The purpose of this chapter is to: (1) Implement the city's comprehensive plan; (2) Ensure that the city's supply of available parking matches parking demand most of the time; (3) Encourage the continued development of Port Orchard as a walkable community; (4) Support the efficient provision of transit services including buses and passenger ferries; (5) Support transit -oriented development in local centers; (6) Limit the creation of unnecessary new impervious surfaces; (7) Ensure the efficient use of available and existing parking; (8) Provide alternatives to single occupant vehicle trips; (9) Encourage the creation of housing that is affordable to all segments of the population; (10) Provide housing, employment, and commerce opportunities to residents who, by choice or other limitation, do not own a car; (11) Recognize innovations in transportation including car sharing, ride sharing, bike sharing, and other emerging technologies that are likely to change transportation patterns in the future; (12) Recognize that the city's goals related to the development of walkable local centers is hindered by restrictive parking minimums and that expansion of transit service as an alternative to single occupant vehicle ownership is hindered by the lack of development in local centers; and (13) Support the commitment expressed in the city's comprehensive plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 019-17 § 18 (Exh. 1)). 20.124.020 Authority and application. (1) The city shall not issue any land use approval (including building permits, subdivisions, conditional use permits, binding site plans, short subdivisions, or other similar approvals which have the effect of creating a parking demand) or issue an occupancy permit for any new building or a change in use unless the use complies with the parking requirements found in this chapter. (2) Parking studies prepared by individuals with expertise in traffic and parking analysis may be required at the discretion of the director for unique projects which don't fit squarely in the land use categories contained herein. The director may require that such studies be evaluated and reviewed by outside experts hired by the city at the developer's expense prior to city acceptance. (3) Required parking may be provided off site if contracts and/or deed restrictions are provided to ensure the satisfaction of the minimum parking quantity requirements found in this chapter in perpetuity. Should the parking quantity requirements found in this chapter change, a contract and/or deed restriction may be amended by agreement with the city so long as minimum parking quantity requirements continue to be met under the new standard. (Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 019-17 § 18 (Exh. 1)). 20.124.030 Off-street parking spaces requirement. (1) Off-street parking areas shall contain at a minimum the number of vehicle and bicycle parking spaces set forth in POMC 20.124.040 and 20.124.140. Off-street parking ratios expressed as number of spaces per square feet means the gross square footage of floor area. If the formula for determining the number of off-street parking spaces results in a fraction, the number of off-street parking spaces shall be rounded to the nearest whole number with fractions of 0.50 or greater rounding up and fractions below 0.50 rounding down. (2) An applicant may request a modification of the minimum required number of parking spaces by submitting an application for an administrative variance Ttype 2 pursuant to POMC 20.28.150. (3) When the city has received a shell -and -core building permit application, off-street parking requirements shall be based on the possible tenant improvements or uses authorized by the zone designation and compatible with the limitations of the shell -and -core permit. When the range of possible uses result in different parking requirements, the director will establish the amount of required parking based on a likely range of uses. (Ord. 011-19 § 5 (Exh. 2); Ord. 019-17 § 18 (Exh. 1)). 20.124.040 Bicycle parking required. (1) Bicycle parking facilities shall be provided for new buildings or facilities, additions to or enlargements of existing buildings, or for changes in the use of buildings or facilities that result in the need for additional auto parking facilities in accordance with the parking requirements in POMC 20.124.140 and where required in Table 20.124.140. The director is authorized to approve modifications to these standards when the applicant successfully demonstrates that the proposed alternative layout, location, design or type of racking meets the intent of these standards. (2) The number of required bicycle parking spaces shall be calculated as shown in Table 20.124.140. (3) Individual bicycle parking spaces shall be a minimum of 75 inches long by 24 inches wide for each space. Where double -sided multi -racks are utilized resulting in overlapping of bicycle parking spaces, the minimum bicycle parking space for two bicycles shall be 100 inches long by 36 inches wide. (4) Bicycle parking racks shall be located in areas visible from public right-of-way and shall be provided with adequate lighting if intended for use after dark. A minimum of 50 percent of the required number of bicycle parking spaces shall be located within 50 feet of a public entrance to the building requiring bicycle parking spaces. (5) Bicycle parking racks shall support the bikes in a stable, upright position, without damage to wheels, frame or other components. (6) Bicycle parking racks shall support the frame of the bicycle at two points of contact and at least one wheel. Racks shall allow the frame and one wheel to be locked to the rack, regardless of whether the front wheel is removed or not. Racks shall be securely anchored. Racks shall accommodate a wide variety of sizes and types of bicycles, including those with water bottles or without kick stands. (7) Bicycle parking racks shall be permanently mounted/installed within private property on solid surfaces. Racks placed adjacent to sidewalks shall not encroach upon required pedestrian access ways, accessible routes or accessible passing space areas. (8) Access shall be provided to each required bicycle parking space. Aisles shall have a width of at least three feet to the front, rear or side of the bicycle parking spaces. (9) Racks shall be placed a minimum of 24 inches away from walls and other elements that may create an obstacle to accessing the bike parking spaces. (10) Where the required bicycle parking spaces cannot be properly located upon the property generating the need for bicycle parking, the owner or applicant of the property generating the need for bicycle parking may apply for a street use from the city for permission to locate the bicycle parking on city right-of-way. - - - - -.--AR. - -- -- -- -- -- - ME ----- - --- --- - - -- -- -- --- --- -- ----- ----- -- Al �� •�-------------------- 1=4I IN- RE AI A AI NWAtWFAtWAWW :ANE-- - - - : M AWl-V - : 1111 - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - -- - .
