The length of driveways or "throat length" shall be designed in accordance with the anticipated storage length for vehicles to prevent them from backing into the flow of traffic on the public street or causing unsafe conflicts with on -site circulation. General standards appear below, but these requirements may vary according to the projected volume of the individual driveway. These measures generally are acceptable for the principal access to a property and are not intended for minor driveways. Variation from these standards may be permitted for good cause upon approval of the City Planner and City Engineer.

This helps prevent vehicles from stacking into the thoroughfare as they attempt to enter the parking lot. High traffic generators, such as large shopping plazas, need much greater throat length than smaller developments or those with unsignalized driveways. The guidelines here for larger developments refer to the primary access drive. Reduced throat lengths may be permitted for secondary access drives serving large developments. INTERNAL SITE DESIGN`..__ .............. � . V b. Entrances and internal aisle design. The driveway width into parking lots shall meet the following guidelines: U Is ATTACHMENT "A" Entrances. (a). If the driveway is a one -way -in or one -way-out drive, then the aisle widths shall be a minimum of 12 feet wide up to a maximum of 15 feet wide. (b). For two-way access, each entrance lane shall be a minimum of 12 feet wide and a maximum of 15 feet wide. Whenever more than two lanes are proposed, entrance and exit lanes shall be divided by a curbed, raised, landscaped median. The median shall be ten feet wide if three lanes are being proposed or 15 feet wide if four lanes are proposed. (c). Drive -ways that. enter the major thoroughfare at traffic signals must have at least two outbound lanes (one for each turning direction) and one inbound lane. (d). All commercial driveways should have a minimum curb radius of 25 feet. (2). Internal Circulation Drives. (a).

Shared Parking. Parking requirements may be shared where it can be determined that the peak parking demand of the existing or proposed occupancies occur at different times (either daily or seasonally). Such arrangements are subject to the approval of the Planning Commission. ATTACHMENT "A" (a) Shared Parking Between Developments. Formal arrangements that share parking between intermittent uses with non -conflicting parking demands (e.g. a church and a bank) are encouraged as a means to reduce the amount ofparking required. (b) Shared Parking Agreements. If a privately owned parking facility is to serve two or more separate properties, then a "Shared Parking Agreement" is to be filed with the City for consideration by the Planning Commission. (c) Shared Spaces. Individual spaces identified on a site plan for shared users shall not be shared by more than one user at the same time. 4. Reduced Parking within Mixed Use Developments. Parking requirements may be reduced where it can be determined that the peak parking demand of the existing or proposed occupancies occur at different times (either daily or seasonally). Such arrangements are subject to the approval of the Planning Commission. (a) Request for Parking Space Reduction. A shared parking plan must be prepared to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission showing that parking spaces most conveniently serve the land uses intended, directional signage is provided if appropriate, and pedestrian links are direct and clear. (b) Calculating Parking Space Reductions. Parking space reductions can be determined by a calculation using Table 4 Parking Occupancy Rates. If the calculation does show a parking space regulation reduction to be feasible, the applicant shall submit a Parking Reduction Worksheet showing the process for calculating the reduction as 10 outlined herein. The calculation using Table 4 Parking Occupancy Rates shall be conducted as follows: (1.) Determine minimum spaces required The minimum number ofparking spaces that are to be provided and maintained for each use shall be determined by using Table 3 Parking Ratios. (2.) Calculate occupancy rates. The minimum number of parking spaces shall be multiplied by the "occupancy rate" (the percentage) provided in Table 4 Parking Occupancy Rates, for each use for the weekday night, daytime and evening periods, and weekend night, daytime and evening periods, respectively. (3.) Sum parking spaces. Sum the parking spaces for. the combined uses for each time period. The number of parking spaces from the time period with the highest calculated number of parking spaces shall be the number of spaces required for the shared parking facility. ATTACHMENT "A" Table 4.

Parking Lot Location Standards. The location of all required and nonrequired parking lots with five or more spaces shall meet the location requirements below. All conditional uses hereunder shall be granted by the Planning Commission in accordance with Chapter 163, governing applications of conditional uses; procedures. 1. Permitted Locations by Right. Parking lots shall be located within the same zoning district as the use they serve. Required parking lots for uses allowed by right within a zoning district are allowed as a use by right in the same zoning district. 2. Permitted Locations as a Conditional Use. a. Parking lots located within residential zones which serve uses in nonresidential zones may be allowed as a conditional use by the Planning Commission. b. Parking lots for uses allowed as conditional uses within residential zones must also be approved as a conditional use. A conditional use for a parking lot may be approved at the same time the use is approved or may be approved separately if additional parking lots are developed later. The Planning Commission shall make a finding based upon the size, scale, and location of these activities that the proposed parking lot will not adversely affect adjacent residential uses or the residential character of the neighborhood. Cross Reference: Use Conditions, Chapter 163. 12 3. Off -Site Locations. If off- street parking cannot be provided on the same lot as the principal use due to existing buildings or the shape of the parcel, parking lots may be located on other property not more than 600 feet distant from the principal' use, subject to conditional use approval by the Planning Commission. 4. Intermittent Parking. Uses which generate only intermittent demand for parking, such as churches, may count available on -street parking within 600 feet of the building as part of required parking, subject to the approval of the Planning Commission.

Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 Telephone: (501) 575-8264 PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE TO: Fayetteville City Council FROM: Shelli Rushing, AICP, Associate Planner THRU: Tim Conklin, AICP, City Planner DATE: August 5, 2002 BACKGROUND ADM 01-19.00 Administrative Item (Parking Ordinance Amendments) to revise Section § 172.01 Off -Street Parking Lot Design Requirements of the City of Fayetteville Unified Development Ordinance to provide a method for reducing off-street parking requirements for properties that share a common parking facility and to revise parking ratios for certain uses. The proposed shared parking ordinance was presented to Planning Commission at the March 25, 2002 Planning Commission meeting. The item was tabled for further study. Staff, the applicant Laura Kelly, and members of the Planning Commission revised the proposed ordinance and are now presenting it to Planning Commission. Staff mailed a copy of the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission on May 30, 2002 to allow adequate time for review. On June 3, 2002, City Attorney Kit Williams distributed a memo suggesting that the shared parking ordinance not go forward until the parking ratios are revised. Staff has researched parking ratios and is recommending changes based on this research. The ordinance mailed to the Planning Commission on May 30, 2002 has been revised to propose new parking ratios. The portion regarding shared parking has not changed. On July 8, 2002, the Planning Commission approved that the proposed revisions to the off-street parking ordinance be forwarded to the Ordinance Review Committee, along with changes to the ordinance to clarify retail fuel sales and provide parking ratios for bars, taverns and outdoor seating. CURRENT STATUS On July 23, 2002, the Ordinance Review Committee recommended to forward the ordinance to the City Council with the following revision: to allow for 30% above and 30% below the recommended ratio. RECOMMENDATION Determine how the parking ratios for high schools should be established Approval of the attached revised § 172.01 Off -Street Parking Ordinance and any recommended revisions. H. I USERSICOMMONLSHELLAREPORTSI PCUD91-l9 SHARED PARKING ORDINANCEICOUNC!L- AUG 20021REPORTDOC The shared parking ordinance provides an option for applicants to either share parking facilities with adjacent properties or reduce the amount of parking required. There are two main elements of the shared parking ordinance. • The first element is shared parking between developments. In these cases, uses that have non -conflicting demands, such as a church and a bank, may choose to share parking facilities if they complete a shared parking agreement. This element is part of the current parking lot ordinance. The parking lot must be within 600 feet of structure sharing the parking facility. The second element is reduced parking within mixed use developments. In these instances, an applicant proposing a single development that includes mixed uses, such as residential and office, can use Table 4 Parking Occupancy Rates of the ordinance to calculate a reduction in parking. The steps for calculating the reduction are provided. The Parking Occupancy Rates are based on parking demand by land use as provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers H. I USERSICOMMONISHELL/IREPORTSIPCIAIbI -19 SHARED PARKING ORDINANCEICOUNCIL- AUG 20021REPORTDOC Summary of Parkiatio Revisions Parking Ratios: The ordinance review committee finds that a range above and below the recommended parking ratio is appropriate. The ordinance currently allows an applicant to increase parking up to 20% of the required spaces. The current proposal increases that amount to 30% and adds that the required parking may also be reduced by 30%. The following change is recommended: 2. Maximum/Minimum Number Allowed. Parking lots may contain up to 2&°63O/ more spaces than therequiredminimumrspaces and 30%less than the required spaces.

