CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Jeremy Pate, Director of Development Services
From : Data Sanders, Current Planner
Date: November 24, 2009
Subject: UDC Chapter 172 Amendments (ADM 09-3463)
BACKGROUND
City Planning Staff is responsible for administering the parking and loading requirements
of the Unified Development Code, Chapter 172 and has noted specific allowances and
requirements that do not benefit development in the City or work toward achieving the
goals and objectives of City Plan 2025 . Staff finds that the current parking ratios,
regulations, and allowances do not adequately promote the use of or accommodate the
needs of alternative forms of transportation (walking, bike, motorcycle, scooter, or bus)
nor are they consistent with Fayetteville's peer cities. Minor amendments proposed
include the addition of parking ratio and vehicular stacking requirements and elimination
of unnecessary regulation; however, staff proposes significant revisions for on-street
parking, off-street parking, and variations in the parking requirements.
PROPOSAL
Staff proposes to amend two (2) chapters of the UDC regarding parking requirements and
regulations as summarized below and attached in full to this staff report:

172.04 Parking Lot Design Standards
(See: Illustration: Parking Dimension Factors)
(A) Maneuvering. Parking lots shall be designated,

sidewalk.
(C)

(1) Throat length. 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 project 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 Zoning and
Development Administrator and City
Engineer.

Commentary The throat lengths in Table 2 are provided to
assure adequate stacking space within parking lot driveways
for general land use intensities. 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.

a drive -up window or are characterized by
patrons remaining in their vehicles to receive

stacking requirements in order to alleviate
traffic congestions:
(a) Restaurant, fast food: a minimum of four
(4) spaces as measured from the drive-

(b) Vehicular washes: a minimum of two (2)

minimum of four (4) spaces for one (1)
drive-thru window, plus three (3) spaces
for each additional drive-thru lane or

161.20 Downtown Core
(A) Purpose. Development is most intense, and land
use is densest in this zone. The downtown core
is designed to accommodate the commercial,
office, governmental, and related uses commonly
found in the central downtown area which
provides a wide range of retail, financial,
professional office, and governmental office uses.
For the purposes of Chapter 96: Noise Control,
the Downtown Core district is a commercial zone.

161.21 Main Street/Center
(A) Purpose. A greater range of uses is expected
and encouraged in the Main Street / Center. The
Center is more spatially compact and is more
likely to have some attached buildings than
Downtown General or Neighborhood
Conservation. Multi -story buildings in the Center
are well -suited to accommodate a mix of uses,
such as apartments or offices above shops.
Lofts, live/work units, and buildings designed for
changing uses over time are appropriate for the
Main Street/Center. The Center is within walking
distance of the surrounding, primarily residential
areas. For the purposes of Chapter 96: Noise
Control, the Main Street Center district is a
commercial zone.

161.22 Downtown General.
(A) Purpose. Downtown General is a flexible zone,
and it is not limited to the concentrated mix of
uses found in the Downtown Core or Main Street
/ Center. Downtown General includes properties
in the neighborhood that are not categorized as
identifiable centers, yet are more intense in use
than Neighborhood Conservation. There is a
mixture of single-family homes, rowhouses,
apartments, and live/work units. Activities
include a flexible and dynamic range of uses,
from public open spaces to less intense
residential development and businesses. For the
purposes of Chapter 96: Noise Control, the
Downtown General district is a residential zone.

"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 project 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 Zoning and
Development Administrator and City
Engineer.

172.06 Parking Lot Location Standards
The location of all required and nonrequired parking
lots with five (5) 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.
(A) 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.
(B) Permitted locations as a conditional use.
(1) Parking lots located within residential zones
which serve uses in nonresidential zones
may be allowed as a conditional use by the
Planning Commission.
(2) 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(s)—Uses Conditions, Ch. 163.
(C) 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.
(D) 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.

All parking lots and/or parking areas which were in

may continue in a nonconforming state until such time
as the following shall occur:
(A) Rehabilitation. A building permit is granted to
rehabilitate a structure on the property exceeding
50% of the current replacement cost of the
structure. At such time, 50% of the existing
parking lot use area shall be required to be
brought into compliance with the provisions of
this ordinance. This shall continue on a
graduated scale in accordance with the
percentage of rehabilitation cost; and/or
(B) Enlargement or reconstruction. A building permit
is granted to enlarge or reconstruct a structure on
the property exceeding 10% of its existing gross
floor area. At such time 10% of the existing
parking lot and/or parking lot area shall be
brought into compliance with the provisions of
this section. This shall be on a graduated scale
until reaching 100% of the required landscaping;
and/or
(C) New curb cut. A new curb cut permit is granted
for the nonconforming parking lot. At such time
the parking lot and/or parking area shall be
required to be brought into compliance with the
provisions of this ordinance.
