with tenants.
Mr. Peabody stated the vacancy rate is very low.
Cm. Musser asked why Staff picked a Thursday night rather than a Friday or Saturday.
Mr. Carrington said Staffwas looking for an ordinary night when people are typically home. People
aren't typically home on the weekends.
Cm. Musser asked why the apartments and condominiums aren't required to have one parking space
within 150 feet like single family dwelling requirements.
Mr. Peabody said in an apartment complex it has always been two spaces per unit. In a condominium
project, the lots are tight and the parking is based on the size of the unit. A studio has one covered or
garaged parking space plus ~ guest space; a one bedroom unit has one covered or garaged parking space
plus ~ guest space and a two + bedroom unit has two covered or garaged parking space plus ~ guest '...",f
space.
Cm. Musser.stateq that scnne apaI:taien! complexes have par!cing -a 'great di~c_~ away from ~e units.
Mr. Carrington stated that some of the guest parking for California Brookside is in two large lots, one up
against Dublin Blvd., and one against Tassajara Creek which is over 150 feet in some cases.
Mr. Peabody stated they also have parking on the street Each individual project is different.
.. - - -... .-
Cm. Johnson asked if guest parking is assigned in condominiums.
Mr. Peabody said no.
Cm. Johnson said Kildara's parking spaces are numbered.
WIT. Carrington said that guest parking is an issue for several of the small communities in Dublin. He
stated that some of the older complexes were approved by the County V\ith a lack of guest parking.
Cm. Oravetz asked about the Woodlands units.
Mr. Carrington said Staff did not study the Woodlands.

Cm. JOMson asked if Arbor Creek built garages after the complex was built.
Mr. C;arrington said Amador Lakes built garages because they had parking problems. ,
Cm. Johnson said Amador Lakes built the garages and there was still a parking problem. He asked if the
ruling was changed on the garages and if they were for cars, not for storage.
Mr. Carrington said when Staff did the study there was a lot of available parking.
Mr. Peabody said that apartment complexes and condominiums seem to be fme with standards the City
has. He said that the real issue is the small lot single family less than 4,000 square feet.
Cm. Musser was concerned with driveways with the small lot units. There isn't adequate driveway apron
for the vehicles to park on. The other issue is the lineal frontage on the street, and narrow lots there isn't
adequate parking available and end up 'with less than one per lot.
Mr. Peabody said that corner lots have more than one space. In the Standard Pacific project there '\'as
more than one parking space per lot.
Cm. Musser said that even if the driveways are paired with a total of26 feet there isn't enough room to
get the cars in.
::::=;:::., :Mr. Peabody said that is if the space is directly ne>...1: to the house.
Cm. Musser said no; somewhere within the subdivision.
:Mr. Peabody: said forS:tmward they redesi~~d a subdi~sion to put a bay ina particular location because
. .-. - .
they were unable to get a space within a 150 feet of that unit.
Cm. Johnson stated that 'with the number of cars parked in the City he could see situations where there
wouldn't be a parking space in front of a specific home within 150 feet. If there is adequate parking

:Mr. Peabody said that if there is a space avirilable within a 150 feet, that is a step in the right direction. It
can't always be guaranteed, if there is an overflow or someone has three cars.
Cm. Musser said he shares the concern in an auto court situation where there aren't driveways.

Cm. Johrison said the Starv.'ard development is re8l1y going to have parking problems.
:Mr. Peabody said it has one space and everyone will be looking for that one space.

