(1) New Development

Unless otherwise exempted by Section 5.5.B(3), the standards in this Section 5.5 shall apply to all development and land uses established after the effective date of this Code.

(2) Expansions and Enlargements

a. The off-street parking and loading standards of this Section 5.5 apply when the gross floor area of an existing structure or use is expanded or enlarged by 15 percent or more for primary uses of the property, 25 percent or more for supportive nonprimary uses of the property, or for any expansion or enlargement that requires a conditional use permit. In such cases, the number of off-street parking and loading spaces provided for the entire use (pre-existing plus expansion) shall equal 100 percent of the minimum ratio established in Table 5.2, Required Off-Street Parking Spaces.

b. For single-family detached dwellings, any additional expanded parking provided pursuant to this section shall be restricted to covered parking.

c. For single-family detached dwellings without a garage and constructed prior to November 7, 2019, the garage requirements of subsection 5.5.D(1) do not apply to a one-time expansion of 400 square feet or less.

(3) Change in Use

Off-street parking and loading shall be provided for any change of use that would result in a requirement for more parking or loading spaces than the existing use as defined in this Section 5.5.

(4) Mixed-Use Development

For new mixed-use development, the total requirement for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately, subject to the modifications set forth below.

a. To reflect the reduced automobile use associated with mixed-use developments, all uses within a mixed-use zoning district that are part of a mixed-use development shall be eligible for the following reductions from the minimum off-street parking requirements in Table 5.2, Required Off-Street Parking Spaces:

1. M1 district: 10 percent parking reduction;

2. M2 district: 15 percent parking reduction; and

3. M3 district: 30 percent parking reduction.

b. The total number of parking spaces required of a use or uses may be further reduced by the Director if the applicant prepares a parking demand study that demonstrates a reduction is appropriate based on the expected parking needs of the development, availability of mass transit, and similar factors. The parking and loading demand study shall be prepared pursuant to Section 5.5.C(5), Discretionary Requirement Based on Demand Study. [Ord. 2020-04 § 1, 9-8-20 (Res. 2020-16); Res. 2019-19 Exh. A, 10-8-19].
