§ 25-35. Locations.  


Latest version.
  • The off-street parking facilities required herein shall be on the same lot or parcel of land as the structure they are intended to serve or, when the board of adjustment determines that the development of the area, the topography of the lot or some other physical feature makes it impractical to establish them upon the same lot and the board gives its written approval, under the rules set forth in article II of this chapter of the City Code, then such off-street parking facilities shall be within two hundred (200) feet of the premises they are intended to serve. Off-street parking facilities intended to serve a particular structure shall be located in the same district; provided, that they need not, in any event, be in a less restricted use district than district CBD. All such parking spaces shall be located entirely on private property with no portion, except the necessary drive, extending into any street or public way.

    In case of use such as universities, hospitals, and large industries where lands owned by or controlled by the main or principal owner shall be permitted to have parking serving these uses on separate lot parcels from the main facilities.

    The off-street loading facilities required herein shall in all cases be on the same lot or parcel of land as the structure they are intended to serve. In no case shall the required off-street loading space be a part of the area used to satisfy the off-street parking requirements contained herein.

    In R-1 districts, the required off-street parking or loading spaces for residential buildings shall not be located in a front yard; provided, that where a whole block is developed or is being developed with row houses that face toward the interior of the block, each separate lot containing one (1) dwelling unit within such a row house may be provided for with two (2) off-street parking spaces of not more than three hundred sixty (360) square feet in the front yard area, so long as there is no other off-street parking space upon any part of such separate lot.
