The proposed development will generate storm runoff which produces potentially significant environmental impacts and which must be properly discharged and mitigated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The District in cooperation with the City and County has developed and adopted the Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. Compliance with and implementation of this Master Plan by this development project will satisfy the drainage related CEQA/NEPA impact of the project mitigation requirements.
Pursuant to the District
’
s Development Review Fee Policy, the subject project shall pay review fees for issuance of this Notice of Requirements (NOR) and any plan submittals requiring the District ’
s reviews. The NOR fee shall be paid to the District by Developer before the Notice of Requirement will be submitted to the City. The Grading Plan fee shall be paid upon first submittal. The Storm Drain Plan fee shall be paid prior to return/pick up of first submittal.
The proposed development shall pay drainage fees pursuant to the Drainage Fee Ordinance prior to issuance of a building permit at the rates in effect at the time of such issuance. The fee indicated above is valid through 2/28/25
based on the site plan
submitted to the District on
2/03/25
Contact FMFCD for a revised fee in cases where changes are made in the proposed site plan which materially alter the proposed impervious area.
Considerations which may affect the fee obligation(s) or the timing or form of fee payment:
a.)
Fees related to undeveloped or phased portions of the project may be deferrable. b.)
Fees may be calculated based on the actual percentage of runoff if different than that typical for the zone district under which the development is being undertaken and if permanent provisions are made to assure that the site remains in that configuration.
c.)
Creditable storm drainage facilities may be constructed, or required to be constructed in lieu of paying fees. d.)
The actual cost incurred in constructing Creditable drainage system facilities is credited against the drainage fee obligation.
e.)
When the actual costs incurred in constructing Creditable facilities exceeds the drainage fee obligation, reimbursement will be made for the excess costs from future fees collected by the District from other development. f.)
Any request for a drainage fee refund requires the entitlement cancellation and a written request addressed to the General Manager of the District within 60 days from payment of the fee. A non refundable $300 Administration fee or 5% of the refund whichever is less will be retained without fee credit. 5469 E. OLIVE - FRESNO, CA 93727 - (559) 456-3292 - FAX (559) 456-3194

FRESNO METROPOLITAN FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT
NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS
7. The Federal Clean Water Act and the State General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Industrial Activities (State General Permits) require developers of construction projects disturbing one or more acres, and discharges associated with industrial activity not otherwise exempt from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, to implement controls to reduce pollutants, prohibit the discharge of waters other than storm water to the municipal storm drain system, and meet water quality standards.
These requirements apply both to pollutants generated during construction, and to those which may be generated by operations at the development after construction.
a.
State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities, effective July 1, 2010, as amended. A State General Construction Permit is required for all clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground that result in soil disturbance of at least one acre (or less than one acre) if part of a larger common plan of development or sale). Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent and Permit Registration Documents to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, and complete an annual certification of compliance.
b.
State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, April, 2014 (available at the District Office). A State General Industrial Permit is required for specific types of industries described in the NPDES regulations or by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. The following categories of industries are generally required to secure an industrial permit: manufacturing; trucking; recycling; and waste and hazardous waste management. Specific exemptions exist for manufacturing activities which occur entirely indoors. Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board, develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, sample storm water runoff and test it for pollutant indicators, and annually submit a report to the State Board.
c.
The proposed development is encouraged to select and implement storm water quality controls recommended in the Fresno-Clovis Storm Water Quality Management Construction and Post-Construction Guidelines (available at the District Office) to meet the requirements of the State General Permits, eliminate the potential for non-storm water to enter the municipal storm drain system, and where possible minimize contact with materials which may contaminate storm water runoff.
8. A requirement of the District may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the Secretary of the District within ten days of the date of this Notice of Requirements.
9. The District reserves the right to modify, reduce or add to these requirements, or revise fees, as necessary to accommodate changes made in the proposed development by the developer or requirements made by other agencies.

Limits Of FR DPA 2023-03606 v.1
The minimum finish floor elevation shall be
274.66
(U.S.G.S. Datum).
The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities, excluding dedication of storm drainage easements, is eligible for credit against the drainage fee of the drainage area served by the facilities. A Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit.
Reimbursement provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that developer
’
s Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area, the difference shall be paid upon demand to the City or District.
