Except for driveways serving as off-street vehicle parking
areas for bungalow court, pocket neighborhood, single-family
detached, duplex, manufactured home, and single-family
attached dwellings, the length of a driveway serving as the
vehicular entrance to any off-street surface vehicle parking
area shall comply with the minimum stacking lane distance
established in Tabl Minimum Stacking Lane Distance

Entrance Driveways
Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces [1] Minimum Stacking Lane Distance (feet) [2,3]
1 – 49 25
50 – 249 50
250 – 499 100
500 or more 100 + 15 ft for every additional 50 spaces beyond 500
Notes:
[1] Entrances into parking structures may be credited towards the stacking lane distance requirement provided the parking structure
entrance is accessed from a development driveway and not a primary drive aisle.
[2] Stacking lane distance is measured from the intersection of the driveway with the street right-of-way, along the centerline of the
stacking lane, to its intersection with the centerline of the first entrance into a parking area or other internal intersecting driveway.
[3] If the parking area is served by more than one entrance driveway, the Planning Director can approve a reduction or increase in
the stacking distance for any one entrance driveway in order to allow the minimum requirement to be allocated to other driveway(s).
The sum of all driveways must meet or exceed the minimum stacking lane distance requirement in this table.
