The purpose of this section is to provide a procedure whereby business proprietors and property owners have the option to determine parking needs based upon a performance evaluation. This section is intended to apply to unique or special uses where the prescriptive parking standard contained in Section 25.040 appears unrepresentative of actual parking needs and, therefore, creates a hardship on the property owner. It is not the intent of this section to circumvent the normal requirements of this Code, nor create substandard parking conditions. 25.052 Concept. (1) The Performance Parking concept recognizes the need for flexibility in determining parking requirements for those uses which do not fit the standards contained in section 25.040 of this Code. The concept provides the property owner with an opportunity to determine parking needs based upon a submitted plan and the owner's ability to perform in accordance with the plan. (2) The parking plan, as approved by the Site Plan Review Committee, is constructed and placed on probation for an 18 month period. During this period, the parking conditions are monitored to determine impact to surrounding property owners and streets. If it is determined that no impact has been created, the probationary period terminates and the use is declared in compliance with the ordinance. If an impact has been created, the remaining parking requirements must be constructed. To guarantee construction, security must be posted prior to issuance of the development permit. 825.053 Procedure. A performance parking application shall be processed according to the procedures in Schedule 2-1. The procedure for submission, review and approval is designed to insure the general health, safety and welfare of the community while providing flexibility and minimizing time delays to the applicant. (1) Application for Performance Parking Permit. A property owner or his designee may submit an application for a Performance Parking Permit to the Director. The application will be accepted and processed when all of the required information has been submitted. (2) Information Required (a) Application for Performance Parking and non- refundable fee. (b) Off-Street Parking Plan. A Parking Lot Plan shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with Section 25.034 of this Code. If the proposed use involves the preparation of a Site Plan, the Parking Lot Plan may then be part of the Site Plan. The Parking Lot Plan shall show both the total off-street parking spaces as required in Section 25.040, and the location and number of the proposed spaces. The difference between the total and proposed spaces is the amount of relief requested from the zoning ordinance, and is hereby referred to as 'deferred parking'. (c) Evidence of Off-Site Parking Facilities. If any of the total spaces are to be located on a separate parcel, the applicant shall submit evidence as to the ownership of the parcel, availability of parking, and an agreement, lease, deed in escrow, option to buy, or other mechanism guaranteeing the parking with the other owner. Off-site spaces shall conform with the requirements of Section 25.030 of this Code. The use of the off-site parking facilities shall not reduce the number of spaces below the required number for the use occupying the site. (d) Undeveloped Facilities. If any of the deferred parking is located on property which does not contain parking facilities developed to the standards contained in Section 25.030 of this Code, a security guarantee shall be provided for the cost of the facilities and shall be guaranteed for the duration of the probationary period. (3) Application Review. Upon receipt of all required information, the Site Plan Review Committee shall review the request as to compliance with the purposes, intent and standards of this section, and shall report their findings to the Director. (4) Decision on Permit Request. Based upon the submitted evidence and the findings of the site Plan Review Committee, the Director shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request. (5) Issuance of Permit. The permit is issued for the duration of the probationary period. If future facilities are involved, the applicant shall sign a binding agreement and shall post security guaranteeing to construct all required parking in accordance with the approved parking plan. The permit is issued for the use as described on the application. Any enlargement, expansion or change of use of the building shall subject the property to the parking requirements contained in Section 25.030 and 25.040 of this Code. (6) Probationary Review. The probationary period shall begin at time of issuance of Use and Occupancy Permit, or Business License, and run for a period not to exceed 18 months. At the beginning of the probationary period, property owners within 500 feet of the use or building, shall be notified of the request. During the probation period, site visits shall be conducted by staff to determine impacts, if any. At the end of probation period, property owners are notified again and asked to comment on the parking condition. Based upon the evidence gathered during the probationary period, the Director shall determine if the applicant has performed to his stated need. (7) Decision on Performance Evaluation. Upon completion of the probationary period, the Director shall decide: (a) Whether the applicant has performed to his stated need, and therefore, complies with this Code. The permit, agreement and securities, if any, shall become null and void, or (b) Whether the use consistently generates greater parking demand than the applicant's stated need, and that the applicant has failed to perform to his stated need and must comply with the prescriptive standards contained in the Ordinance. The deferred parking facilities must now be constructed. (8) Appeal. Any aggrieved citizen may appeal the Director's decision as provided in Article 10 of this Code. 25.054 Standards. Applicant must conform to the normal requirements of this Code including lot design and materials, number of spaces and landscaping. (1) Parcel Size. Each affected parcel must be of minimum size to physically accommodate the total required parking and landscaping requirements as prescribed in Section 25.040. Exception to the requirement is provided for in Section 25.032, Location of Parking Requirements, of this Code, and subsection 25.054(2) below. (2) Off-Site Parking. If any of the total required parking is proposed off-site, applicant must comply with Section 25.032. Evidence must be provided that: the off-site facilities are exclusively available to the applicant for the duration of his use; the facilities are developed to the standards contained in Section 25.050 and use of the facilities will not reduce the amount of required parking available for any other uses. Evidence of proof must be in the form of a lease, deed, contract or any other written evidence acceptable to the Director. (3) Deferred Parking on Undeveloped Property. If any of the deferred parking is proposed on undeveloped property, the applicant must demonstrate: (a) The development rights of the property are controlled by the applicant for the duration of the probationary period. Proof may take the form of a deed, deed in escrow, deed restriction, or any other instrument acceptable to the Director. (b) The ability to install and cover all costs of the deferred parking. Prior to the issuance of the Performance Parking Permit, the Site Plan Review Committee shall determine all associated costs of the parking and shall receive a security guarantee from the applicant to be held by the appropriate jurisdiction for the duration of the probationary period. (4) Binding Agreement. Applicant to sign an agreement with the appropriate jurisdiction binding him to the terms of the Performance Parking Permit. The agreement commits the applicant to make all improvements as required and pertains to both the land and the parking facilities. The binding agreement shall be implemented through the security guarantee and the possible forfeiture of any public service or facility. 625.060 Bicycle Parking Facilities 25.061 Bicycle Parking Facilities Required. (1) Bicycle parking facilities shall be provided for all new multi-dwelling residential, institutional, commercial, industrial uses. (2) Bicycle parking shall also be provided at the time an existing multi-dwelling residential, institutional, commercial or industrial use is changed, or the building or site is enlarged. A change in use shall provide bicycle parking facilities as required for a new use. A use is considered "changed" when the proposed use of an existing building or site requires more bicycle parking (Section 25.062) than the previous use. If an existing use is enlarged, and the increase is less than 50 percent of the existing structure floor area, new bicycle parking facilities may be provided in proportion to the increase only. If an increase exceeds 50 percent, bicycle parking shall be provided for the entire use in accordance with the requirements of this section. (3) Lots within the Central Business District are not required to provide bicycle parking as part of development permit approval. 25.062 Required Number of Spaces. The uses requiring bicycle parking facilities, the required minimum number of bicycle parking spaces, and the percentage of those spaces that must be covered is specified in Schedule 25- 2.
