§ 8119-1.8.6. Parking Standards.

Article 8 regulates all off-street parking and loading spaces for motor vehicles and bicycles. Article 8 also includes the parking area design and landscaping requirements as well as regulations related to Ventura County's Transportation Demand and Trip Reduction program. Additionally, the Ventura County Parking and Loading Design Guidelines provides information and assistance in the application of parking regulations.

This section includes parking requirements for land uses not identified in Article 8. It also includes requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Unless specified below, the parking standards from Article 8 shall be applied to development in Old Town Saticoy. In the event that parking standards listed below are not consistent with Article 8, the more stringent of the two (2) requirements shall prevail.

a.

Number of Parking Spaces required.

[2] The number of spaces identified for live/work units are in addition to the number of parking spaces required for the Principal Use.

b.

Allowances for Commercial Parking. Commercial uses within the Town Center (TC) zone may utilize the following options for meeting parking requirements:

1.

Off-site Parking and Off-site Parking Agreements: Apply Sec. 8108-3.3 which allows commercial businesses to utilize an off-site parking lot.

2.

On-Street Parking Offsets: Apply Sec. 8108-4.8 for adjustments allowed to the required number of the vehicle parking spaces and, if applicable, for requirements for a Parking Study or Transportation Demand Management Plan.

3.

Shared Parking Lots: Apply Sec. 8108-4.6, which describes where shared use of parking lots is allowed when two (2) or more land uses on the same or separate sites are able to share the same parking spaces because their parking demands occur at different times.

4.

Joint Parking Agreements: Access easements can be utilized for a reciprocal or joint parking agreement between two (2) adjoining property owners, allowing for a shared use of vehicular parking areas at the rear of contiguous commercial parcels. These agreements do not relieve a developer from providing the minimum number of parking spaces for the use, but they can provide more efficient parking lots (i.e., provide more parking) and can minimize the number of entrances into the parking area. For a definition of Joint Parking Agreements , see Chapter 7 Definitions in the Saticoy Area Plan.

c.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations shall be provided for discretionary development located in the TC, R/MU and IND zones as required by existing Building Code regulations and State law, as amended.
