and Chapter 14.40 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ANGELES DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Ordinance 1588 as amended and Chapter 14.40 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code are hereby amended by amending PAMC 14.40.020 to read as follows:
14.40.020 Parking Space Requirements - Generally. For all land uses there shall be
established and maintained permanent off - street parking spaces, either on the zoning lot of the use,
or, if the affected property owners and the Planning Community Development Director agree through
the execution of an appropriate agreement and easement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney
and if appropriate identification signage is provided, within onetwo hundred feet of the property
boundaries (excluding public streets and alleys) of the zoning lot. The required number of parking
spaces shall be determined as follows:
A. The number of required spaces shall be determined by reference to Sections
14.40.030 through 14.40.0$90.
B. If applicable, Sections 14.40.110 through 14.40.140 shall then be used to
determine whether the number of spaces required by subsection A of this Section is modified.
Section 2. Ordinance 1588 as amended and Chapter 14.40 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code are hereby amended by amending PAMC 14.40.150 to read as follows:
14.40.150 Improvement of Parking Spaces.
A. Any parking spaces provided to comply with the terms of this Chapter, other than
for single - family detached residences, shall be improved in accordance with the following
requirements:
1. They shall meet the requirements of the clearing, grading, filling and
drainage regulations set forth in Chapter 15.28 PAMC.
2. They shall be graded and paved with a hard - surface pavement of portland
cement concrete, asphaltic concrete with a structurally adequate base, or other hard - surface pavement
acceptable to the Director of Public Works and Utilities. All parking spaces shall be clearly and
permanently striped in conformance with Public Works parking lot design standards. Wheel stops
shall be installed where necessary to prevent encroachment upon public rights -of -way. The Director
of Public Works and Utilities may allow for an exception to hard - surface pavement for developments
1
in the Industrial Heavy Zone, provided that adverse impacts to stormwater drainage, surrounding
properties, and public infrastructure are mitigated to the extent the Director deems reasonably
necessary and appropriate.
3. They shall be accessible, at all times, from street, alley or driveway
intended to serve such off - street parking.
4. Improvements of parking spaces shall meet the Americans with
Disabilities Act standards.
B. The City may grant permission for temporary occupancy of a building or
structure even though the parking spaces required by subsection A of this Section have not been fully
completed, provided that an improvement bond acceptable as to form and amount by the City
Engineer and the City Attorney is posted in the amount of the estimated value of the construction
of the parking facilities. Before granting such temporary occupancy, the Director of Public Works
and Utilities must determine that construction of the parking facilities prior to occupancy of the
building would not represent sound construction practice, due to weather conditions, availability of
materials and/or difficult site conditions, and the acceptance of such bond is therefore appropriate.
Improvement bonds may be accepted for a period not to exceed twelve months. During the period
before final completion of the improvements, the parking facilities provided shall at least be graded
and graveled and be maintained in a good condition.
C. Uses requiring six or fewer spaces may occupy a building or zoning lot for up
to twelve months before compliance with subsection A2 of this Section, provided the parking
facilities shall at least be graded and graveled and be maintained in a good condition. At the end of
the twelve -month period, the parking facilities must be in compliance with subsection A2 of this
Section, or a bond must have been provided and accepted in accordance with subsection B of this
Section.
Section 3. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance, or its application to any
person or circumstances, is held invalid, the remainder of the Ordinance, or application of the
provisions of the Ordinance to other persons or circumstances, is not affected.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect five days following the
date of its publication by summary.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a regular meeting of said
Council held on the 4th day of February, 2003.
