Division 82. GENERAL REGULATIONS |
Chapter 82-16. OFF-STREET PARKING |
§ 82-16.206. General.
(a)
Changes in Land Use. If a land use is proposed to be enlarged, or a proposed change in land use will require more off-street parking to be provided under this chapter, additional off-street parking spaces must be provided to meet the off-street parking requirements of this chapter that apply to the land use, as enlarged or changed. If a proposed change in any land use requires fewer parking spaces to be provided under this chapter than was required for the prior land use, then no change in the amount of off-street parking is required.
(b)
Compliance as a Condition of Approval. No application for a building permit for the erection of a new structure, or for the enlargement of an existing structure, and no application for the development of a land use, will be approved unless the application demonstrates compliance with this chapter. If off-street parking or bicycle parking, or both, is required by this chapter, an application for a building permit or land use permit must include a parking area plan that identifies the parking area, the parking spaces and their dimensions, landscaping, lighting, and other features required by this chapter. The application must include a landscaping plan that identifies each plant type that will be used to meet the landscaping requirements of this chapter.
(c)
Conflicts. If any requirement of this chapter conflicts with any off-street parking requirement specified elsewhere in Division 84, the requirement specified elsewhere in Division 84 governs.
(d)
Requirements are Cumulative. The requirements of this chapter are in addition to all requirements of state law that apply to vehicles and parking, including those specified in the vehicle code.
