TC) District, parking areas proposed to be located within a setback shall require a special permit. [3] A contiguous single parking area shall not exceed one acre in total area. Parking areas larger than one acre in total area shall be divided into smaller parking areas with planted buffers of a minimum depth of 15 feet between them to minimize the perceived scale of the total field of stalls. Such planted buffers may have one three-foot gap for connecting driveways and pedestrian walkways. [4] Unless otherwise permitted herein, all parking areas serving commercial and multifamily uses shall be paved with asphalt or concrete, striped, and parking spaces directly abutting a building or structure shall have bumper and wheel guards, and, if located directly in front of a building, shall have at least two permanent concrete or steel bollards in front of each entrance to the building. (b) Calculating number of spaces for mixed-use buildings. The minimum number of parking spaces for a building containing multiple uses shall be calculated separately for each use according to the following example: A 10,000 sq. ft. building containing 8,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space and 2,000 sq. ft. of sales space = 8,000 sq. ft. x 1 space per 2,000 sq. ft. = 4 required spaces + 2,000 sq. ft. x 1 space per 300 sq. ft. = 7 spaces = 11 total required spaces. (c) Space and aisle dimensions. Parking spaces shall be designed in accordance with the following minimum dimensional requirements: [1] All parking spaces where a vehicle has direct access to/from the parking space and a public right-of-way shall be either parallel or placed at a 45° angle to the right-of-way in the discretion of the Commission. [2] Parking spaces where a vehicle accesses the public-right-of-way via an access driveway and are not directly accessible to/from a public right-of-way shall be of a perpendicular layout. [3] The following table and graphics provide the minimum dimensional requirements for parking areas and spaces: Parking Space Layout Parking Row Depth (feet) Drive Aisle Width - One-Way (feet) Drive Aisle Width - Two-Way (feet) Space Width (feet) Space Length (feet) (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) Parallel 9 12 20 9 20 Angled (45°) 20 13 24 9 20 Perpendicular 18 14 24 9 18 [1]
