Morrisville Unified Development Ordinance - April 2019

Article 5: Development Standards Section 5.10. Parking and Loading 5.10.9. Off-Street Vehicle Parking Alternatives

Reserve Parking Plan The alternative parking plan shall include a reserve parking plan identifying: (a) the amount of off- street parking being deferred, and (b) the location of the area to be reserved for future parking, if future parking is needed. Parking Demand Study a. The alternative parking plan shall provide assurance that within 18 months after the initial Certificate of Compliance/Occupancy is issued for the proposed development, an off-street parking demand study evaluating the adequacy of the existing parking spaces in meeting the off-street parking demand generated by the development will be submitted to the Planning Director. b. If the Planning Director determines that the study indicates the existing parking is adequate, then construction of the remaining number of parking spaces shall not be required. If the Planning Director determines that the study indicates additional parking is needed, such parking shall be provided consistent with the reserve parking plan and the standards of this section, and shall be provided within 12 months after the Planning Director’s determination. Areas reserved for future parking shall be brought to the finished grade and shall not be used for buildings, storage, loading, or other purposes. Landscaping of Reserve Areas Required Areas reserved for future off-street parking shall be landscaped with an appropriate ground cover, and if ultimately developed for off-street parking, shall be landscaped in accordance with Section 5.12.4, Vehicle Use Area Landscaping. F. Valet and Tandem Parking An alternative parking plan may propose to use valet and tandem parking to meet a portion of the minimum number of off-street vehicle parking spaces required for a development with commercial uses in accordance with the following standards: b. No more than 30 percent of the total number of parking spaces provided shall be designated for valet or tandem spaces except for hotels, where up to 100 percent of parking spaces may be designated for valet parking. Drop-Off and Pick-Up Areas The development shall provide a designated drop-off and pick-up area. The drop-off and pick- up area may be located adjacent to the building served, but may not be located in a fire lane or where its use would impede vehicular and/or pedestrian circulation or cause queuing in a public street or internal drive aisle serving the development. Valet Parking Agreement Except where associated with a hotel, valet parking may be established and managed only in accordance with a valet agreement. The agreement shall include provisions ensuring that a valet parking attendant will be on duty during hours of operation of the uses served by the valet parking. The agreement shall be submitted to the Planning Director for review and approval. An attested copy of an approved and executed agreement shall be recorded with the Register of Deeds for the county in which the site is located before issuance of a Certificate of Compliance/Occupancy for any use to be served by the shared parking area. Limitations on Reserve Areas Number of Valet or Tandem Spaces a. The development provides a total of at least 75 or more off-street parking spaces.
