Title 2 — Land Use and Zoning, Chapter 240 — Off-Street Parking Standards

The minimum number of parking spaces shall be determined based on the spaces required for principal uses from the Table of Minimum Parking Requirements, unless the development qualifies for a reduction in minimum parking requirements as provided in Section 240-30 or is located within a zoning district that does not require minimum parking. There shall be no minimum required parking within mixed-use developments. Where parking requirements for any use are not specifically defined in the Table of Minimum Parking Requirements, such requirements shall be determined by the Director based upon the most comparable use specified herein, and other available data.

Maximum parking requirements are established in order to promote efficient use of land, enhance urban form, encourage alternate modes of transportation, provide for better pedestrian movement, reduce the amount of impervious surface and protect air and water quality.

Angled parking spaces shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide and 20 feet deep. Parallel parking spaces shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide and 22 feet deep. All spaces are measured from face-of-curb.
