Title 17C Land Use Standards

Chapter 17C.230 Parking and Loading

Section 17C.230.100 General Standards
  1. Applicability.

The standards of this chapter apply to all parking areas in all zones, whether required by this code or put in for the convenience of property owners or users. Parking areas include those accessory to a use, part of a commercial parking use, or for a park and ride facility in the basic utilities use category. Some zoning categories have unique parking standards as provided in Table 17C.230.120-1.

  1. Calculation.
    1. When computing parking spaces based on floor area, floor area dedicated for parking is not counted.
    1. The number of parking spaces is computed based on the uses on the site. When there is more than one use on a site, the required or allowed parking for the site is the sum of the required or allowed parking for the individual uses.
    1. If the maximum number of spaces allowed is less than one, then the maximum number is automatically increased to one.
    1. When the calculation of required or allowed parking results in a decimal fraction, the number of parking spaces required or allowed is rounded up to the next whole number.
  1. Curb Cuts.

Curb cuts and access restrictions are regulated by the City engineering services department. Other zoning standards or design standards may apply.
