20.48.010 INTENT.

The intent of this chapter is to require off-street parking and loading facilities in proportion to the parking and loading demand of land uses while minimizing the amount of impervious surface where possible. The purpose of the regulations and design standards are to ensure the usefulness of parking and loading facilities, to protect the public safety, to mitigate adverse land use impacts and to protect the visual, water and air quality of the community. (Ord. 5301 §3 (Exh. B) (part), 2016: Ord. 4950 §8 (Exh. A) (part), 2005)

20.48.020 APPLICABILITY.

(a)    General. The provisions of this chapter shall be applied at the time of erection of any building or structure, or at the time any principal building or structure is enlarged or increased in capacity unless provided for otherwise by law. This chapter shall be used in conjunction with specific off-street parking requirements set forth in this title. In cases of conflict, the most stringent requirement shall apply.

(b)    Remodeled, Improved, or a Change of Use. When an existing structure is remodeled, improved, or a change of use or tenancy occurs on a legally established site, it shall be exempt from providing additional off-street parking; provided, that:

(1)    The structure is not enlarged, extended, or structurally altered outside the existing building envelope in a manner that would require additional parking pursuant to this chapter. In the case of a structure expanding, the number of additional spaces shall be computed only to the extent of the enlargement, regardless of whether or not the number of previous existing spaces satisfies the requirements of this chapter.

(2)    In residential structures, alterations do not increase the number of dwelling units.

(3)    The number of off street parking spaces is not decreased, except in cases where the resulting decrease in parking conforms to the minimum number required by this chapter.

(4)    This does not apply to adaptive reuses per BMC 20.46.070.

(c)    Movement of Building. If a building is moved to a new lot, off-street parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. (Ord. 5301 §3 (Exh. B) (part), 2016: Ord. 4950 §8 (Exh. A) (part), 2005)

20.48.030 NONCONFORMITIES.

Any use which, on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter or any amendments hereto, is nonconforming in terms of required off-street parking facilities may continue in the same manner as if they were conforming unless any of the provisions set forth in BMC 20.48.020 would apply. However, in no case shall nonconforming parking have its existing number of off-street parking spaces reduced. (Ord. 5301 §3 (Exh. B) (part), 2016: Ord. 4950 §8 (Exh. A) (part), 2005)

20.48.040 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

The following requirements are applicable to all zoning districts:

(a)    Occupancy. No building or structure shall be approved for occupancy unless adequate parking facilities are provided consistent with the requirements of this chapter.

(b)    Availability. All required off-street parking spaces shall be made available and continuously maintained for the parking of residents, customers, patrons and employees of the related land uses and shall not be rented, leased or otherwise assigned to any person or organization not related to the principal or accessory land use.

(c)    Plans Required. No building permit shall be issued until the applicant has submitted satisfactory plans to the City showing how the off-street parking and loading facilities required by this chapter will be provided and maintained. Development of a parking lot without a building or other structure does not require a building permit, but does require site plan review in accordance with BMC 20.58.080.

(d)    Maintenance. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that parking areas and driveways are continually maintained in good condition and free of refuse and debris. All required landscaping shall be kept in a healthy condition and properly maintained.

(e)    Nonparking Activities. No business, temporary or permanent display, or other nonparking activity shall occur on any required parking space.

(f)    Parking Prohibited. Parking is prohibited on landscaped or other areas not designed and approved for parking.

(g)    Unobstructed Access and Circulation.

(1)    Unobstructed vehicular access to and from public or private streets shall be provided for all off-street parking spaces. Vehicular access drives shall be designed to ensure the safety of persons using such access or traveling on the public street.

(2)    Required parking and all maneuver areas shall remain free of all obstructions.

(3)    No parking space may block access to another parking space unless the City has approved a tandem parking design and valet parking with a tenant is made available during hours of operation.

(4)    Except for single-family and duplex structures on individual lots, parking spaces shall be designed to prevent the backing of vehicles onto a public right-of-way, or a private street other than an alley.

(h)    Shared Driveways. Shared driveways are encouraged for abutting lots whenever practical. Approval shall include easements granting access to all property owners using the shared driveway. (Ord. 5301 §3 (Exh. B) (part), 2016: Ord. 4950 §8 (Exh. A) (part), 2005)

20.48.050 MODIFICATIONS TO PARKING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

The parking development standards included in BMC 20.48.060 and 20.48.080 are base standards. Individual zone chapters may provide additional parking standards, or departures from these base standards. In cases of conflict, parking development standards in individual zone chapters shall supersede. Further reductions from base parking standards may be allowable per BMC 20.48.100. (Ord. 5301 §3 (Exh. B) (part), 2016: Ord. 4950 §8 (Exh. A) (part), 2005)

20.48.100 PARKING REDUCTION.

Modifications to the requirements of this chapter may be granted for the following:

(a)    For a modification to the number of off-street parking spaces required by this title, a decrease in the required number of spaces may be granted if the number of spaces proposed is documented by an adequate and thorough parking-demand-and-utilization-study to sufficiently serve the use with appropriate off-street parking. The study shall be prepared by a licensed transportation engineer or other qualified professional with parking demand expertise, and shall analyze the operational characteristics of the proposed use which justify a parking reduction. Approval of a parking reduction shall be solely at the discretion of the City. The following reductions do not require the above mentioned report:

(1)    Covered Bicycle Storage. If covered and secured bicycle storage is provided on site, a credit towards parking requirements at a ratio of one (1) less parking stall per six (6) bicycle spaces will be granted. The Director may increase credits according to size of development and anticipated pedestrian and bicycle activity and proximity to transit facilities. A maximum reduction of five (5) percent of required parking stalls may be granted. If a reduction of five (5) or more stalls is granted, then changing facilities including showers and lockers shall be required.

(2)    Transit Improvements. For new residential development consisting of ten (10) or more dwelling units, or commercial projects consisting of fifty (50) or more employees, and located within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of an existing or planned transit facility, a reduction in parking may be requested for up to fifteen (15) percent of required spaces if improvements to the local transit system are made by the applicant. Any such plan requires the approval of Kitsap Transit and the City.

(3)    Designated Land Use Centers. If a change of use occurs on a property within a center zone designation, resulting in a significant increase in the parking requirement, the Director may reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces by up to ten (10), provided:

(i)    Sites containing multiple buildings and/or uses shall have the reduction applied to the entire site and not to individual uses;

(ii)    The number of existing off-street parking spaces is not reduced.

(4)    Group Residential Facility - Class I, Adult Family Home, and Group Residential Home. The Director may authorize a reduction in the number of required parking spaces for a group residential facility - Class I, adult family home, or group residential home if there is a clear indication that the requirements of this chapter are excessive due to such factors as the resident’s age, ability to drive, or mental or physical abilities and disabilities.

20.48.140 ACCESSIBLE PARKING.