Hoffman: Our second proposed ordinance this evening is ADM 01-19.00 which is the parking ordinance amendments ordinance to revise § 172.01 off-street parking lot design requirements in the City of Fayetteville Unified Development Ordinance to provide a method for reducing off-street parking requirements for properties that share a common parking facility and to revise parking ratios for certain uses. Tim or Dawn would you like to give us an introduction and then we will have presentations? Conklin: Sure. This ordinance started approximately about a year and a half ago it started with a meeting with Mayor Dan Coody and talking about the ability to reduce parking through a shared parking between mixed use developments. From there, Laura Kelly, a Fayetteville citizen prepared an ordinance to put in front of the Planning Division based on some work that was done by I.T.E., Institute of Traffic Engineers, that looked at shared parking ratios. Staff asked that they get with the Downtown Dickson Street Enhancement Project to discuss this shared parking within mixed use developments ordinance, D.D.E.P. did review it and they did send a letter in support of this ordinance. At this time I am going to let Shelli Rushing go over the ordinance that is proposed before you tonight. When we initially brought it forward there was a request to also look at our parking ratios. We have quite a few conditional use requests for restaurant parking and bank parking. Staff has gone forward and we have provided those parking ratio amendments also as part of this request. Rushing: The main things I want to point out to you in regards to the Shared Parking Ordinance are two items on page 2.16 starting at the top of the page. This is the newest portion of the ordinance with the exception of the parking ratios and it does address shared parking between developments and setting up those agreements and identifying the number of shared spaces that we basically currently have. The newest portion is the number four reduced parking within mixed use developments and what this does is use table 4 on page 2.17 using the occupancy rates and using the calculation to determine the number of spaces needed for both or one or more developments that are involved within sharing a parking space to determine the maximum amount of spaces needed. Those are for land uses that typically have different peak demand times such as a bank and a church is a good example of land uses that would be able to share parking. That is the shared parking agreement. We also have in your packet, we put together a worksheet so that we could clarify how that calculation is determined because it originally started out kind of confusing. I think based on comments from the last time we were before you, we have included those and tried to clean up the description of the calculation. Then in regard to the parking ratios, what we did is Planning Commission • • July 8, 2002 Page 49 we took a look at our existing ratios. We looked at some of the requests that we have had for conditional use permits to increase the amount of parking and looked at some other ordinances not only just in Arkansas, but also outside of Arkansas and looked at some standards and tried to find those land uses where we felt that we needed some clarification or we actually needed an actual parking ratio, which we didn't have on a few of them. We are proposing a new category for funeral homes, which would be one per four seats in the main chapel, one per two employees, and one reserved space for each vehicle that is used in connection with that business. Another new category is fuel sales with convenience stores and fuel sales only. I think everything kind of fell into gas service stations. We separated those into three separate categories. Another change that we are recommending is that right now we have restaurants excluding drive-thrus, and those that offer entertainment and then we also have restaurants that offer entertainment. What we kind of do is try to clarify that a little bit and come up with a new category, which is strictly restaurants which is one per one hundred square feet of gross floor areas plus four stacking spaces for any drive-thru window. Those are the new categories. The other categories, you have had a chance to take a look at this. We are proposing some slightly revised ratios based on some of the research that we have done. Hoffman: Thank you. Bunch: On the new category on fuel sales only, does that need to be described as maybe retail or wholesale or what does that encompass? Rushing: Strictly fuel sales. Bunch: Would it be like a bulk plant for wholesale sales or would it be like a retail outlet? Rushing: I think we would apply it to both situations. Conklin: It does state with convenience store. Bunch: No, that is the next category. Fuel sales only is this one. The question becomes is that to include a bulk plant where they have the trucks and everything that are hauling to the retail stations? Hoffman: There is only one that I know of in Fayetteville, off of Sixth and Razorback, there is purely a fuel sales facility that doesn't have a convenience store attached to it and I think that they sale wholesale and retail both. I am sorry I don't know the name of the business but that is the only one I know of. Conklin: Mitchell Oil Company. Hoffman: Do you know of any others in town? Planning Commission • • July 8, 2002 Page 50 Conklin: That is the only one I can think of. Bunch: At one time in this town we had quite a few outlets that were help yourself stations where there was basically a little window and a trailer or something like that and some fuel pumps. You know, these things go in cycles. My question is if from past experience of what we have seen in this town, if we should encompass those types of installations and also to differentiate from a bulk oil wholesale operation and a retail outlet. Conklin: I am trying to understand your question. Would that be from a refinery? Bunch: An oil distributor. Someone who has the trucks and the equipment and the large tanks and they haul the oil and gasoline products to retail outlets. Conklin: Would it be like an industrial park use? You are going to have tanks and trucks? Bunch: Like a Mitchell Oil Company. Just an outfit that sells to other service stations, convenience stores, it is more of an industrial application. Hoffman: Can I ask you a question Commissioner Bunch? When we talk about three spaces per each employee and spaces of the pump islands are calculated towards this requirement. Do you have a problem with the actual parking ratio for this use or do you have further questions about the use? I think the use is we can get some more in Fayetteville or not but how does this pertain to the parking? Bunch: Where it just says fuel sales only, a bulk plant operation has maybe several employees that are driving trucks that they pick up products on site and deliver to other sites. What we may be doing by not being more descriptive in our definition, we may be requiring considerable amount of parking at a bulk plant operation when it is not necessary. Hoffman: I would suggest then that the staff take a look at other types of facilities like that and see if they need to have reserved spaces for the trucks and then how many people actually work at those facilities. We are having reserved spaces for the funeral home specialty vehicles, I guess we could reserve spaces for the trucks too. Bunch: I am just trying to get a differentiation between a wholesale distributor type operation and a retail outlet because it seems like it would be an adverse burden. My question is what is the intent of what it says here? Hoffman: Would it clear it up if we just put wholesale fuel sales only? Williams: I think that actually means retail. Planning Commission • • July 8, 2002 Page 51 Bunch: I think it should be retail. That is what my question is. Apparently it is quite confusing because the intent is probably retail. Rushing: Yes. Hoffman: Then do a separate category for wholesale and that should clear it up. Bunch: That would clear it up. Church: Just a quick question for Shelli. On the table on 2.17 it lists out commercial, would retail fall in that? I know there is an asterisk there but I don't know what that means exactly. Would retail fall under commercial because that is kind of its own category instead of falling into commercial. I am just wondering if maybe we should list retail separately because the hours might be different than the normal commercial category. Rushing: At this point we would interpret that retail would fall into that commercial category. This was some of the research that was put together by Laura Kelly and she came up with these land use categories. I don't know if in her research she found a specific category for retail or not. Church: That might just be something to take a look at. Hof man: Does anybody have any other questions for Shelli before we take public comment? Estes: Shelli, in the material that you provided us regarding the restaurant parking, we are told that based on the historic data that the average is 14.9 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. and that that excludes Chili's and then in table three we have got one per 200 sq.ft. of floor area, which his of course five spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. Again, my concern is is there something that we can do to get that current ratio for restaurants up to a more realistic level that is consistent with the historical data? I guess another way of saying it is why did you set it at one per 200 sq.ft. of floor area knowing that the historic data is that we do about three times that? Rushing: That was something that we really tried to take a look at. Keep in mind that these are requests for conditional use permits for more parking. We did not want to set the minimum requirements so high that we had restaurants not being able to meet that requirement. These are particular situations where they requested an amount of parking spaces significantly higher than what we currently not only require but allow. We did not want to set our minimum requirements so high that those other restaurants would not be able to meet it. We didn't want to go to extremes with it but still wanted to be able to try to catch some of those conditional uses that we have coming in. This does catch a few of them, it does not catch all of them. Planning Commission • • July 8, 2002 Page 52 Warrick: I would just add on that in the area on table three that you are looking at, the one per 200 sq.ft. of .floor area for restaurants. If you will look the proposed ratio on that is to delete that category and two down below that is a proposed new category that changes the ratio to one per one hundred sq.ft. of gross floor area plus stacking room. The one per 200 is what we currently have. Estes: So we are going to continue to hear variance requests on a case by case because one per 100 is way below what the historic average is. In other words, what I am saying is simply stated can we sieze the moment and use this as an opportunity and set these ratios closer to the historic data so that we don't force applicants to come to us time and time again with these variance requests for restaurant parking? Conklin: We looked at table one and for McAllister's and Guido's that ratio works for them. If you wanted to set it for the other type of restaurants it would be the fifteen per 1,000 sq.ft. Rushing: Fifteen per 1,000 sq.ft. is the next level that we were looking at. When we took at that you will see when you look on table two, J.D. China and Guido's, the number of spaces J.D. China provided was 57. If we go to 15 per 1,000 sq.ft. they would have had to have provided 93 spaces. Those seemed a little extreme to us and we didn't want to have such significant requirements for some of the smaller restaurants. The same with Guido's. They ended up providing 40 spaces and with the 15 per 1,000 sq.ft. they -would have had to have provided 64. Hoffman: Could we look at instead of holding fast at one per 100 sq.ft., could we put in a percentage and say as long as they fall within some percentage within 50% to 100% of this number, if they didn't want to put that many in they wouldn't have to? It is all based on performance data on these chains that have got a pretty good idea of what they need. Rushing: I believe we could put together something along those lines. Williams: That is why I recommended that you give the Planning Division more power. Right now we say the minimum and maximum number is this. In other words, this is the number and then you say well you've got 20% that the Planner has. I recommend that you go at least 30% with the Planner