The developer shall dedicate a minimum fifteen foot-foot ( 15 ‘)
wide storm drain easement as
shown on Exhibit No.
1 . No encroachments into the easement will be permitted including, but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees.
In an effort to improve storm runoff quality, outdoor storage areas shall be constructed and maintained such that material that may generate contaminants will be prevented from contact with rainfall and runoff and thereby prevent the conveyance of contaminants in runoff into the storm drain system.
The District encourages, but does not require that roof drains from non-residential development be constructed such that they are directed onto and through a landscaped grassy swale area to filter out pollutants from roof runoff.
Runoff from areas where industrial activities, product, or merchandise come into contact with and may contaminate storm water must be treated before discharging it off-site or into a storm drain.
Roofs covering such areas are recommended. Cleaning of such areas by sweeping instead of washing is to be required unless such wash water can be directed to the sanitary sewer system.
Storm drains receiving untreated runoff from such areas shall not be connected to the District ’
s
system. Loading docks, depressed areas, and areas servicing or fueling vehicles are specifically subject to these requirements. The District
’
s policy governing said industrial site NPDES program
requirements is available on the District
’
s website at: www.fresnofloodcontrol.org or contact the District
’
s Environmental Department for further information regarding these policies related to industrial site requirements.

Planning and Development Department
2600 Fresno Street
Fresno, CA 93721
Project: Development Permit Application No. P23-03606, Truck Maintenance Shop
District CEQA Reference No: 20240459
Dear Ms. Martin:
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the Development Permit Application (DPA) from the City of Fresno (City) for the project mentioned above. Per the DPA, the project consists of a 4,900 square foot metal building to be used as a commercial truck repair garage with a parking lot containing 5 vehicle and 39 commercial truck parking spaces (Project). The Project is located 121 W. North Avenue in Fresno, Ca 93706. The Project lies within one of the communities in the state selected by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for investment of additional air quality resources and attention under Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (Garcia) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities.
The District offers the following comments at this time regarding the Project:
Assembly Bill 617
AB 617 requires CARB and air districts to develop and implement Community Emission Reduction Programs (CERPs) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities, like those in which the Project is located.
The South Central Fresno AB 617 community is one of the statewide communities selected by CARB for development and implementation of a CERP.
Following extensive community engagement and collaboration with the Community Steering Committee, the CERP for the South Central Fresno Community was adopted by the District’s Governing Board in September 2019 and by CARB in February 2020. During the development of the CERP, the Community Steering Committee expressed concerns regarding the proximity of emission sources to San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 of 9 District Reference No: 20240459
June 10, 2024
nearby sensitive receptors like schools, homes, day care centers, and hospitals, and the potential future industrial development within the community that may exacerbate the cumulative exposure burden for community residents. The Community Steering Committee also expressed the desire for more meaningful avenues of engagement surrounding the land-use decisions in the area. As these issues can most effectively be addressed through strong partnerships between community members and local land-use agencies. Furthermore, the District recommends the City assess the emission reductions measures and strategies included in the CERP and address them in the environmental review, as appropriate, to align the City work with the air pollution and exposure reduction strategies and measures outlined in the CERP.
For more information regarding the CERP approved for South Central Fresno, please visit the District’s website at:
http://community.valleyair.org/selected-communities/south-central-fresno
Project Related Emissions
At the federal level under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the District is designated as extreme nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone standards and serious nonattainment for the particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) standards. At the state level under California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS), the District is designated as nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 standards.
Based on information provided to the District, Project specific annual criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operation are not expected to exceed any of the significance thresholds as identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI):
https://ww2.valleyair.org/media/g4nl3p0g/gamaqi.pdf.
Construction Emissions
The District recommends, to reduce impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the Project should utilize the cleanest available off-road construction equipment.
Health Risk Screening/Assessment
The City should evaluate the risk associated with the Project for sensitive receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit exposure of sensitive receptors to emissions.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 of 9 District Reference No: 20240459
June 10, 2024
To determine potential health impacts on surrounding receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) a Prioritization and/or a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed for the Project. These health risk determinations should quantify and characterize potential Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.
Health risk analyses should include all potential air emissions from the project, which include emissions from construction of the project, including multi-year construction, as well as ongoing operational activities of the project. Note, two common sources of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from heavy-duty off-road earth moving equipment during construction, and from ongoing operation of heavy-duty on-road trucks.
