Sec. 7.1.1. Applicability

  1. General
    1. No permit for the construction, reconstruction, extension, repair or alteration of any building, structure or use of land and no building or land or any part of any building or land, may be occupied or used until bicycle and vehicle parking has been provided in accordance with the requirements of this UDO.
    2. As applied in this section and elsewhere, the term “parking” may mean both bicycle parking or vehicle parking. Where bicycle parking is the specific subject of a code section, the term “Bicycle Parking” will be used. If the term “parking” would create a lack of clarity, the term “Vehicle Parking” will be used.
  2. Definitions
    1. Vehicle parking. This refers to cars, trucks, and similar vehicles. No parking is required for vehicles, but this code regulates the design and other aspects of any vehicular parking spaces that are provided.
    2. Bicycle parking. This refers to bicycles and scooters, whether motorized or not.
  3. Additions
    1. A building or site may be renovated or repaired without providing additional parking, provided there is no increase in gross floor area or improved site area.
    2. When a building, use or site is increased in gross floor area or improved site area by up to 25% cumulatively, any new bicycle parking that is required for the additional floor or site area or additional vehicular parking that is provided in the absence of any requirement shall comply with all of the related parking standards of this UDO.
    3. When the gross floor area or improved site area is increased by more than 25% cumulatively, both the existing use and the additional floor or site area must conform to the bicycle parking requirements of Sec. 7.1.2.C.
    4. When the gross floor area or improved site area is increased by more than 25% cumulatively, both the existing bicycle and vehicle parking and the new bicycle parking required for the additional floor or site area or vehicle parking that is provided in the absence of any requirement must conform to all related parking standards of this UDO.
    5. Any additions to a vehicle parking area must meet all requirements of this UDO.
    6. No provisions of this section shall mean that existing vehicle parking must be removed to meet maximum parking requirements.
  4. Change in Use
    1. A change in use based on the parking table of Sec. 7.1.2.C. must comply with the parking requirements. Where existing parking spaces exceed the maximum, no existing spaces must be removed and no other mitigation will be required to comply with maximum parking requirements.
