107-68 - Modification of Group Parking Facility Regulations

LAST AMENDED
11/2/2023

For a permitted #commercial#, #community facility# or #manufacturing# #use# on a #plan review site# or portion of a #plan
review site# existing on November 2, 2023, the City Planning Commission may authorize #accessory# off-street parking spaces
in a #plan review site# or portion of a #plan review site# existing on November 2, 2023. In order to grant such authorization, the
Commission, upon a review of the site plan, shall find that:
(a)   vehicular access and egress are located and arranged so as to draw a minimum of vehicular traffic to and through local
      #streets# in nearby residential areas;

(b)   where vehicular access and egress are located on an #arterial#, such location affords the best means for controlling the
      flow of traffic generated by such #use# to and from such #arterial#, and does not unduly interfere with pedestrian traffic;
      and

(c)   the design of the parking facility avoids undue conflict between pedestrian and vehicular movements in a manner that
      results in a better site plan.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area and may, in appropriate cases, condition its authorization upon compliance with an approved site and
landscaping plan. The Commission may also permit modifications to parking lot landscaping and maneuverability requirements
only if such modifications preserve natural features.
