The purpose of this Chapter is to assure adequate provisions for bublic access are made in the development of new land use and in the change of use of an existing building. Off - street parking is only one of the provisions that needs to be considered to avoid significant adverse impacts on surrounding private properties and public infrastructure. This parking ordinance encourages transportation demand management to achieve low impact development as an ,ilternative to off - street minimum parking requirements for each commercial, industrial, and public ,and institutional land use. The City recognizes that each business can have a variety of ; ransportation strategies, facilities, and services instead of satisfying access solely by single occupant vehicles (SOV). Many businesses are unique and, therefore, can best determine the minimum -2- parking requirements needed to serve their own needs. In residential zones, off - street parking is required for each dwellin • unit to allow reduction in nonarterial street width standards. This s arkin • ordinance encourages reduction in the impacts of increasing impervious surfaces on the costs for each development and on the environment from stormwater drainage. Reducing pollution from runoff and emissions serve community interests and should be balanced against requirements for more street and parking lot improvements. The City expects new developments to find less costly ways to meet transportation needs and does not want to require unneeded impervious surfaces. 14.40.8+9020 Definitions . A. The following terms shall have the designated meanings for the purposes of this Chapter, unless the context indicates otherwise: 1. "Standard -car parking space" means one hundred fifty -three square feet of parking lot area, eight feet six inches by eighteen feet minimum in size, having adequate access to a public street.

"Parking lot activity" means a non - permanent activity occurring in a parking lot, using spaces otherwise allocated for parking for purposes other than parking by clientele of the primary use of the property. 5. "Shall" means the statement is mandatory and ministerial, and the action so stated is required to be done without discretion by decision - makers. 6.