Cm. Johnson said we couldn't require parking within 150 feet in an apartment complex, because they are
unassigned spaces.
'...",
Mi. Peabody said another consideration that when it is a higher density the parking standards change
dramatically. People who live in an urban environment usually don't have as many cars compared to
single family environment.
Mr. Carrington asked if there are any other questions about the parking study. There were no questions.
He continued 'with his presentation and addressed public and private parking facilities that were omitted
from the Ordinance. The Bart parking lot that is being proposed adjacent Dublin Blvd. where everyone is
currently parking illegally. Bart would like to put in parking 'With their parking standards, which are a lot
denser than Dublin's. He stated that some of the language has been changed for clarification regarding
recreational vehicles. He showed an overhead to point out allowable parking \\ithin the setbacks of a
residential unit.
Cm. Johnson asked if the Council was going to enforce the regulations.
Mr. Carrington said that has not been addressed. Typically residential violations are treated as a
complaint basis.
Mr. Peabody said if it is a property maintenance issue and the car is inoperable, Staff would enforce
proactively.
Mr. Carrington said that Buzz Kalkowski abated 900+ vehicles in the year and halfhe worked for Dublin. '......,
That alone increased property values" The change being made would require parking within a designated
parking space. The big violator is 600 Guitars-on Dublin Blvd. Another change is Temporary Use
Permits for Christmas-Tree 10tS,'Arts & Crafts fairs, feStivals, fire work sales, etc., and the people \\ill
park ne:x."! to booth and this amendment will recognize that. Staff will write in some regulations as part of
the temporary use permit to address the location of motor homes. Another change for clarification would
be inoperable vehicles are not allowed in any zoning districts. The language would sayan inoperable
vehicle can not be stored in any zoning district unless legitimately stored while being actively repaired in
other words not stored for more: than 4-weeks by a permitted repair facility in a non-residential zoning
district. _.: .,..:- '-
Mr. Peabody stated that tJ:1ere are a few places in Dublin that store inoperable vehicles that stay there for
to long. .
Cm. Johnson asked about someone workIDg on an antique car that might take 2-3 years to complete.
:Mr. Carrington said the City would not notice it unless someone complained abouUt.
Cm. Musser asked ifwe want to addsonie language to permit recreational vehicle storage. For example,
language that says unless otherwise permitted by use permit.

other businesses.

MI. Carrington went over tandem parking and the City has a high threshold and it isn't being used. The
City requires 150 parking spaces that are in a non-residential area. The change would make it more
flexible with the cut off of 20 parking spaces. Another item addressed are bicycle racks, and the intent
was to have 1 bicycle space per every 20 parking spaces but there was a typing error and it ended up
being 1 bicycle rack per 20. Another clarification is that a car can't reduce the sidewalk to less than 4-feet
wide. It is proposed to revise the standard to one bicycle parking space for every 40 automobile parking
spaces.
Cm. Johnson stated that recreational vehicles aren't allowed on the sidewalk at all.
MI. Carrington said they couldn't be within I-foot from sidewalk. Another change is the back up distance
behind a parking space is 25-feet and Public Works would like it changed to 26-feet
Cm. Johnson asked Staff to explain the \\idth of the parking spots and the 90-degree angle.
MI. Carrington stated that was proposed by Public Works and that may be a handicap situation. He had
the Commission refer to the chart in the staff report.
Cm. Johnson stated the handicap regulations show 17-feet and 26-feet 'wide. It isn't clear.
MI. Carrington stated that he would fix the chart. He dis~ussed the disabled accessible parking and when
it was adopted in 1997,_the applicable title 24 language and was changed two months later by ICBO.
Staff v.;ould like to just adopt it by reference. Another language clarification change would read other
than the two required garage parldng spaces, .a maximum of two vehicles which shall include but not be
limited to 'an automobile, car or recreational v~hicle may be parked in the following areas if screened by
a 6-foot high wall and if at leastone'side yard1s unobsfriiCted to a width of 36 inches. He showed the
. Commission on the overhead where parking is allowed.
Cm. Musser asked Staffs interpretation of parking a boat.
Mr. CarringtOIl sai4 a boat is considered a recreational vehicle.
Cm. Johnson asked if a hedge in a residential neighborhood has a 4..:[00t height limit
Mr. Carrington said yes; the height applies to fences and hedges. There is another change which is the
following: Automobile Vehicle Sales and Service - 1 per 1,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor display
- area but Staff f<?und when doing the Chrysler Dealership there is office and repair space, and display area
tIiat'needs proper parking; this will clarify the parking for these. Those are the changes proposed and
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the resolution amending the Zoning Ordinance.
Cm. Musser stated that tandem parking for single family residential standards have a 16- foot driveway
width. Developers are proposing tandem garages, which would preclude that type of tandem garage in a
single-family residence without a 16-footdriveway.