Prioritization (Screening Health Risk Assessment):
A “Prioritization” is the recommended method for a conservative screening-level health risk assessment. The Prioritization should be performed using the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s (CAPCOA) methodology. Please contact the District for assistance with performing a Prioritization analysis.
The District recommends that a more refined analysis, in the form of an HRA, be performed for any project resulting in a Prioritization score of 10 or greater. This is because the prioritization results are a conservative health risk representation, while the detailed HRA provides a more accurate health risk evaluation.
Health Risk Assessment:
Prior to performing an HRA, it is strongly recommended that land use agencies/ project proponents develop and submit for District review a health risk modeling protocol that outlines the sources and methodologies that will be used to perform the HRA.
A development project would be considered to have a potentially significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the health impacts would exceed the District’s established risk thresholds, which can be found here:
https://ww2.valleyair.org/permitting/ceqa/.
A project with a significant health risk would trigger all feasible mitigation measures.
The District strongly recommends that development projects that result in a significant health risk not be approved by the land use agency.
The District is available to review HRA protocols and analyses. For HRA submittals please provide the following information electronically to the District for review:
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 of 9 District Reference No: 20240459
June 10, 2024
• HRA (AERMOD) modeling files
• HARP2 files
• Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission factor calculations and methodologies.
For assistance, please contact the District’s Technical Services Department by:
• E-Mailing inquiries to: [email protected]
• Calling (559) 230-5900
Recommended Measure: Development projects resulting in TAC emissions should be located an adequate distance from residential areas and other sensitive receptors to prevent the creation of a significant health risk in accordance to CARB's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective located at https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/resource-center/strategy- development/land-use-resources.
Ambient Air Quality Analysis
An Ambient Air Quality Analysis (AAQA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of State or National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The District recommends an AAQA be performed for the Project if emissions exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.
An AAQA uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emission increase from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of State or National Ambien Air Quality Standards. An acceptable analysis would include emissions from both project- specific permitted and non-permitted equipment and activities. The District recommends consultation with District staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis.
Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance, is available online at the District’s website:
https://ww2.valleyair.org/permitting/ceqa/.
Truck Routing
Truck routing involves the assessment of which roads Heavy Heavy-Duty (HHD) trucks take to and from their destination, and the emissions impact that the HHD trucks may have on residential communities and sensitive receptors. Since the Project consists of a truck repair shop, the Project has the potential to generate HHD truck trips.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 of 9 District Reference No: 20240459
June 10, 2024
The District recommends the City evaluate HHD truck routing patterns for the Project, with the aim of limiting exposure of residential communities and sensitive receptors to emissions. This evaluation would consider the current truck routes, the quantity and type of each truck (e.g., Medium Heavy-Duty, HHD, etc.), the destination and origin of each trip, traffic volume correlation with the time of day or the day of the week, overall Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), and associated exhaust emissions. The truck routing evaluation would also identify alternative truck routes and their impacts on VMT and air quality.
Reduce Idling of Heavy-Duty Trucks
The goal of this strategy is to limit the potential for localized PM2.5 and toxic air contaminant impacts associated with the idling of Heavy-Duty trucks. The diesel exhaust from idling has the potential to impose significant adverse health and environmental impacts.
Since the Project is expected to result in HHD truck trips, the District recommends the environmental review include measures to ensure compliance of the state anti- idling regulation (13 CCR § 2485 and 13 CCR § 2480) and discuss the importance of limiting the amount of idling, especially near sensitive receptors.
Vegetative Barriers and Urban Greening
There are residential units located east and west of the Project. The District suggests the City consider the feasibility of incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors (e.g., residential units).
While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, vegetative barriers have been shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population’s exposure to air pollution through the interception of airborne particles and the update of gaseous pollutants. Examples of vegetative barriers include, but are not limited to the following: trees, bushes, shrubs, or a mix of these. Generally, a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought tolerant, low-maintenance greenery.
On-Site Solar Deployment
It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zero- carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 6 of 9 District Reference No: 20240459
June 10, 2024
the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the City consider incorporating solar power systems as an emission reduction strategy for the Project.
