1 Basic. The basic parking ratio applies to development that does not qualify for a reduced parking requirement (in accordance with the transit area or transit priority area parking ratio or the very low income parking ratio), or for an increased parking requirement in accordance with the Parking Impact Area as described in Chapter 13, Article 2, Division 8 (Parking Impact Overlay Zone). Development qualifying for both a reduced parking ratio (transit area or very low income parking ratio) and an increased parking ratio (Parking Impact Area) shall also use the basic parking ratio.

2 Transit Area. The transit area parking ratio applies to development where all or a portion of the premises is located within a transit area as described in Chapter 13, Article 2, Division 10 (Transit Area Overlay Zone) or that is subject to Chapter 13, Article 2, Division 11 (Urban Village Overlay Zone).

3 The required motorcycle and bicycle parking spaces are those required for dwelling unit type for studios up to 400 square feet through 5+ bedrooms.

4 Parking Impact. The parking impact ratio applies to development where all or a portion of the premises is located within a designated beach impact area or a campus impact area as described in Chapter 13, Article 2, Division 8 (Parking Impact Overlay Zone), unless otherwise noted, but does not apply to development where all or a portion of the premises is located within a transit priority area.

5 Bicycle. Bicycle racks are not required for a dwelling unit with a garage accessible only by residents of the dwelling unit.

6 5+ Bedrooms in Parking Impact Areas. Beach impact area: 2.5 spaces per dwelling unit. Campus impact area: 1 space per bedroom.

7 Accessory Uses. Square footage includes gross floor area plus floor area that is below grade and excludes floor area devoted to parking.

8 Condominium conversion. Existing parking located in required front yards shall not be counted toward meeting the required minimum number of parking spaces. Where the number of onsite parking spaces as originally approved exceeds the required parking in Table 142-05C, that number of spaces shall be maintained.

9 The transit priority area parking ratio applies to development where all or a portion of the premises is located within a transit priority area as described in Section 142.0528 and supersedes any other applicable parking ratio.

10 Student housing located within a 1-mile radius of the boundary of a premise operated as a college or university campus accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges: Senior College and University Commission or the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, may meet the automobile off-street parking spaces requirement through a parking agreement between the college or university and the student housing.

11 Student housing located outside of a transit priority area are not required to provide bicycle parking.

1 Eating and Drinking Establishments. The minimum automobile parking ratios apply to eating and drinking establishments that do not have a common parking area with any other uses. There is no minimum parking requirement or maximum permitted parking for outdoor dining.

Within the CN, CO and CV Zones, the minimum automobile parking required can also be replaced with bicycle parking at a ratio of 2 bicycle parking spaces provided for every required vehicle parking space. Within the Coastal Overlay Zone, outdoor dining areas such as decks, patios, terraces, etc., are considered part of the eating and drinking establishment's gross floor area and are included in calculating parking requirements.
