Table Notes:
1Dimensions are in feet.
2When parking lots may have substantial traffic by trucks or other large vehicles, the zoning administrator may establish larger minimum dimensions.
3Aisle turns must be at least fourteen feet in width.
B. Aisles which do not provide direct access into a parking space shall have a minimum width of twenty feet.
C. Parking facilities shall have permanent markings showing entrances, exits, traffic direction and parking spaces, except where the zoning administrator finds such requirements are not applicable.
D. Up to fifty percent of the total number of spaces to be provided in any development may be sized to accommodate compact cars subject to the following:
1. Each space shall be clearly identified as a compact car space by painting the word “COMPACT” in capital letters, a minimum of eight inches high, on the pavement at the base of the parking space and centered between the striping.
2. Aisle widths and parking stall sizes shall conform to the standards set out in Table 22.44.130: Minimum Parking Space and Aisle Dimensions.
3. The compact stalls shall be dispersed around the site.
E. Excluding shared parking, off-street parking areas shall be located within the same lot, subdivision or binding site improvement plan as the building they are required to serve.
F. Parking facilities shall be designed so exiting vehicles are not required to back into streets, except for residential uses of less than four dwellings per lot on local access streets.
G. Wheel stops are required in all parking areas, excluding residential driveways, to prevent vehicles from overhanging walkways, property lines or other limits of a parking area and to prevent damage to landscaping. The requirement for wheel stops may be waived and the length of the parking stall reduced by two feet if an additional two feet is added to the minimum required width for sidewalks and landscape strips.
H. Any parking spaces abutting a required landscaped area on the driver or passenger side of the vehicle shall provide an additional eighteen inches above the minimum space width requirement to provide a place to step other than in the landscaped area. The additional width shall be separated from the adjacent parking space by a parking space division stripe.
I. The parking space depth may be reduced a maximum of two feet by the zoning administrator when vehicles overhang a walkway under the following conditions:
1. Wheelstops or curbs are installed; or
2. The walkway is increased by two feet. The remaining walkway shall not be reduced further in width.
J. Driveways providing ingress and egress between off-street parking areas and abutting streets shall be designed, located and constructed in accordance with the provisions of the public works development design standards and Chapter 22.42 MMC, Design Standards.
K. Lighting shall be provided for safety of traffic and pedestrian circulation on the site, as required by Chapter 15.15 MMC, Lighting Standards. Lighting shall be designed to minimize direct illumination of abutting properties and adjacent streets.
L. All vehicle parking and storage for single-family detached dwellings must be in a garage, carport or on a paved surface. Any impervious surface used for vehicle parking or storage must have direct and unobstructed driveway access.
M. Vanpool and carpool parking areas shall meet the following minimum design standards:
1. A minimum vertical clearance of seven feet three inches shall be provided to accommodate van vehicles if designated vanpool/carpool parking spaces are located in a parking structure; and
2. A minimum turning radius of twenty-six feet four inches with a minimum turning diameter (curb to curb) of fifty-two feet five inches shall be provided from parking aisles to adjacent carpool/vanpool parking spaces.
N. Any parking stalls located in enclosed buildings must be totally within the enclosed building.
O. The slope of access easements and tracts, and the slope of entrance and exit driveways, including driveways for detached single-family residences, shall be designed in accordance with the City of Monroe Design and Construction Manual.
P. Parking lots shall be arranged as to permit the internal circulation of vehicles between parking aisles without reentering adjoining public streets; and
Q. ADA accessible parking shall be provided in accordance with MMC 22.44.080. (Ord. 005/2019 § 10 (Exh. B))