District Rules and Regulations
The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources, and regulates some activities that do not require permits. A project subject to District rules and regulations would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with the District’s regulatory framework. In general, a regulation is a collection of individual rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. As an example, Regulation II (Permits) includes District Rule 2010 (Permits Required), Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review), Rule 2520 (Federally Mandated Operating Permits), and several other rules pertaining to District permitting requirements and processes.
The list of rules below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Current District rules can be found online at: https://ww2.valleyair.org/rules-and-planning/current-district-rules- and-regulations. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to future projects, or to obtain information about District permit requirements, the project proponents are strongly encouraged to contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (559) 230-5888.
District Rules 2010 and 2201 - Air Quality Permitting for Stationary Sources
Stationary Source emissions include any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any affected pollutant directly or as a fugitive emission. District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) requires operators of emission sources to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO) from the District. District Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) requires that new and modified stationary sources of emissions mitigate their emissions using Best Available Control Technology (BACT).
This Project may be subject to District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) and Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) and may require District permits. Prior to construction, the Project proponent should submit to the District an application for an ATC. For further information or assistance, the project proponent may contact the District’s SBA Office at (559) 230-5888.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 7 of 9 District Reference No: 20240459
June 10, 2024
District Rule 9510 - Indirect Source Review (ISR)
The Project is subject to District Rule 9510 because it will receive a project- level discretionary approval from a public agency and will equal or exceed 2,000 square feet of commercial space.
The purpose of District Rule 9510 is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources; specifically, the emissions associated with the construction and subsequent operation of development projects. The ISR Rule requires developers to mitigate their NOx and PM emissions by incorporating clean air design elements into their projects. Should the proposed development project clean air design elements be insufficient to meet the required emission reductions, developers must pay a fee that ultimately funds incentive projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.
Per Section 5.0 of the ISR Rule, an Air Impact Assessment (AIA) application is required to be submitted no later than applying for project-level approval from a public agency. As of the date of this letter, the District has not received an AIA application for this Project. Please inform the project proponent to immediately submit an AIA application to the District to comply with District Rule 9510 so that proper mitigation and clean air design under ISR can be incorporated into the Project’s design.
Information about how to comply with District Rule 9510 can be found online at:
https://ww2.valleyair.org/permitting/indirect-source-review-rule-overview
The AIA application form can be found online at:
https://ww2.valleyair.org/permitting/indirect-source-review-rule-overview/forms- and-applications/
District staff is available to provide assistance and can be reached by phone at (559) 230-5900 or by email at [email protected].
District Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)
The Project may be subject to District Rule 4601 since it may utilize architectural coatings. Architectural coatings are paints, varnishes, sealers, or stains that are applied to structures, portable buildings, pavements or curbs.
The purpose of this rule is to limit VOC emissions from architectural coatings.
In addition, this rule specifies architectural coatings storage, cleanup and labeling requirements. Additional information on how to comply with District Rule 4601 requirements can be found online at:

PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to present the design standards to regulate the development of off-street parking facilities in the City of Fresno.
The design standards contained herein represent minimum requirements necessary for providing adequately developed parking facilities. For the greater part, these have been taken from the Zoning Ordinance and the Standard Specifications of the Public Works Department. In addition, standards have been developed for those special situations which have not been covered by the above two sources.
These standards deal with the method of parking vehicles in an off-street facility. In designing the parking for a given zoning or use, the Zoning Ordinance should be consulted to determine the number of parking spaces required. In addition, the developer is urged to conduct an independent parking study to determine whether these minimum standards are adequate to meet the parking demands of his specific development.
Subsection 5 of Section 12-306-I of the Fresno Municipal Code provides that the standards required in this manual shall be followed.
-ii-
PARKING DESIGN STANDARDS
1. PARKING SPACE DIMENSIONS
A. Passenger Vehicle Parking Space
There are two basic passenger vehicle parking space dimensions. 9’ x 19’ standard painted stalls and 8-1/2’ x 16-1/2’ small car (compact) painted stalls. Any parking lot or structure may install these basic stalls in accordance with criteria defined on page 6, Section 3. Should a property owner wish to reduce the two basic stall sizes by designating exclusive employee parking areas or by constructing continuous concrete curbs, the two basic stall sizes may be reduced in size. The eight cases defined below reflect dimensions for standard and small car stalls, stalls with continuous concrete curbs, and stalls designated for exclusive employee parking areas.
