LAST AMENDED
12/5/2024

In C4-1 Districts, for #zoning lots# having a #lot area# in excess of four acres, all #group parking facilities# that are #accessory#
to #commercial developments# or #enlargements# shall be subject to authorization by the City Planning Commission to assure
that the layout of such parking spaces is arranged and located in relation to the #use# or #uses# to which such spaces are
#accessory#, so as to provide adequate ingress, egress and circulation with respect to abutting #streets# or #uses#.

For such #zoning lots#, the Commission may also authorize a reduction of the parking requirement of Section 36-21 (General
Provisions) by an amount not to exceed 50 percent, provided that the Commission finds that the applicant has demonstrated
that the proposed parking is sufficient for the #use# proposed.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the applicability requirements of Sections 36-58 (Parking Lot Maneuverability and Curb Cut
Regulations), paragraph (a), and 37-91, the Commission shall find that such #group parking facilities# of any size comply with
the maneuverability and landscaping provisions of Sections 36-58 and 37-90 (PARKING LOTS), inclusive. For #group parking
facilities accessory# to #enlargements#, the Commission may authorize modifications or waivers of such provisions, provided the
Commission finds that:



(a)    maneuverability and curb cut regulations have been complied with to the maximum extent practicable;



(b)    the amount of perimeter landscaped areas have been provided to the maximum extent practicable;



(c)    the amount of interior planting islands and their distribution throughout the parking lot have been provided to the
        maximum extent practicable; and



(d)    perimeter landscaped areas and interior planting islands have been engineered to absorb storm water runoff to the
        maximum extent practicable.



The Commission may request reports from licensed engineers and landscape architects in considering such modifications.
