17.21.010 Purpose.

This chapter establishes a list of uses that are permitted in residential zones and the public zone within the City of Dinuba. The intent is to ensure (to the degree practical) that residential and public uses function in a harmonious manner and that uses with similar operating characteristics are reasonably grouped and do not conflict with one another or surrounding areas and zones.

17.21.020 Permitted Uses Table
Table 21-1 lists uses that are permitted in Dinuba’s residential and public zones. Permitted uses are listed in the left column and the residential and public zones are listed across the top. To determine whether a particular use is permitted (and whether it is subject to any special requirements) each box is marked with one of the following:
• “P” Permitted
• “C” Permitted by Conditional Use Permit
• “-(S)” Where the use is listed as permitted (or Conditionally Permitted) along with the letter “(S)”, the use is permitted subject to special standards contained in Chapter 17.45 (Special Uses).
• A box in the table with no letter indicates that the use is not permitted in this zone.

Any use that is judged by the City Planner to be reasonably similar in nature to other permitted uses may be considered a permitted use. Further, any use judged by the City Planner to be reasonably similar in nature to a Conditionally Permitted use may be considered as such (permitted by Conditional Use Permit).

Exhibit 49-1: Parking Design

Exhibit “E”: Dinuba Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 49: Parking and Loading
49-13
b. Circulation

Exhibit “E”: Dinuba Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 49: Parking and Loading
49-14
Parking lots shall be designed so that backing into a public street from a parking stall shall be minimized in order to maintain effective traffic flow along the public street.

Single family dwellings will be exempt from this requirement. The use of alleys to access parking lots is encouraged.

Commercial parking lots shall be designed to allow for cross parcel access (to the extent practical) to preclude vehicles from having to travel onto the street to access adjacent parcels.
c. Paving, Slope and Drainage
All parking lots shall be constructed with a 4-inch aggregate base and a 2-inch asphalt or concrete overlay, described in the Dinuba Improvements Manual. Parking lots shall be sloped so that storm water runoff flows towards public streets or alleys, into on-site landscape planters or bioswales or into pervious hardscape features. d. Curbing and Wheel Stops
Concrete curbing shall be provided around all parking lots and landscape planters consistent with the Dinuba Improvements Manual. Wheel stops may be provided in parking stalls to ensure that the overhang of a vehicle does not interfere with pedestrian movements along a sidewalk, or damage landscaping adjacent to the parking lot. e. Striping and Symbols
Parking lot stalls and travel lanes shall be clearly marked with painted strips. Parking stalls for handicapped persons shall be stripped and provided with the appropriate symbols and signage that are consistent with the American Disabilities Act. f. Lighting
All parking lots shall have pole lighting that property illuminates the parking lot but does not cause a nuisance for adjoining properties.
g. Driveways
Driveways from a public street or alley shall have locations and dimensions consistent with the Dinuba Improvements Manual. For one-way driveways the width of the driveway shall be at least 15 feet; two-way driveways shall have a minimum width of 25 feet.
h. Landscaping (see also Exhibit 49-2)

Exhibit “E”: Dinuba Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 49: Parking and Loading
49-15
All parking lots shall be landscaped in accordance with the requirements in Chapter 17.47 (Landscaping and Irrigation) and the Dinuba Landscape Design Guidelines. Trees shall be planted within all parking lots. Tree species shall be selected that will not cause damage to the parking lot or adjacent sidewalks, driveways or curbing, and will shade more than 50 percent of the parking lot within ten years. Landscape planters between the parking lots and public streets shall be planted with low hedges. As an alternative, a low wall (three feet) may be constructed and shrubs, turf or ground cover shall be planted between the wall and the street.
i. Fencing
Where any parking lot or loading facility directly abuts property in any residential zone, it shall be separated from such property by a solid masonry wall at least 7 feet high, provided that said wall be reduced to four feet adjacent to the front yard setback requirement on the residential parcel.

Parking lots shall be located on the same property as the building they serve, except that parking for buildings in the Downtown Commercial (C-2) district may be located within 300 feet of the subject property. In the C-2 district, new parking lots shall be located at the rear or side of the subject building. Parking lots shall not be located on the corner where two streets intersect.
j. Shared Parking
Where two or more non-residential uses share a single parking lot, the number of required parking spaces may be reduced by a maximum of 20 percent, as long as the total number of spaces is not less than the required for the use requiring the largest number of spaces.

