Still requires minimums (e.g., Citywide and Parking Overlay Area 1) Parking maximums are applied in the Downtown Community Plan Area Surplus cap is 2 spaces or 5% (whichever is greater) with a CUP
The maximum number of parking spaces allowed shall be based on use type as listed in the table in Section 9.28.060, Off -Street Parking. The following rules apply when calculating maximum parking requirements:
a. Multiple Uses. When 2 or more principal uses are located on the same parcel, the estimated parking demand shall be the sum of the estimated demand of the various individual uses computed separately, in accordance with this Section, unless shared parking is approved pursuant to Section 9.28.180. b. Maximum Amount of Parking. The maximum allowable amount of parking shall be 2 spaces or 5%, more, whichever is greater, than the quantities specified in Section 9.28.060, except for permanent public parking. No additional parking is allowed in excess of the quantities specified in Section 9.28.060 for the Downtown Community Plan area. In order to obtain approval for permanent public parking in excess of these maximum allo wable amounts, a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission shall be required pursuant to Chapter 9.41, subject to additional required findings.
Pasadena, CA Maximums apply only to non -residential uses. Citywide, additional spaces up to a max. of 50% above the required min/max are allowed without discretionary review.
Discretionary review is required for more than 50% above the required min/max.
In designated TOD areas (within 1/4 mile of transit), the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces shall be reduced by 10%, with an optional reduction up to 20%. The 10% reduction shall be the maximum allowed number of spaces. Offices have a greater reduction (25% reduction with optional reduction up to 35%. 25% reduction shall be the max number of parking spaces). There is one TOD area with slightly different standards