PARKING ANALYSIS AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
Parking Analysis.
'.
Apartment Complexes. The parking requirement for apartment complexes is:
One covered parking space plus one parking space for unreserved and guest parking per
dwelling unit.
The study revealed that Amador Lakes, with 160 one bedroom and 395 two-bedroom
units (555 total) had 474 available unreserved/guest spaces of which 114, or 24%, were
vacant. Parkwood, with 116 one bedroom and 108 two and three bedroom units (224
total) had 217 unreserved/guest spaces of which 81, or 37%, were vacant. If Amador
Lakes actually had 555 open spaces and ifParkwood actually had 224 open spaces in
accordance with the current regulations, the number of vacant spaces would have been
higher. These complexes were built as planned developments several years ago and the
number of parking spaces required varied with the design constraints and parking
standards at the time. Given these results, the current parking requirements with regard
to the dwelling unit and guest spaces for apartment complexes are adequate.
Condominium Complexes. The parking requirements for condominium complexes are as
follows:
----
.-.~'.. ~
Studio unit. One covered or garaged parking space plus ~ guest space
One bedroom unit. One covered or garaged parking space plus ~ guest space
Two + bedroom unit. Two covered or garaged parking space plus ~ guest space
The study revealed that California Highlands, with 246 two and three bedroom units, had
84 unreserved/guest spaces of which 15, or 18%, were vacant. If the complex actually
had 123 unreserved/guest spaces in accordance with the current regulations, the number
of vacant spaces would have been higher. California Brookside, with 123 two and three
bedroom units had 51 unreserved/guest spaces and 61 adjacent on-street parking spaces.
------.-Twenty~ofthe"unreserved/guest-spaces(39%>_andI8 of the on-street spaces (30%) were
vacant:. These two projects were developed as planned developments and parking
standards varied with the design constraints applicable at-the time. Given the parking
vacancy rate, Staff feels that the current condominium parking standards for the dwelling
unit and for guests are adequate. The main lesson learned from the study about
condominium parking is that the one guest parking space per two dwelling unit standard
must be adhered to.
Sinl!le family complex. California Creekside has 154 dwellings on 4,000 square foot
lots. Each dwelling unit has two garaged spaces and a driveway that can accommodate
two cars. The subdivision is characterized by wide streets with parking on both sides of
the street. Staff counted 230 on street parking spaces of which 161, or 70%, were vacant.
i~'~'
ATTACHMENT 6