Where non-residential uses share a single parking lot and it can be demonstrated that the uses operate at different times of the day (an evening use versus a day-time use), the required number of parking spaces may be reduced by up to 50 percent of the combined parking requirements of the two uses. Further, the City may consider the provision for up to one half of the required number of parking spaces in an off-site location up to 300 feet away.
k. Parking in Lieu Fee
For development in the downtown (generally defined as parcels that are zoned “C-2” (Downtown Commercial)) the City may establish an in-lieu parking fee, whereby uses that cannot provide required parking on site can pay the City a fee for the City to use to purchase and develop public parking facilities within the area. The fee shall be established based on a study performed by the City Engineer, and adjusted annually. l. Bicycle Parking
Commercial, industrial and public uses are subject to the following bicycle parking standards:

1. Short-term bicycle parking. If the project will generate frequent visitor traffic (such as fast food restaurants, banks, convenience stores, supermarkets and similar uses) the project shall provide a permanently anchored bicycle rack within 50 feet of the visitors’ entrance.

2. Acceptable bicycle parking facilities shall be convenient from the street and may include:
(a) Bicycle parking space size (eight feet long, three feet wide) (b) Bike rack type (should be U-lock compatible).

Exhibit “E”: Dinuba Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 49: Parking and Loading
49-17
(c) Bicycle parking shall be safe, visible, and convenient. (d) For every ten bicycle spaces provided, one parking space may be eliminated, up to twenty percent of the required number of parking spaces.
m. Parking Standard Modifications
Parking space requirements may be modified through Dinuba’s minor deviation process.

A reduction of up to 20 percent in a project’s required parking spaces may be approved by the Planning Director if the following findings can be made:

1. That the granting of the minor deviation will not create a safety hazard or lead to a condition where the loading of public vehicles onto public streets will interfere with the free flow of traffic on these streets.

2. That the granting of the minor deviation will not create a safety hazard of any other condition inconsistent with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance.
n. Handicapped Parking Spaces
Handicapped parking stalls shall be provided per the Uniform Building Code.

Handicapped parking stalls shall be designed consistent with the illustrations shown in the Dinuba Improvements Manual.
o. Loading Facilities

1. Commercial, industrial, office, institutional, and public uses exceeding 10,000 square feet in size shall be required to install an off-street loading facility unless the Planning Director finds that due to the operational nature of the use, none or more than one off-street loading space should be required.

2. To the extent possible, loading facilities should be located at the rear or side of the building that they are to serve.

3. As practical, streets and alleys shall not be used as loading or unloading areas, nor should trucks use streets and alleys for maneuvering trailers into a loading or parking space.

4. Loading facilities, at a minimum, shall have a length of 25 feet, a width of 12 feet, and an overhead clearance of 14 feet. All loading surfaces shall be paved consistent with Dinuba’s Improvements Manual.

Exhibit “E”: Dinuba Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 49: Parking and Loading
49-18

5. Where a loading facility is near or adjacent to a residential district or other noise-sensitive land uses, noise attenuating design measures will be incorporated into the project. These design measures may include increased setback distances, the construction of a 7-foot solid block wall, landscaping or locating the loading facilities away from noise-sensitive land uses.

5. All loading facilities shall be lighted to provide adequate illumination of the loading area for safety and security reasons. Where a loading area is near or adjacent to a residential district or other light-sensitive uses, the lighting shall be directed away from these uses.
p. Drive-Thru Facilities
Drive-through facilities require special consideration as their design can significantly impact vehicular circulation on a site. The following requirements apply to any use with drive-through facilities:

1. Each drive-through lane shall be separated from the circulation routes necessary for ingress or egress from the property, or access to any parking space.

2. Each drive-through lane shall be striped, marked or otherwise distinctly delineated.

3. The vehicle stacking capacity of the drive-through facility and the design and location of the ordering and pick-up facilities will be determined by the director and city engineer based on appropriate traffic engineering and planning data. The applicant shall submit to the city a traffic study addressing the following issues:
i. Nature of the product or service being offered;
ii. Method by which the order is processed;
iii. Time required to serve a typical customer;
iv. Arrival rate of customers;
v. Peak demand hours;
vi. Anticipated vehicular traffic.
