b. Entrance and exit drives may be located within the setback area.

2. Parking Aisle Widths. Minimum parking aisle widths shall be as follows:

a. Ninety-degree (90º) angle space. Twenty-four (24) feet wide parking aisle for one- or two-way traffic.

b. Sixty-degree (60º) angle space. Eighteen (18) feet wide parking aisle for one-way traffic.

3. Parking Aisle Exits. All parking aisles shall have an outlet or turn around. Dead-end parking aisles shall not be permitted.

4. Driving Lanes. Driving lanes in parking lots that provide access to parking aisles shall be clearly striped or be curbed.

5. Drainage. Parking lots shall be constructed to allow proper drainage.

a. Where a parking lot abuts one (1) or more lots zoned for commercial use (including planned development zoning districts that allow commercial development), parking spaces, parking aisles, and driving lanes shall be laid out in a manner that will allow for the connection of the parking lots on the adjoining lots. The Zoning Administrator may waive this requirement when not significantly feasible.

i. Where parking lots connect or are laid out to be connected, a cross-access easement shall be established in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 20.70 JCC, Design Standards.

ii. Cross-access easements shall not be less than twenty (20) feet nor exceed thirty (30) feet in width.

7. Shared Parking Areas. A group of adjoining properties may provide a shared parking lot if the following standards are met:

a. The parking lot provides a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the required spaces for each use.

b. The Zoning Administrator approves the shared parking lot.

c. All structures or uses utilizing the shared parking lot shall be located within 300 feet of the parking lot.

8. Cart Corrals. Cart corrals are required for all commercial uses with more than 20,000 square feet of floor area that provide shopping carts to customers. The cart corrals shall be made of durable, permanent materials and be permanently affixed to the surface of the parking lot. The cart corrals shall be kept in good condition and repair at all times. A single cart corral shall not exceed ten (10) feet in width by thirty-six (36) feet in length.

a. Off-street parking shall be required for all uses as shown in Table PK-A, Minimum Number of Parking Spaces per Use. The numbers do not guarantee the quantity needed per use, only minimums are expressed.

b. If a structure combines two (2) or more uses, the parking requirement is figured by taking seventy-five percent (75%) of the sum of the minimum number of spaces allowed for each use.

c. If a use is not clearly noted in Table PK-A, Minimum Number of Parking Spaces per Use, the Zoning Administrator shall determine into which land use the proposed development best fits, therefore determining the minimum number of parking spaces required.

10. Maximum Number of Vehicle Spaces. Uses are prohibited from providing more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of required spaces unless more spaces are approved by the Zoning Administrator.

11. Reduced Parking Lot Area Standards. A parking lot may be built with fewer spaces than the required minimum of vehicular spaces identified in Table PK-A, Minimum Number of Parking Spaces per Use, if the following standards are met.

a. Adequate and appropriate space shall be land-banked such that the full number of parking spaces required in Table PK-A, Minimum Number of Parking Spaces per Use, can be built on site at a later date, should the need arise.

b. The property owner shall record a site plan that clearly denotes the land-banked area, and that identifies the area as a “no-build area.” The no-build area shall only allow landscaping material and shall restrict any septic system, structure, foundation, change in topography, or any other permanent or temporary structure or alteration that would make it cost prohibitive or difficult to develop parking on that area in the future.

c. A design for a parking lot that accommodates all the required parking spaces and that abides by the on-site drainage standards shall be submitted for review. The reduced parking lot shall be a portion of the full parking lot. The full and partial parking lot designs shall be concurrently subjected to the same review process necessary to meet the applicable requirements of the Unified Development Code. If both designs are approved, the smaller parking lot design may be constructed and the full parking lot design shall be recorded.

d. Under no circumstances may the smaller parking lot design accommodate less than forty percent (40%) of the required parking spaces in Table PK-A, Minimum Number of Parking Spaces per Use.

a. Bicycle parking areas shall be provided to sites that have access to bike paths or trails.
