1. The number of parking spaces provided by any particular use in ground surface parking lots must not exceed the number of parking spaces provided in Table 3.3.300, Maximum Off-Street Vehicle Parking Spaces. Spaces provided on-street, or within the building footprint of structures, such as in rooftop parking, tuck-under parking or under-structure parking, or in multi-level parking above or below surface lots, do not apply toward the maximum number of allowable spaces. Where a fractional number of spaces results, the maximum number of spaces is rounded down to the nearest whole number. This section does not apply to single-unit detached, accessory dwelling units, manufactured dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhomes, live/work townhomes and cottage developments.

2. The following parking maximum for large buildings applies in designated climate-friendly areas or within one-half mile of a frequent transit route (measured as the crow flies from the property line of the development to the edge of right-of-way with the frequent transit route):

1. Location. Vehicle parking is allowed only on approved streets, within garages, carports and other structures, or on driveways or parking lots that have been developed in conformance with this code. Vehicle parking must not be located in a vehicle travel lane (including emergency or fire access lanes). Specific locations for parking are indicated within the individual land use districts for some land uses (e.g., the requirement that parking be located to side or rear of buildings, with access from alleys, for some uses). Off-street parking and maneuvering areas must not be located within the front setbacks except for single-unit dwellings, ADUs, duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes.

2. Screening. Commercial or industrial off-street parking which adjoins a residentially designated district must be effectively screened by a fence and landscaping with a minimum width of 10 feet unless otherwise specified in this code.

3. Availability of Facilities. Owners of off-street parking facilities may post a sign indicating that all parking on the site is available only for residents, customers and/or employees. Signs must conform to the standards in BC Chapter 9.50, Signs.

4. On-Street Parking. On-street parking must follow the established or approved configuration of existing on-street parking, except that angled parking may be allowed for some streets, where permitted by City standards. An on-street parking space is defined as follows:

5. Employee Parking Areas. When a new development with more than 50 parking spaces includes a designated employee parking area, it must provide at least one designated parking space for carpools and/or vanpools.

1. Applicability.

2. Climate Mitigation Actions Requirement. Development must provide one of the following:

1. Applications submitted after March 31, 2023, for new multi-unit residential developments or new mixed-use developments consisting of privately owned commercial space and five or more dwelling units must provide sufficient electrical service capacity, as defined in ORS 455.417, to serve no less than 40 percent of all vehicle parking spaces on a site containing the dwelling units. Townhomes are not included for purposes of determining the applicability of this regulation.

2. New commercial buildings under private ownership must provide sufficient electrical service capacity, as defined in ORS 455.417, to serve no less than 20 percent of all vehicle parking spaces on the site.

3. Fractional numbers derived from a calculation of the vehicle parking spaces must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

1. All off-street parking stalls must be improved to conform to City standards for surfacing, stormwater management and striping, and provide dimensions in accordance with Table 3.3.300.F.1, Parking Stall Dimensions, and Figure 3.3.300.F.1, Parking Area Dimensions.

2. No more than 50 percent of the parking stalls provided on site can be compact spaces.

3. The stopping edge of any curb or wheel stop must be placed no less than two feet from the end of the parking stall. Where a curb or wheel stop is provided, the overhang of a vehicle past the curb or wheel stop may be counted as part of the required parking stall depth, up to a maximum of two feet.

b. A portion of a standard parking stall may be landscaped instead of paved, as follows:

i. The landscaped area may be a maximum of two feet from the stopping edge of a wheel stop or curb, when such protective devices are provided, and may be counted as part of the required parking stall depth, as shown in Figure 3.3.300.F.2.

ii. Landscaping that is part of the parking stall depth must be ground cover plants.

1. When parking is provided on site, accessible parking must be provided for disabled persons, in conformance with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On-site accessible parking facilities must comply with the design requirements of the current building code as adopted by the State of Oregon.

2. If parking is not otherwise provided on site, all developments subject to Site Plan Review in BDC Chapter 4.2, Minimum Development Standards Review, Site Plan Review and Design Review, must provide a minimum of one van-accessible parking stall on site except as follows:
