resorts and group camps, or similar uses shall be located not farther than one thousand
three hundred feet (1,300’) from the nearest point of such building or use.
The Chief Land Use Specialist may authorize off-premise parking including on-street
parking within three hundred feet (300’) of the associated business, as part of a
development plan or proposal, in instances where use of the parking area is authorized
on a long-term basis by the property owner and/or the public jurisdiction that administers
public right-of-way.
The Chief Land Use Specialist may deny a request to use off-premise or on-street parking
in instances where authorization may be on a temporary basis and/or if the proposed off-
premise parking plan is not in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare. A
decision to deny a development plan or proposal may be appealed to the Board of
Adjustment.
C. METHODS OF PROVIDING REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING may be achieved by any
one or a combination of the following:
1. One (1) parking area may contain required spaces for several different uses, but except
as otherwise provided in this Section, the required space assigned to one use may not be
credited to any other use.
2. Combination of Uses: Where there is a combination of uses on a lot, the number of
automobile parking spaces shall be the sum of the requirements of the various uses. If,
in the opinion of the Development Services Director, the uses would not be operated
simultaneously, the number of automobile parking spaces shall be determined by the use
with the highest parking demand.
3. Shared Parking: By securing the consent to use off-street parking facilities under
another's ownership, which is not otherwise used or required during the principal
operating hours of usage, that consent shall be in written form and a copy filed with the
County Land Use Specialist. The number of parking spaces may be reduced up to a
maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the total spaces required. In the event the off-site
spaces are or become no longer available, the owner shall provide additional parking to
meet this requirement.
4. Provisions shall be made for maintenance of common service areas by a corporation,
partnership, trust or other legal entity having the right to access or place a lien upon the
individual lot owners for all necessary costs and/or expenses. A letter of maintenance
responsibility will be required as part of the Zoning Clearance procedure.
D. DIMENSIONS AND CIRCULATION:
1. Each parking space shall contain a rectangular area at least twenty feet (20’) long and
nine feet (9’) wide. Lines demarcating parking spaces may be drawn at various angles
in relation to curbs or aisles, so long as the parking spaces so created contain within them
the rectangular area required by this Section.
2. In parking areas containing ten (10) or more parking spaces, up to twenty percent (20%)
of the parking spaces may contain a rectangular area of only seven and one-half feet
(7½’) in width by fifteen feet (15’) in length. If such spaces are provided, they shall be
conspicuously designated as reserved for small or compact cars only.
