Title 17H Engineering Standards
Chapter 17H.010 Street Development Standards
Section 17H.010.120 On-Street Parking
- Streets located in the central business district and in centers and corridors should provide on-street parking.
- Principal, minor and collector arterials outside of the central business district, centers and corridors will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine on-street parking needs.
- On-street parking lanes should be eight feet wide. In low density residential areas meeting the criteria in SMC 17H.010.070, parking lanes may be narrowed to seven feet to allow for a narrower street section.
- In locations with densities greater than ten units per acre new local access streets shall provide on-street parking on both sides of the street. Parking may be omitted from one side of a residential street in the following situations:
-
- Hillside developments as described in SMC 17H.010.110 where lots are developed on only one side of the street.
-
- Neighborhoods where garage access is provided from alleys and driveway access to the street is restricted.
-
- The side of a street adjacent to side yards, rear yards, or common areas such as stormwater facilities. Parking may not be omitted adjacent to parks or other recreational facilities.
-
- Locations with low density (four to ten units per acre).
- Where parking has been omitted, “No Parking” signs shall be installed at the developer’s expense.
- Street width may vary within a subdivision to provide one or two-sided parking appropriate to the adjacent properties.
