Title 17C Land Use Standards
Chapter 17C.230 Parking and Loading
Section 17C.230.120 Maximum Required Parking Spaces
Purpose.
Limiting the number of spaces allowed promotes efficient use of land, enhances urban form, encourages use of alternative modes of transportation, provides for better pedestrian movement, and protects air and water quality. The maximum ratios in this section vary with the use the parking it is accessory to. These maximums will accommodate most auto trips to a site based on typical peak parking demand for each use.
Maximum Number of Parking Spaces Allowed.
Standards in a plan district or overlay zone may supersede the standards in this subsection.
Surface Parking.
The maximum number of parking spaces allowed is stated in Table 17C.230.120-1 and Table 17C.230.130-1, except as specified in subsection (B)(2) of this section.
Structure Parking.
Parking provided within a building or parking structure is not counted when calculating the maximum parking allowed.
