§ 18.30.160 Parking and Loading | Olathe Unified Development Ordinance

1. All buildings or structures that are erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or altered must provide off-street parking in the form of garages or areas made available exclusively for parking.

2. Parking spaces must be located entirely on the same property as the principal use, except where specifically provided in this section or the zoning district regulations (Chapter 18.20).

3. No portion of the parking area or structure other than the necessary drives will extend into any street or other public way.

4. The issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy requires compliance with the minimum parking standards. This applies even if a final site development plan was previously approved with fewer parking spaces due to the unknown or changing status of occupancy.

1. All parking areas and drives must be ready for use upon occupancy of a building.

2. Parking areas and drives must be surfaced with a permanent, bituminous or concrete paving meeting the technical specifications prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

3. All parking lots and drives, except those serving single-family dwellings, must have curbs and drainage facilities that are consistent with the technical specifications.

4. Approach aprons and curbs must be Portland cement concrete.

See Section 18.30.050.

Parking stall dimensions are as follows:

Table 18.30.160-1. Parking Space Dimensions
Type	Dimensions (feet) (minimum dimensions; excludes access drives or aisles)	Conditions / Exceptions
Standard spaces	9' x 20'
Parallel Parking Space	9' x 22'
Parking areas reduced for landscaping	9' x 18' (standard) with 25' wide aisle	The reduction in pavement area must be used as landscape area within the parking lot.
Spaces abutting curbed overhangs	9' x 18' (standard)	The parking space must abut an interior parking lot curbed area at least 6 feet wide (with landscaping or sidewalk). The overhang is measured from the face of the curb.

Parking lots must be divided into parking pods with landscape strips, peninsulas, or grade separations to reduce the visual impact of large expanses of paving, to direct vehicular traffic through the parking lot, and to provide a location for pedestrian walks. The maximum number of spaces within a parking pod is regulated by Chapter 18.15 (Building and Site Design Standards).

Landscape aisles must be placed on both sides of entrance drives to create pleasing tree-lined entrances, to direct vehicles into and out of the site, and to provide adequate space for vehicular stacking at exits onto perimeter roadways.

a. Parking lots must separate pedestrians from vehicles through protected pedestrian walkways which lead to store entrances, except for sites with unique conditions or terrain.

b. Sidewalks and crosswalks will connect sidewalks along adjacent roadways, trails in the City’s greenway system and buildings within a development.

c. Walkways must be designed and buffered in a manner that encourages their use.

d. Sidewalks and crosswalks must be designed to keep pedestrians together where they can be seen by motorists, and where they can cross most safely with the flow of vehicular traffic.

e. Crosswalks designated on the final site development plan must comply with the general standards for crosswalks within the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Crosswalks outside of the public right-of-way or in the D District may include:

(1) Brick pavers with concrete borders;

(2) Concrete with brick borders; or

(3) Stamped and colored concrete.

a. For purposes of this subsection, “reserved parking areas” including parking stalls for customer parking, employee parking, persons with disabilities, vehicles for sale, lease, rental, or display.

b. Reserved parking spaces must be designated on all final site development plans and any other plans submitted for approval to the City.

c. Reserved parking spaces used for sale, lease, rental or display will not be located within a required parking/paving setback area, and not reduce the capacity of a parking lot below that required by this section unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission, and not hinder the movement of vehicles in drive aisles.

d. All reserved parking spaces must be striped, maintained, and specifically used for the related purpose as identified on the plans.

e. Areas designated for parking must not be used for display of vehicles for sale, lease, rental, etc.

Parking for persons with disabilities must comply with the applicable requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (United States Department of Justice, September 15, 2010), as amended.

Parking areas and other paved areas such as drive-through aisles must be set back as follows:

1. In Districts AG, R-1, R-2, and for single-family and two-family dwellings in any other district, no parking area will be located within two (2) feet of a lot line, excluding nonresidential uses.

2. For multifamily dwellings not located in a planned district, no parking area will be located within thirty (30) feet of a street right-of-way or in a required yard area.

3. No parking area for a nonresidential use in any residential district will be located within thirty (30) feet of any street right-of-way or in a required yard area.

4. Parking areas are encouraged to be located internal to the development with buildings abutting the right-of-way. When this layout is not possible, parking areas located adjacent to any street right-of-way will be screened in accordance with Section 18.30.130.

5. In mixed use, commercial, office, business park and industrial districts, no parking area will be located within the applicable parking and paving setback requirements within that zoning district.

6. Parking area setbacks within planned zoning districts must be approved with the final site development plan, and must not occupy any portion of the required yard areas.

See Section 18.30.135.

1. The interior of parking areas must be landscaped in accordance with this section.

2. As part of a rezoning, special use permit or site plan condition, the Approving Authority may require that any wall, fence or screen planting around a parking area must be set back from a street if needed to prevent adverse effects upon the appropriate use of adjacent property or to prevent a traffic concern. This setback will not exceed the front or side yard requirement applicable to the zoning district.

1. A portion of the parking area required for office, business park or industrial development may remain unimproved until it must be improved to adequately serve the parking demand. Delayed construction of parking is permitted only if:

a. The initial occupancy of the premises is adequately served by the lesser number of spaces;

b. The final site development plan clearly indicates the location, pattern and circulation to and from the deferred parking spaces.