Case# Length Width Requirements
1 19’ 9’ Standard painted stall.
2 18’ 9’ Standard plus continuous concrete curbs.
3 19’ 8-1/2’ Standard plus designated exclusive employee parking.
4 18’ 8-1/2’ Standard plus continuous concrete curbs and designated exclusive employee parking.
5 16-1/2’ 8-1/2’ Compact painted stall.
6 15-1/2’ 8-1/2’ Compact plus continuous concrete curbs. 7 16-1/2’ 8’ Compact plus designated exclusive employee parking.
8 15-1/2’ 8’ Compact plus continuous concrete curbs and designated exclusive employee parking.
The conditions that must be met in order to define which basic stall size may be used are stated in Section 3 of this manual, page 6.
-1-
B. Truck Loading Spaces
A truck loading space shall be an accessible rectangle having a width of 12 feet and a length of 40 feet. Any overhead obstruction shall have a vertical clearance of 15 feet.
2. DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Driveway Approach Construction Standards
Driveway approaches to private property shall be constructed in conformance with the Standard Specifications of the Public Works Department, particularly Drawings P-1, P-2, P-3, and P-4, as each may apply. Special driveway approach designs not shown in the Standard Specifications may be approved by the Public Works Department for developments for which more than 200 parking spaces are provided.
Driveway approaches on public streets may not be used to furnish circulation from one row of parking to an adjacent row of parking. This traffic circulation must be provided on private property.
B. Backing onto Public Rights-of-Way
Backing a vehicle onto or from public rights-of-way (public alleys exempt) is prohibited in all areas except residential areas located on streets that are classified as a local street. Parking spaces shall be designed and arranged so that it is more convenient for the parking space user to accomplish the necessary backing movements on the private property than it is to back onto or from the public right of way, where backing is prohibited.
-2
C. Access to Parking Spaces
All parking spaces must have convenient ingress and egress. Access lanes shall be clear and specifically delineated as necessary. (Except in lots with less than 10 parking stalls). All access to individual parking spaces shall be from access lanes (aisles) within the parking facility or from a public alley. Aisle widths are stated on pages 9 through 16 of this manual. Final approval of aisle widths that are designated as fire lanes shall be by the Fresno Fire Department.
Note: An aisle way which provides direct access to parking stalls shall be a one-way aisle, except for parking stalls which are perpendicular or parallel to the aisle way, and where opposing directions are each provided in separate bays (two W-1 bays, see pages 9 through 16) or an opposing aisle is at least 13 feet wide in addition to W- 1.
The parking space shall be designed so that the total process of entering and leaving a parking space shall be accomplished in no more movements than two forward and one reverse. No backing maneuver from a parking stall shall conflict or block the public street driveway approach. All such stalls shall be no closer than 20’ to the property line at the driveway approach. With the exception of parking facilities having attendant parking, designing of a parking space so as to require the movement of a vehicle to permit entry or exit from another parking space is not permitted.
All required parking spaces shall be available and accessible at all times for vehicular parking purposes.
D. Traffic Circulation Signing and Markings
Directional signs, arrows, and appropriate pavement marking shall be installed to
control the direction of traffic flow, when deemed necessary by Public Works Department or the Director of the Development Department.
-3-
E. Surface Requirements
All parking areas shall be surfaced in accordance with the Standard Specifications of the Department of Public Works. Reference Public Works Standard P-21.
F. Delineation of Parking Spaces
All parking spaces shall be delineated by appropriate fixed curbing, painted lines (a minimum of 4” wide), or other fixed markers. Compact parking stalls or groups of parking stalls shall be individually signed or marked. Any curb painting used to indicate specific use or time limits of parking spaces shall conform to Chapter 10 of the Municipal Code of the City of Fresno.
G. Physical Barriers
Fixed physical barriers shall be installed to protect public and private property adjacent to the parking facility as well as buildings, landscaping, and appurtenances within the development which could be damaged by vehicles using the parking facility. These barriers shall be designed and constructed to facilitate easy cleaning of the parking surface.
A solid masonry wall shall be constructed when required by the zoning ordinance.