to give them more wiggle room. The same number right now by ordinance is the minimum and maximum number and really I think that we can rely upon our city Planning Division to use their discretion appropriately. I think 20% up and down from that is not enough variation between different kinds of restaurants and I would rather have you all recommend to the City Council that we give the Planning Division more discretion, more leeway between those two numbers. That is why I recommended 30% as opposed to 20%. Maybe that is not even enough but that would at least take care of some of these problems with different sorts of restaurants. Planning Commission • • July 8, 2002 Page 53 Shackelford: Could we not set a minimum and maximum and have a range? Hoffman: That is what I was talking about. Shackelford: You are talking about just a variance from that. Would it be a request for less parking spaces too? Hoffman: Yes. It happens sometimes. I think you have people that have a high percentage of drive thru and things like that that this would take them into account. Does anybody have anymore questions before we take public comment? Estes: With regard to the schools, considering the gymnasium and the auditorium, is there any way to calculate that on a square footage basis and fall into something like we do for community centers? Rushing: I believe we could do something like that. Estes: How would you suggest that that be done? I have got the idea but I don't have the technical expertise to implement that idea. How would we do that? Rushing: We would have to find a way to coordinate it with what they would be providing for student use. That would be used for auditorium use as well. What I have seen in some of the other ordinances is that they will do one per 10 students based on current enrollment or the one per four seats in the auditorium and whichever one is higher is what they would require. So, you could do something along those lines. Hoffman: Ok, anybody else? Thanks Shelli. We will get back to you because I'm sure we have got more questions. We appreciate it. I will now open the floor for public comment. Kelly: Hi, I am Laura Kelly, a citizen of Fayetteville. I just want to state that number one remember when we are talking minimum requirements flexibility is such a great idea. I am glad you brought that up because when we are talking about land for cars it doesn't help the developer or the city when we take space away and pave it over so flexibility is a good thing and that is why the shared parking element was expanded and introduced to allow in certain circumstances in which you do have some mixed uses with complementary demands on parking, it is really to the advantage of everyone to increase the profitability of that site by allowing some more buildable area. Also, in the categories of minimal use you have feed lot wholesales and emergency medical technicians. You are going to have too many categories if you try to cover everyone and I think it is just really good to streamline and allow flexibility and usability and that is all my comments. Thank you. Planning Commission • • July 8, 2002 Page 54 MOTION: Hoffman: We want to thank you too for the time that you have put into this. I know you • spent a lot of your personal time on helping the city with your ideas and so forth so thanks Laura very much. Would anybody else like to talk to us about this? I will go ahead and close public comment and bring it back to staff and to the Commission for additional suggestions or motions or whatever. I have just a couple of housekeeping items. I would like to add a category for nightclubs and taverns that is currently not listed. I don't know what to suggest for those ratios but I think that they have one space per four seats is kind of a national standard. I hesitate to bring up outdoor seating areas but I think it is something that we should address at some point and those are not covered. I am not sure whether we want to go ahead and exempt places that are putting in fewer than 10 or 15 seats because I think that most of our small bars have limited outdoor seating that is seasonal in nature so I will just throw that idea out and you can think about it and work with it. I would also like to add a standard for queing spaces for any drive- thru facility, banks, restaurants, so whatever. Are there any other comments? I would like to go ahead and move that the Planning Commission approve this for forwarding to the City Council to the Ordinance Review Committee for their consideration in taking into account all of the comments that have been mentioned this evening with regard to retail commercial, the restaurant upper and lower limits, and I am sure that I am forgetting something. I apologize, it has been a long meeting but that is my motion. Bunch: Is that to include the queing? Hoffman: Yes, everybody's comments and the wholesale verses retail fuel sales. Bunch: Nightclubs and taverns. Hoffman: Nightclubs, taverns, outdoor seating. Bunch: At what point in time do those standards get developed and get inserted? Hoffman: I think that between the time, this is something I personally trust staff with. They have done an excellent job of researching what is done nationally and what seems to be a national standard and these really don't vary that much: If you guys can find similar cities of similar size and use those ordinances as a guide then I have no problem with them inserting that. We are all free to go to the public meetings that will occur and if this goes to the Ordinance Review Committee. Bunch: I will second. Hoffman: I have a motion and a second. Is there any additional comment? Renee, would Planning Commission July 8, 2002 Page 55 you call the roll please? Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to approve ADM 01-19.00 was approved by a vote of 8-0-0. Hoffman: Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. Thank you everyone for your hard work and efforts. We do appreciate it. That concludes our agenda for this evening. Tim, do we have any announcements? Conklin: I would just like to remind the Commission that we are scheduling a Planning Commission retreat. I believe that that is July 29`x. If you put that on your calendar we will get more information to you. That is all I have. Hoffman: Ok, thanks Tim. We will adjourn this meeting. Thank you everybody and have a great night.
