<br /> Z | 11 - 9 <br />A. Parking lots must have a location for storing snow in a low area of the property towards areas 312 <br />of existing or proposed native vegetation for infiltration. An area for snow storage must be 15% 313 <br />the size of parking areas and walkways to be maintained in winter conditions. 314 <br />B. Drainage and stormwater management infrastructure and designated snow storage areas may 315 <br />not overlap with or impede the use of accessible spaces, transit stops, sidewalks, or other 316 <br />pedestrian access areas. 317 <br />C. Parking lots must incorporate drainage standards to reduce non-point source pollution and 318 <br />improve snow melt footprint to reduce salting. Improved dDrainage should also include 319 <br />infiltration and/or natural treatment processes prior to outflow to creek, stream, wetland or other 320 <br />area. 321 <br /> 322 <br />(14) Parking Structure Design. All parking structures in developments shall conform to the following 323 <br />provisions: 324 <br />A. Parking garage design should be compatible with adjacent buildings in terms of form, 325 <br />massing, scale, materials, and façade articulation. Pedestrian-level lighting must be included on 326 <br />facades abutting pedestrian walkways. 327 <br />B. Spandrel panels or opaque screening systems, such as louvers, at least thirty-six (36) inches 328 <br />in height shall be used to screen vehicles from view on all levels. 329 <br />C. Any parking garage façade that is visible from public view shall be designed such that the 330 <br />internal ramping system is not visible. 331 <br />D. Wherever possible, especially for parking garage façades that face a public street, the ground 332 <br />floor of the parking structure should incorporate retail, commercial, or other nonresidential uses 333 <br />to help activate the street. 334 <br />E. Any ground-level façade of a parking garage that is visible from the street and does not 335 <br />provide retail, commercial, or other active ground floor uses shall include at least two (2) of the 336 <br />following design features: 337 <br />1. Façade articulation through change in vertical plane or a change in building material. 338 <br />2. The use of windows or false windows defined by frames, lintels, or sills. 339 <br />3. Integration of multiple building entrances. 340 <br />4. Buffering along the street edge with landscaping, street trees, green walls, or trellises with 341 <br />vines. 342 <br />F. Vehicular entrances to buildings and parking garages that contain a ramp shall be screened 343 <br />from view of the street or adjacent public space in as much as possible. Where a vehicular 344 <br />entrance or ramp directly abuts a pedestrian walk, appropriate cautionary signs shall be used to 345 <br />alert pedestrians of the presence of vehicles and to inform drivers that pedestrians have the 346 <br />priority. 347 <br /> 348 <br /> (Ord. No. 759, 05-13-2008) 349 <br /> 350 <br />Sec.11-030. Minimum Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required. 351 <br /> 352 <br />(1) Computing Requirements. In computing the number of parking or loading spaces required the 353 <br />following rules shall govern: 354 <br />A. Floor space shall mean the gGross floor area of the specific use is calculated on the basis of the 355 <br />exterior floor area dimensions of the building, structure or use, multiplied by the number of floors, 356 <br />minus ten percent. 357 <br />B. When determining the number of off-street parking spaces, fractional results of one half or 358 <br />more shall require another spaceare rounded up to the nearest whole number. 359 <br />Commented [HD28]: From Mixed Use district <br />requirements