2. The land area delineated for future parking must be brought to finished grade and landscaped, and not be used for building, storage, loading or other purposes.

1. No driveway serving a single- or two-family dwelling will be located within two (2) feet of an adjoining lot line except for a driveway serving two (2) properties.

2. Parking is restricted to customary passenger vehicles and emergency vehicles up to a factory designated, one (1) ton, single axle, dual wheel size which is unloaded and immediately available for emergency response by an operator who is on duty or on call. However, emergency vehicles will not be parked upon a driveway for more than twelve (12) hours during any twenty-four (24) hour period.

3. All passenger cars must be parked on paved driveways or parking areas relating to the garage or carport. In areas where there are no garages or carports, passenger cars and motor vehicles may be parked on paved driveways constructed perpendicular to the street.

4. No parking is allowed in that portion of the street right-of-way not used for traffic movement, i.e., between the curb and the sidewalk, and between the curb and the front lot line.

5. Parking passenger vehicles on driveway extensions that lead directly to the garage or carport is permitted, if the extension does not exceed more than one additional ten (10) foot drive beyond the capacity of the garage or carport, and is adjacent and connected to the existing driveway. If there is no garage or carport, a drive up to twenty-two (22) feet in width is permitted.

6. No person will stop, stand or park a commercial vehicle on any street, alley, or lot within any residential district, except when necessarily loading or unloading property or when in the performance of a service to or upon property in the block where the vehicle is parked. This section may not be avoided by a mere location change of a vehicle within the residential district. Residential district refers to any place or area where the property is zoned for residential occupancy including single-family, two-family and multifamily dwellings.

1. The minimum number of parking stalls is as indicated in Table 18.30.160-2, below. Where the parking ratio indicates “sf,” the ratio is based on gross floor area excluding attics, cellars, or similar uninhabitable space.

2. The Planning Official may determine the parking requirements for any use not listed above, based on the determination of similar uses as set out in the Use Matrix (Chapter 18.20) and any documentation of parking generation for that type of use.

3. Where convention centers, conference centers, assembly halls, ballrooms or other similar facilities are built in conjunction with a hotel, office park or shopping center, the Planning Commission or Governing Body may permit up to a thirty-five (35) percent parking space reduction for each of the uses listed above when built in conjunction with the uses listed above, due to overlapping usage of a portion of the parking spaces. Request for such shared parking must be received as part of a preliminary development plan. The request must outline the justification in reducing the number of parking spaces. In addition, a change in use to a use other than listed above must conform to City parking standards.

4. Whenever a theater is located in a shopping center that has more than two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet of gross floor area, the number of parking spaces required for the theater may be reduced by twenty-five (25) percent; provided, that a joint parking agreement for the joint use of all parking within the shopping center is reviewed and approved by the City. The agreements must be recorded with the Register of Deeds and a copy submitted with the application for a building permit.

5. The revised parking requirement for eating places (of all types) will not apply to any preliminary site development plan approved in a planned district prior to August 1, 2005; provided, that a final site development plan is approved complying with the preexisting parking requirements and a building permit is issued prior to August 1, 2006.

6. The revised parking requirement for eating places (of all types) will not apply to any final site development plan approved in a planned district prior to August 1, 2005, or to any site development plan approved in a conventional district prior to August 1, 2005; provided, that the approved plan complied with the preexisting parking requirement.

1. For purposes of this section there will be considered to be two (2) sizes of off-street loading spaces. Each large space must have an overhead clearance of at least fifteen (15) feet, be at least twelve (12) feet wide and be at least fifty (50) feet long, exclusive of access or maneuvering area, platform and other appurtenances. Each small space must have an overhead clearance of at least twelve (12) feet, be at least twelve (12) feet wide and be at least thirty (30) feet long, exclusive of access or maneuvering area, platform and other appurtenances.

2. Off-street loading facilities must be located on the same building site on which the structure for which they are provided is located. Access, maneuvering area, ramps and other appurtenances must be furnished off the street right-of-way and so arranged that vehicles are not permitted to back from the property into the street. The number of required loading spaces which are adequate to serve the uses or categories of uses proposed must be in accordance with Table 18.30.160-3.

3. Off-street loading facilities must be constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with City standards and must be surfaced with concrete, asphaltic concrete or asphalt maintained in good condition, free of weeds, dust, trash and debris.

4. Where access and drives to off-street loading facilities occur in conjunction with off-street parking facilities that provide parking at street level for more than six hundred (600) cars, provisions must be made to maintain separate circulation routes within such facilities.

5. Any off-street loading facility will not be used to satisfy the space requirements for any off-street parking facilities or portions thereof.

6. For the purpose of determining the amount of off-street loading, or if the number of berths to be provided by such use is not readily determinable, the number of loading areas will be fixed by the Planning Commission.

7. When off-street loading facilities are gated, fenced or secured by any other means, staging or parking for tractor trailers, trucks, or other such delivery vehicles must be accommodated within a designated parking area on site. Staging of vehicles on public right-of-way is prohibited.
