Re: Parking Revision
INTRODUCTION
Date: May 5, 1977
The most recent major revision of the parking provisions of Section 8.10.25
of the Zoning Ordinance was made in 1974. It is apparent, however, that
still further revision is necessitated. Applicable subsections should be
revised to eliminate at least three eminent problems with the existing
requirements by:
1. Establishing specific off-street parking requirements for retail
uses,
2. Exempting the requirement for off-street parking for commercial
uses in the CBS Central Business Service Zone except for automobile
orientated uses, and
3. Establishing requirements for recreational uses such as indoor
tennis courts, handball courts, etc.
ANALYSIS
The following analysis is presented as the basis and explanation of intent
for the provisions within a suggested ordinance attached to this report
which would amend certain applicable subsections of Section 8.10.25 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
PARKING PROVISIONS FOR RETAIL USE
A retail use if located in a C2 Zone would be required to provide one parking
space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area. If the same use were
located in a C1 or CH Zone, one space per 100 square feet of gross floor
area, three times the required number of parking spaces, must be provided.
Obviously, a retail use (or for that matter any use) needs a certain number
of parking spaces for customer convenience, regardless of the zone in which
it is located.
It has been demonstrated that retail stores in general will need approximately
5.5 spaces per 1000 square feet of floor area -- an average equivalent to
approximately one space per 180 square feet of floor area. Some retail
establishments such as furniture, appliance and household equipment stores
will need much less parking per gross floor area because so much of the floor
space is devoted to display. Trends indicate that for such similar establishments,
at least one parking space should be provided for each 500 square feet of floor
area.
Suggested parking requirements for retail use are as follows:
USE
Furniture, appliance and
household equipment stores
or furniture and appliance
repair shops.
Retail stores other than
listed.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
One (1) parking space shall be
provided for each five hundred
(500) square feet of floor area.
One (I) parking space shall be
provided for each one hundred
eighty (180) square feet of floor
area.

PARKING PROVISIONS FOR THE CBS ZONE
9
Off-street parking for uses in the CB Zone is not required and is permitted
only upon the recommendation of the Commission and approval by the City Council.
The CBS Zone is located in a five -block area contiguous to the CB Zone. As
in the CB Zone, it can be argued that in the CBS Zone, businesses, other than
automobile orientated businesses such as service stations, drive-in banks and
savings and loan institutions, car washes, car dealers and drive-in restaurants,
most likely will be supported by walk-in trade.
Since a parking area can consume as much as a fourth to a third or more of a
building site, parking for such uses should appropriately be waived. Currently,
in the CBS Zone one parking space is required for each 500 square feet of
floor area regardless of the type of use. Auto -orientated uses must necessarily
be segregated from other businesses to facilitate application of specific
parking requirements for such uses.
Since automobile orientated uses again have differing parking needs, parking
provisions are written for each specific use. In addition, to distinguish
between a restaurant dispensing food or beverage for consumption on the
premises and a drive-in or carry -out restaurant, definitions for each have
been supplied. A definition for stacking space, a necessary requisite for
any drive-in facility, is also provided. Stacking space needs for drive-in
banks and savings and loan institutions are inversely proportional to the
number of teller or customer service windows, i.e., the more windows provided
the faster the service, necessitating fewer stacking spaces.
Suggested changes to applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance are proposed
as follows:
DEFINITIONS
RESTAURANT. A BUSINESS WHERE THE DISPENSING AND THE CONSUMPTION AT INDOOR
TABLES OF EDIBLE FOODSTUFF AND/OR BEVERAGE IS THE PRINCIPAL BUSINESS
OPERATION; INCLUDING A CAFE, CAFETERIA, COFFEE SHOP, LUNCH ROOM, TEAROOM,
AND DINING ROOM BUT NOT INCLUDING A BAR, COCKTAIL LOUNGE OR TAVERN. THE
TOTAL SEATING AREA LOCATED WITHIN THE ENCLOSED PORTION OF THE PREMISES
SHALL BE MORE THAN FIFTY (50) PERCENT OF THE TOTAL FLOOR AREA.
RESTAURANT, DRIVE-IN OR CARRY -OUT. A BUSINESS WHOSE PRINCIPAL OPERATION IS
THE DISPENSING OF EDIBLE FLOODSTUFF AND/OR BEVERAGE FOR CONSUMPTION IN
AUTOMOBILES, AT OUTDOOR TABLES, AT STAND-UP COUNTERS OR TO BE CARRIED
OFF THE PREMISES. THE TOTAL SEATING AREA LOCATED WITHIN THE ENCLOSED
POR'T'ION OF THE PREMISES, IF PROVIDED, SHALL BE LESS THAN FIFTY (50)
PERCENT OF THE TOTAL FLOOR AREA.
STACKING SPACE. AN OFF-STREET AND PERMANENT DUST FREE SURFACE AT LEAST NINE
(9) FEET WIDE AND TWENTY (20) FEET LONG, DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE A MOTOR
VEHICLE WAITING FOR ENTRY TO A SERVICE FACILITY AND LOCATED IN SUCH A WAY
TINT' NO PARKING AREA OR ACCESS TO A PARKING AREA IS OBSTRUCTED.

PARKING PROVISIONS FOR INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
The existing Zoning Ordinance requires that for auditoriums, theaters, sports
arenas and stadiums, one parking space for every four seats be provided. Now,
indoor tennis courts, handball courts, etc. have been construed to be sports
arenas; but, such facilities may not include seating or only a few seats at
most. Parking space requiremdnts, therefore, should be based upon seating
or user demand, whichever is more appropriate.
Suggested parking provisions for these categorical uses are proposed as