The current standards are adequate for dwelling units and guests when full width public
streets are proposed.
.---..........
'......"
Distance of guest parking from dwellinll unit.
. The City Council and Planning Commission have become concerned during the review of
the Dublin Ranch and Tassajara Meadows/Casterson projects that some on-street guest
parking spaces in small lot (less than 4,000 square feet) single-family developments may
not be located close enough to the dwellings they serve. Small lot subdivisions typically
have short frontages of 50 or fewer feet, and in some cases, dwellings without driveways.
Fire hydrants, driveways, pop-outs for trees or utilities, red curbing and narrow streets
with parking on only one side can reduce the number of available on-street parking
spaces in small lot subdivisions to less than one space per dwelling unit. Traditional
single-family neighborhoods with large lots and full width public streets typically have
had at least one on-street parking space per dwelling unit. In response to these issues, the
City Council and Planning Commission have required that guest parking spaces, whether
on-street or in parking bays, be located a maximum distance of 150 feet from the single-
family dwelling unit they serve. Staff recommends that this standard be made a
requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. The 150 distance is a reasonable distance within
which a developer can provide on-street/guest parking and would ensure that such
parking spaces in single-family developments are within easy walking distance of the
dwelling units they serve.
Description of Proposed Changes.
'...,.i
The following amendments to Chapter 8.76 of the Zoning Ordinance Off-Street Parking and
LoadingRegulations are being proposed to clarify language, correct problems or omissions
within the regulations and address issues that have arisen since the regulations were adopted.
The proposed changes are presented below with new language bolded and italicized and
language to be removed with strikethrou;h.
,-~.JP~j:;~GES. Six major changes are proposed.=-_~~ ,---,
8.76.020
Applicability. Every use hereafter commenced, every private parkingfacility 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.
The need for this new language became apparent when the Bay Area Rapid
Transit (BART) proposed a temporary parking lot adjacent to Dublin Boulevard.
City of Dublin Zoning Regulations do not apply to other governmental agencies
unless provided for by an annexation (or other) agreement. New language should
therefore be added to make this clear.
.....,,'
2
33 qf ~O
8. 76.060.E. 7 Parking within a designated parking space. All vehicles shall be parked within
the confines of parking spaces as striped on the ground and as shown' on an
approved Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan.
Most drivers park within the bounds of striped parking spaces. However some
drivers do not, most notably the owners of vehicles used for signage. These
vehicles are typically parked in driveways (600 GUITARS) or across existing
striped parking spaces. The language would require all vehicles to park within the
confines of parking spaces as striped on the ground and as shown on an approved
Off-Street Parking and Loading Plan.
8.76.060.E.
8-1.b
Living or sleeping in vehicle parked or stored on a lot. At no time shall a
motorhome, recreational vehicle, utility trailer, mounted or un-mounted camper
top, boat or other similar vehicle as determined by the Director of Community
Development parked or stored on a lot be occupied for living, sleeping, or any
other purposes except as permitted by a Temporary Use Permit or adjacent to a
fireworks sales booth or as legally allowed in a bonafide trailer park,
mobilehome park, or recreational vehicle park.
This new language is proposed because persons operating Christmas tree lots,
pumpkin patches, arts and crafts fairs, carnivals, booths in the Pasta Festival and
fireworks sales booths typically occupy motorhomes near their booths for security
reasons. These uses are permitted by means ofa Temporary Use Permit (TUP)
except-for frreworks booths, which are regulated by the Alameda County Fire
Department. Staff can include administrative language in the TUP handouts that
would place reasonaple restrictions on the location of motorhomes and the times
they can be in place.
8.76.060.F Parking of unlicensed or DeR eperatieRal inoperable ("Non-Op" vehicles
..:..." ~ h~u:,:"__::.-o~ ~~, ~-=:=--pl."!lhjbited.uNo unlicensed or non oPGrational inoperable vehicle shall be parked
, - or stored in any zoning district unless otherwise permitted by a Conditional Use
Permit or if legitimately stored while being actively repaired (not stored for
more than four weeks) by a permitted repair facility (non-residential zoning
districts only) in a front setback, area in front of a residence or principal building
but behind the front setback, street side setback in front of a fence, or on a
driveway.
,r-'
This language would change "non-operational" to "inoperable" to be consistent
with other language in the Zoning Ordinance. It is proposed that the restriction
regarding parkin2 or storing vehicles apply to any zoning district to make it clear
that such vehicles must not be parked in non-residential as well as residential
zoning districts. Additional language is proposed to allow vehicles to be stored
while-being actively repaired (not stored for more than four weeks) by a permitted
'"
"
'$ r; L?tf t!Jo r
repair facility in non-residential zoning districts. This language would recognize
and respect repair facilities that are actively repairing all of the vehicle on their """'"
property and would also help address situations where auto repair facilities store
derelict vehicles for long period of time. .
8.76.080.B. Residential Use Types. Residential Use Types shall provide off-street parking
spaces as follows:
RESIDENTIAL USE TYPES NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
Single Farnily/Duplex/Mobile Home
Lots of 4,000 squarefeet or less 2 in enclosed garage per dwelling plus one on-street
parking space per dwelling unit within 150 feet of
that dwelling unit.
Lots greater than 4,000 square feet 2 in enclosed garage per dwelling
This language ensures that for small lot subdivisions (4,000 square feet or less), at
least one on-street parking space will be provided for each dwelling unit that is
within 150 feet of that dwelling unit. This should ensure that adequate guest
parking is available in small lot subdivisions.
8.76.080.D. Commercial Use Types. Commercial Use Types shall provide off-street parking
spaces as follows: ~
COMMERCIAL USE TYPES' '. NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
AutomobileN ehicle
Sales and Service 1 per 1,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor display area,
1 per 250 square feet of office space, 1 per 400
square feet of repair space and one per company
vehicle
Outdoor storage . 1 per 1,000 squarefeet
. -
These language changes address parking requirements for automobile agencies
and commercial outdoor storage (such as the garden center at Target) that were
omitted in the current language. The parking standards are consistent with other
office, repair space and outdoor storage parking standards elsewhere in the
Ordinance.
MINOR CHANGES. Eight minor changes are proposed.
8.76.060.E.6 Parking in Side, Street Side Yard, and Rear Yard. A maximum of two
vehicles, including RV's, may be parked at a residence in thefollowing areas, if
screened by a 6 foot high fence or wall: in the a Side Yard, Street Side Yard, ~,
4
~
:,.--.~,
55 c.yj &:'0
Rear Yard, or the area behind between the Rear Yard and the rear of the
residence but not in the Rem- Yard if screened by a 6 foot high fcm~c.
The purpose for this change is to clarify a confusing sentence, add language
restricting the number of vehicles and make this section consistent with Section
8.76.070.A.14,a.l, Principal Residence.
, 8.76.060.1. Tandem Parking. The Zoning Administrator may approve an off-street parking
program by means of a Conditional Use Permit utilizing limited tandem (front to
back) parking for commercial and industrial uses under unusual design
constraints provided that the development requires +.w. 20 or more parking
spaces, with no more than a maximum of 10% of the total number of spaces being
tandem. This may be accomplished by the use of tandem, wedge or other
techniques approved by the Zoning Administrator. Tandem parking is
permitted within single-family dwelling unit attached garages. The Zoning
Administrator may require that an attendant be on duty during normal business
hours.
This language would allow tandem parking to be applied more flexibly than under
the current regulations and would clarify that it is permitted within single-family
dwelling unit attached garages.
8.76.070.A.2, Bicycle Racks. Parking lots with 20 or more spaces in all 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-ifnot within ,the individualIesidence. 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.
8.76.070.A.
7.a,
-- .....-. -
This language clarifies that bicycle racks in non-residential zoning ,districts must
provide one bicycle parking space, not bicycle parking rack, for each forty
vehicular parking spaces. Staffhas reviewed the several commercial projects
with regard to the ratio of vehicle parking to bicycle parking and determined that
the 1 :40 ratio would provide adequate bicycle parking. Language would be added
giving residential developers the option of providing lockable containers or spaces
for bicycles if they are not provided within individual residences.
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 vehicles parked in them
5

