E. Dwellings, Single-Family. The following provisions apply to attached and detached single-family dwellings:
1. For single-family dwellings located on a lot with a width of at least fifty feet, two enclosed parking spaces are required. If the spaces are located on the front half of the property, they must be enclosed in a garage with doors. If located on the rear half of the property, the spaces may be either in a garage or a carport. In either case, tandem spaces may be permitted subject to administrative review, and only if the driveway area in front of the garage or carport is at least eighteen feet long. Carports are not allowed in the front half of the property.
2. For single-family dwellings located on a lot with a width of less than fifty feet, two enclosed parking spaces are required. Alternatively, subject to administrative use permit, one space in a garage located in the front half of the lot and one uncovered space in the driveway for tandem parking may be provided if the driveway area is at least eighteen feet long. Carports are not allowed in the front half of the property.
3. Each driveway shall lead to a covered parking space.
4. Paved or unpaved driveways not leading to a required parking space are prohibited. In no case shall driveways or paved areas exceed fifty percent of the front and side street yards.
5. Only one driveway per parcel shall be allowed, except that a second driveway may be allowed on a corner lot to serve a secondary unit, subject to approval by the zoning administrator.
6. Carports. Only permanent structures are allowed. Carports are allowed on the rear half of lot and must meet setbacks.
F. Dwellings, Two-Family (Duplexes). Two spaces per unit are required for two-family dwellings. If the spaces are located in the front half of the property, the required spaces must be garage spaces with garage doors. If located on the rear half of the property, the spaces may be either garage spaces or carport spaces. The parking spaces for each unit may be in tandem, subject to an administrative approval, and provided the driveway area is at least eighteen feet long. Carports are not allowed in the front half of the property.
G. Transitional or Supportive Housing. One-half parking space per unit, or based upon a site-specific parking and neighborhood analysis if less than this ratio is proposed.

17.54.040 General rules.
A. Mixed Uses. When two or more uses are located on the same lot or parcel or within the same building, the number of off-street parking spaces required shall be the sum of the total of the requirements of the various individual uses computed separately, except as otherwise provided in Section 17.54.050, Parking waivers and reductions.
B. Cooperative Facilities. Required off-street parking spaces for separate uses may be provided through the cooperative establishment and operation of a common parking facility, subject to the following provisions:
1. The total number of spaces so provided shall not be less than the sum of the individual requirements, except as otherwise provided in subsection C of this section.
2. The facility shall conform to all other sections of these standards.
3. An attached copy of a contract between the parties and their heirs, successors, lessees, or designees concerned, setting forth the agreement regarding such joint use, shall be filed with the application.
C. Shared Parking. In cases where operators of uses wish to cooperatively establish and operate parking facilities, and certain uses generate parking demands primarily during hours when the remaining uses are not in operation or have a low demand, a reduction in the total number of spaces may be granted, subject to the following provisions:
1. A request for shared parking shall be accompanied by a parking study prepared by a qualified parking or transportation expert.
2. An attached copy of a contract between the parties and their heirs, successors, lessees, or designees concerned, setting forth the agreement regarding such joint use, shall be filed with the application and recorded with the county recorder’s office.
D. Rules of Calculation. The following rules pertain to calculating the parking space requirements set forth in this chapter:
1. When a number of spaces per employee is stipulated, that number shall be based on the maximum number of employees working on the premises at any given time during a normal work schedule.
2. Unless otherwise specified, when a number of spaces per square feet is stipulated, that measurement shall be of the gross floor area of each building devoted to such use, less the interior space used for parking, loading, heating and air-conditioning equipment, stairs and elevators, mechanical and electrical equipment, and communications equipment.
3. When the parking space requirement results in a fraction of a space, the next higher whole number of spaces shall be provided.
E. Prohibited Parking. The parking of any ambulance, tow truck, vehicle for hire, or commercial vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating of ten thousand pounds or more on any lot or street in any residential district shall be considered a commercial use and is prohibited except for deliveries and pickups as provided in Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic. (Ord. 2015-002 § 3 (Exh. 1)(part), 2015)
17.54.050 Parking waivers and reductions.
The zoning administrator may waive or reduce certain parking requirements as follows:
A. Parking District Waiver. Minimum off-street parking requirements may be waived for properties that have access to public parking facilities. The waiver may be granted by the zoning administrator. See Section 17.18.090, Minor design review.
B. On-Street Parking. On-street parking adjacent to the subject property may be counted toward the parking requirement.
C. Senior Housing. For multiple-family dwellings designed and used for senior housing, the number of parking spaces may be reduced based upon factors such as: ongoing bus-resident services, and expectation of resident driving. The project applicant shall submit a report, prepared by a qualified transportation planning or engineering professional, which demonstrates the rationale and includes data that supports the request for reduced on-site parking. Information in this report shall demonstrate how the project sponsor will ensure the reduced parking will be managed for the life of the project. If this information cannot be demonstrated, one-half parking space per unit shall be required. The parking shall be covered in a carport or garage, and shall use the multiple-family site planning criteria for parking lots contained in Appendix A of the San Pablo Municipal Code.
D. Accessory Dwelling Units. See Section 17.60.070 for parking and other requirements.
E. Credit for Nonexclusive Use by General Public. Parking lots or garages that are available for nonexclusive public use may be considered for a ten percent reduction in minimum parking requirements.
F. Proximity to Transit. For buildings located within one-quarter mile of a transit stop, the number of parking spaces may be reduced by ten percent.
G. If a bicycle rack is provided, one parking space may be waived.
H. Parking in Mixed-Use Projects. In mixed-use projects with residential, office, and/or commercial components, it is assumed that some parking spaces will be shared due to the difference in peak parking demand.
1. Calculation of the minimum vehicular parking for the portion of the building occupied by the primary use is based on one hundred percent of the floor area.
2. Calculation of the minimum vehicular parking for the portion of the building occupied by secondary or subsequent uses may be calculated at eighty percent of the floor area.
I. Additional Parking Reductions. The city may consider additional reductions to parking standards subject to the issuance of a use permit, as follows:
1. The application shall be accompanied by a parking study prepared by a qualified parking or transportation expert.
2. The application can include an agreement for shared off-site parking. (Ord. 2020-002 § 21, 2020: Ord. 2015-002 § 3 (Exh. 1)(part), 2015)
