5-3.2. Method of determining number of spaces. For
purposes of determining the number of off-street parking
spaces required for a particular use, the following rules
shall apply:
-
Floor
area shall include the gross area of the floor space
devoted to the use, including space used for incidental
purposes related thereto, and shall be measured along
exterior faces of enclosing walls or partitions or,
in the case of attached buildings or abutting spaces
within the same building devoted to different uses,
shall be measured along the center lines of common walls
or partitions.
-
Number
of employees shall be construed as the maximum number
of persons employed on any working shift.
-
When
computation of required number of spaces based on floor
area, units, employees, or seating capacity results
in a fractional number, the required number of spaces
shall be the nearest whole number.
-
When
a building or premises is devoted to more than one (1)
use, the total number of spaces required shall be the
sum of the spaces required for each use.
-
Required
off-street parking spaces may be provided within garages,
carports or enclosed building space when the provisions
of this article pertaining to dimensions and accessibility
of parking spaces are met.
5-3.3. Nonconforming number of spaces. Whenever any
change is made in a building or use for which the existing
number of off-street parking spaces is nonconforming, the
following rules shall apply:
-
Whenever
any change is made in a building or use so that the
number of spaces required after the change by application
of the provisions of section 5-3.1 of this article is
not more than fifty (50) percent greater than the number
of spaces required before the change, then not less
than the number of spaces required for that increase
shall be provided in addition to the number of spaces
provided prior to the change in the building or use.
The purpose of this provision is to preserve any nonconforming
right that may exist prior to any minor change in a
building or use, but to require such additional parking
as may be necessitated by the change.
-
Whenever
any change is made in a building or use so that the
number of spaces required after the change by application
of the provisions of section 5-3.1 of this article increases
by more than fifty (50) percent of the number of spaces
required before the change, then not less than the total
number of spaces necessary to comply with the requirements
of that section shall be provided. The intent of this
provision is to eliminate any right to a nonconforming
number of parking spaces and to bring the property into
full compliance with the parking requirements when a
substantial change in a building or use is made.
5-3.4. Location of required parking spaces. Required
off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same lot
or development site as the use for which they are required,
provided that parking spaces required for uses other than
dwelling uses, lodginghouses, tourist homes, group homes,
child care centers and motels may be located off the premises
when all of the following conditions are met:
-
The
parking area within which such parking spaces are provided
shall comply with the use regulations and all other
requirements of the district in which it is located.
-
Such
parking spaces shall be located within three hundred
(300) feet, by normal pedestrian route, of a principal
entrance to the building devoted to the use they are
intended to serve.
-
Not
more than fifty (50) percent of the parking spaces required
for churches, schools, theaters, auditoriums, stadiums,
lodge halls, dance halls, clubs and restaurants may
be provided by and shared with parking spaces provided
for offices, banks, retail and service uses, and other
commercial or industrial uses which are not open, used
or operated during any of the same hours of the day
or night.
-
Where
the property on which such parking spaces are located
is not under the same ownership and control as the property
on which the use to be served is located, a lease agreement
providing for such parking spaces shall be submitted
with the application for the certificate of occupancy
for the use to be served. The tenure of such lease shall
be for not less than one (1) year, and the form of such
lease shall be approved by the county attorney prior
to issuance of the certificate of occupancy. At any
time the use of the property for parking purposes is
to be discontinued, the zoning administrator shall be
given at least thirty (30) days' notice thereof in writing,
and unless the parking spaces are no longer required
by the provisions of this Ordinance, such spaces shall
be provided elsewhere in compliance with the Ordinance.
5-3.5. Parking space dimensions. Required off-street
parking spaces shall be not less than nine (9) feet in width
and eighteen (18) feet in length, except that spaces arranged
parallel to their means of access shall be not less than
eight (8) feet in width and twenty-two (22) feet in length.
The width and length of parking spaces shall be measured
perpendicular to one another so as to form a rectangle with
dimensions as required herein. Parking spaces required to
be accessible to handicapped persons by the provisions of
the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code shall comply
with the requirements of that code.
5-3.6. Access to parking spaces.
-
Each
required off-street parking space shall be provided
with a driveway or common access aisle directly serving
such space and of sufficient dimensions to enable vehicles
to maneuver into and out of such space without encroaching
into another parking space or extending beyond the designated
driveway or access aisle area.
-
No
area devoted to parking or access thereto shall be designed,
operated or maintained so as to cause any public street,
alley or sidewalk area to be obstructed by vehicles
entering, leaving or maneuvering within such parking
area. Whenever necessary to avoid such obstruction,
maneuvering space shall be provided within the parking
area.
5-3.7. Improvement of parking areas.
-
Parking
areas containing five (5) or more parking spaces and
all entrances thereto and exits therefrom shall be provided
with an all-weather surface material approved by the
zoning administrator. Sufficient improvements shall
be made to ensure that the parking area is usable and
that proper access and drainage are provided.
-
Wheel
stops, curbs, walls, fences, shrubbery or other means
shall be provided along the edges of parking areas where
necessary to prevent parked vehicles from encroaching
onto adjacent properties or into public streets and
alleys, required yards or public walkways within or
adjacent to the site.
5-3.8. Parking in yards adjacent to streets.
-
In
A-RR, R-1 and R-2 Districts, no parking area other than
that which serves a single-family dwelling or a manufactured
home on an individual lot shall be located within any
required front yard or required street side yard.
-
In
districts other than A-RR, R-1 and R-2 Districts, no
parking area shall be located within ten (10) feet of
any street right-of-way line.
-
Yard
areas located between parking areas and adjacent streets
shall be improved in accordance with the provisions
of section 5-3.9 of this article.
-
The
provisions of this section shall not be construed to
prohibit driveways from the street when such driveways
are approved by the appropriate authority.
5-3.9. Screening and landscaping requirements.
-
Parking
areas containing five (5) or more parking spaces and
located in any district shall be screened from abutting
properties located in an A-RR, R-1 or R-2 District.
Screening shall consist of opaque fences, walls or evergreen
vegetative materials of not less than four (4) feet
in height erected and maintained along the property
line or the edge of the parking area.
-
Yard
areas located between parking areas and adjacent streets,
and yard areas located between required screening and
adjacent property lines or streets shall be of a suitable
grade and shall be improved and landscaped with grass,
other plant materials or ground cover in a manner that
will prevent erosion, the spread of dust and the collection
of surface water or drainage thereof onto adjacent property.
Sec.
5-4. Supplementary yard requirements.
5-4.1. Yard exceptions. Front, side and rear yard requirements
shall not apply to fences or walls not exceeding six and
one-half (6 1/2) feet in height, or to permitted signs and