The current Ordinance is a recitation of the Title 24 language that was in effect at the

This revised language clarifies Section 8.76.070.a.14.a.l, Principal Residence. It
clearly states where parking may occur in and adjacent to the principal residence
on a single-family lot. The existing language regarding Area 5b, the area between
the driveway and the nearest Side Lot Line, did not make it clear that this area
could be used for recreational vehicle (RV) parking. The current language of this
section omitted Area 5c, the area between the driveway and the most distant Side
Lot Line or Street Lot Line and Area 6, the area between the Front Yard and the
front of the residence. It is important that these two areas be addressed. Parking
can only occur in Area 5c if, under unususal situations, where there is insufficient
room between the driveway and the nearest Side Lot Line to park an R V, the
Director of Community Development may permit paved parking for that purpose
in an alternate location. Parking may not occur in Area 6.
Non-residential lot. All parking spaces shall be located on the same parcel as the
primary structure or use, unless provided under Section 8.76.050, Adjustment to
the Number of Parking Spaces, or as a Commercial Parking Lot by the Planning
Commission pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit in the C-O, C-N, and M-P
zones or as allowed in the C-1, C-2, M-1, and M-2 zones pursuant to Site
Development Review. The most distant parking space in a Commercial Parking
Lot or an on-site parking lot shall be not more than 400 feet from the use they
serve. Parking may occur in the Side Yard, Street Side Yard, Front Yard, er Rear
Yard and areas between tlte structure and required yards if behind perimeter
landscaping and screening pursuant to Site Development Review.