When no masonry wall is required, wheel stops in the form of a 6” high concrete curb or other approved fixed barrier, placed a minimum distance of 3’ from the property line, or the building to be protected, shall be installed. Landscaping shall be adequately protected to avoid damage by vehicles.
Generally, the fixed physical barrier will be placed 3 feet from the property line, or the building to be protected; however, this distance must be a minimum of 5 feet if the vehicles are permitted to back into the parking stalls. -
4-
H. Landscaping
Landscaping and irrigation systems shall be installed where required by the Zoning Ordinance or other condition to zoning. For those parking facilities where landscaping is not required, the developer is encouraged to install landscaping to improve the appearance of his premises and of the general neighborhood.
I. Lighting
A lighting system shall be installed on all off-street parking areas. This lighting system shall be designed to produce a minimum maintained average light level of one-half (1/2) foot candle on the entire parking facility’s horizontal surface, including the parking spaces, the loading spaces and the vehicular and pedestrian circulation areas.
The system shall have a maximum brightness ratio of 6 to 1.
The lighting fixtures shall be hooded and so arranged and controlled as not to cause a nuisance either to highway traffic or adjacent properties. When the parking facility is open to the public during darkness, this lighting system shall be operating sufficiently to produce the required minimum of one-half (1/2) foot-candle.
All lighting designs are subject to review and approval by the City. -5-
J. Maintenance of Parking Facilities and Equipment
All paving, directional devices and protective equipment, landscaping, and other equipment furnished or required on the parking facility shall be maintained to insure safe pedestrian movement, vehicular operation, adequate protection of adjoining properties, and to present a neat and attractive appearance of the facility.
K. Parking Lot Design
The design of parking lots shall conform to the minimum standards shown on pages 9 through 16.
3. CRITERIA TO DETERMINE BASIC STALL SIZE
A. Any parking lot or structure may use Case #1 stall dimensions for design.
B. In order to use Case #2 dimensions a 6” high continuous concrete curb must be used. Concrete wheel stops are not an acceptable substitute. The allowable front vehicle overhang is 3’.
C. To use Case #3 dimensions 90% of the parking area must be designated for the exclusive use of employees. The 10% of the parking area closest to the main building entrance must be reserved for customer/visitor parking. This 10% must be designed to Case #1 or #2 standards.
D. Case #4 dimensions may be used as stated in Case #3 if a 6” high continuous concrete curb is constructed. Concrete wheel stops are not an acceptable substitute. The allowable front vehicle overhang is 3’. -6-
E. Case #5 reflects the basic size for small car spaces in lots or structures. 8-1/2’ x 16-1/2’ is the basic dimension. Up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the parking spaces in any given parking lot in the commercial, industrial, manufacturing, school, or hospital zone districts may be designated for small cars. Other long term parking areas may also be considered by the director. Residential uses may not use small car standards Cases #5 through #8. Before any small car standards (Cases #5 through #8) are allowed 10 standard size stalls (Cases #1 through #4) must be provided. These 10 standard size stalls must be located on the site closest to the main building entrance. 50% of the standard size stalls excluding the required 10 minimum and the required handicap stalls must be located on the site closest to the main entrance (up to 25 spaces). On lots exceeding 70 stalls, 25 standard size and handicap stalls shall be located on the site closest to the main entrance.
F. Case #6 dimensions may be used with the same criteria stated in Case #5 with the addition of a 6” high continuous concrete curb. Concrete wheel stops are not an acceptable substitute. The allowable front vehicle overhang is 2’.
G. Case #7 dimensions may be used if 90% of the parking area is designed for the exclusive use of employees. The 10% of parking area closest to the main building entrance must be reserved for customer/visitor parking. This 10% must be designed to Case #1 or #2 standards.
-7-
H. Case #8 dimensions may be used as stated in Case #7 if a 6” high continuous concrete curb is constructed. Concrete wheel stops are not an acceptable substitute. The allowable front vehicle overhang is 2’.
Access to all spaces shall conform to the parameters outlined in Section 2-C of this manual. If a common space is to be provided serving both small cars and standard size cars, the minimum dimensions for standard cars shall apply.
4. ACCESSIBLE PARKING STALLS
Accessible Parking Stalls shall be provided as required in the zoning ordinance.
Accessible parking for people with disabilities should be consistent with current State and Federal Guidelines.