belt courses, eaves, normal roof overhangs, chimneys,
pilasters and similar architectural features of a building

(30) inches or greater in height shall be subject to
all yard requirements.
5-4.3. Yards on corner lots and through lots.
-
On
a corner lot in any district in which a front yard is
required, a front yard shall be provided along at least
one (1) street frontage, and a street side yard of not
less than ten (10) feet shall be provided along all
other street frontages, provided that:
-
There
shall be a front yard along any street frontage
opposite the principal entrance to a dwelling unit;
-
There
shall be a front yard along the frontage on any
street along which a front yard is required for
an adjacent lot. The depth of such front yard shall
be not less than the minimum required front yard
on the adjacent lot or the actual front yard provided
on the adjacent lot, whichever is less. For the
purposes of this provision, an adjacent lot shall
be deemed to be a lot which abuts or lies directly
across an alley from the lot in question and which
has frontage along the same street as the lot in
question.
-
On
through lots, there shall be a front yard as required
in the district along each street frontage.
-
Where
more than one (1) front yard is required on a lot, yards
other than those along street frontages shall be considered

5-4.4. Yards adjacent to streets less than forty (40) feet
in width. The required front yards and street side yards
set forth in the district regulations and elsewhere in this
Ordinance are applicable adjacent to public streets having
a right-of-way width of forty (40) feet or greater. The

by solid fencing or evergreen vegetative material not less
than six (6) feet in height.
Sec.
5-5. Visibility at intersections.

to grow between the heights of three (3) and eight (8) feet
above the grade of the intersection of the centerlines of
the adjacent intersecting streets within the following described
area: A triangular shaped area on the ground bounded on
two (2) sides by the street lines abutting the lot, and
bounded on the third side by a line joining points on said
street lines twenty-five (25) feet from the point of their
intersection. The purpose of this provision is to prohibit
the planting of shrubbery or low trees or the construction
of solid fences, walls or other structures that would block
the visibility of oncoming vehicles to motorists at a street
intersection.
Sec.
5-6. Supplementary height regulations.
