§ 47-20.11. Geometric standards.

A.

A standard parking space shall be a minimum of eight (8) feet, eight (8) inches in width and the length shall meet the parking geometric layout by parking angle (30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees) as shown on the Table of Parking Geometrics as follows or unless as otherwise stated herein:

PARKING GEOMETRICS—PARALLEL SELF-PARKING

Vehicle Size	Stall Width	Stall Length
Standard	8′-8″	24′-0″
Motorcycle and Scooter	4′	8′-8″

Parking geometrics for all other parking angles shall be calculated in proportion to the geometrics shown on the Table.

B.

Compact parking.

1.

When located within a commercial zoning district off-street parking may be permitted to be constructed with compact parking spaces eight (8) feet, eight (8) inches in stall width by sixteen (16) feet in length and shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total number of required parking spaces. Compact parking spaces shall be located throughout the parking facility and desingated to be used for parking compact cars through the use of signage and pavement markings.

2.

Parking garages permitted to be constructed with compact parking spaces seven and one-half (7½) feet by fifteen (15) feet and located within a parking exempt area of the RAC-CC or RAC-AS zoning districts may be expanded by the addition of one (1) or more floors of parking and include compact sized spaces on the new floors provided the following requirements are met:

a.

The existing garage proposed to be expanded is built to structurally support the proposed addition as certified by a structural engineer; and,

b.

The additional floor(s) shall be built on the same footprint of the existing garage; and,

c.

The number of compact parking spaces on each additional floor shall not exceed the maximum number of compact spaces on the existing floor(s) with the most compact spaces; and,

d.

The total number of compact spaces provided in the parking garage shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the total number of spaces provided in the garage.

C.

Stalls for parking for the disabled/handicapped shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of the regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over disabled/handicapped parking.

D.

Motorcycle and scooter parking.

1.

Off-street Parking for motorcycle and scooter. For any nonresidential use, one (1) out of every ten (10) standard parking spaces can be converted to motorcycle parking up to a maximum of six (6) standard parking spaces. A standard off-street motorcycle and scooter parking space shall be a minimum of four (4) feet, four (4) inches in width and the length shall meet the parking geometric layout by parking angle (30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees) as shown in the Parking Lot Geometrics - Self Parking table.

2.

On-street parking for motorcycle and scooter. On-street motorcycle and scooter parking may be perpendicular to the curb with a minimum dimension of four (4) feet in stall width and eight (8) feet, eight (8) inches in stall length as shown on the table Parking Geometrics.

a.

Motorcycle and scooter parking spaces must be identified or designated through the use of signage or pavement markings.
