TOWN OF LEESBURG
TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
Subject: Downtown Parking Ratios and Alternative Parking Provisions
Staff Contact: Brian Boucher, Deputy Director
Susan Berry Hill, Director, Planning and Zoning
Council Action Requested: None at this time as the item is for discussion.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council consider the information and
recommendations presented in the attached report, and to discuss them at the October 23, 2017
work session.
Commission Recommendation: None at this time.
Fiscal Impact: None at this time.
Work Plan Impact: None at this time.
Executive Summary: On May 23, 2017, Town Council approved Resolution 2017-086 to
initiate amendments to the Leesburg Zoning Ordinance for the purpose of revising residential
and non-residential parking ratios in the B-1 zoning district and H-1 overlay district, and to
amend Section 11.4, Alternative Parking Provisions as necessary to assure compatibility with
the proposed parking ratios. Provisions in this section include parking payment in-lieu and the
‘500-foot rule’ whereby no on-site parking is required for non-residential use that is within 500
feet of a public parking garage or surface lot. The resolution also authorized staff to procure
professional services for work on these amendments. The attached report is prepared by
Wells+ Associates and it provides background information and recommmendations for
Council’s consideration. The report will be presented at the Town Council meeting on October
10th and a work session has been scheduled for October 23rd to discuss the recommendations.
Background: Town Council has discussed this topic at meetings on September 13, 2016,
February 27, 2017, April 24, 2017, and May 23, 2017 at which Council has focused on
parking issues and potential solutions in the downtown. At the May 23rd meeting, Council
approved a resolution to direct staff to work with the assistance of a professional consultant
to review parking ratio requirements in the downtown for residential and non-residential uses
and also to consider changes to the Zoning Ordinance Section 11.4, Alternative Parking
Provisions which includes options for reducing the requirements for providing on-site
parking spaces. Staff hired Wells + Associates to research parking ratios and provide
recommendations for updating Leesburg’s parking ratios and Section 11.4. As a part of this

study process, staff has conducted two studies to assess parking supply and parking demand
in the downtown. Regarding parking supply, counts have been taken to quantify all public
parking spaces including garage, surface lot, and on street parking spaces. Residential
parking permit areas have been factored into this parking space count. This study gives the
Town an accurate assessment of available public parking spaces. Staff also conducted a
count of private parking spaces to ascertain an accurate count of spaces. While these spaces
typically cannot be used for public parking, staff is of the opinion that it is a underutilized
resource that Council may wish to include in considerations of possible parking solutions in
the downtown.
A second study was conducted to assess parking demand. Staff reprised the 2015 parking
demand study which assessed parking usage for all public parking facilities (garage, surface
lots and on-street spaces) at various times during the day and days of the week. Staff
conducted this study during the month of September using the same study methodology that
was used in 2015. Results from this study will quantify how parking demand downtown has
changed in the past two years both in terms of location and extent of parking demand.
On October 10th, Wells + Associates and staff will present the study results on supply and
demand for parking downtown; factors that affect parking supply and demand; reseach on
residential and non-residential parking ratios; and recommendations for updated parking
ratios. Staff will present recommendations on Zoning Ordinance Section 11.4 which
includes the parking payment in-lieu provisions and ‘500-foot rule’. Lastly, staff will make
suggestions for future steps to consider including monitoring parking demand downtown and
interim steps to increasing parking supply should Council wish to do so.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION This report presents a review of the current parking requirements for residential and commercial uses in the downtown area of Leesburg, Virginia. The downtown Leesburg study area is shown in Figure 1.1. Specifically, this parking study recommends appropriate updates to the residential and commercial parking ratios in the Town of Leesburg Zoning Ordinance that includes alternative parking provisions within the B‐1 (Downtown) District. Any updates to the Zoning Ordinance are intended to promote economic development in the downtown area and to encourage and incentivize small infill residential development or conversions of existing buildings while still maintaining a Central Business District (CBD) in downtown. The primary goals of this parking review are to: Assure that there is sufficient parking supply to meet demand and not over or
undersupply parking downtown;
Allow flexibility for development and reuse of existing buildings creating a vibrant mix of uses as market conditions may dictate;
Recommend clear regulations that are easy to apply and administer;
Assure that updated parking regulations do not inadvertently result in negative impact to existing neighborhoods that surround the downtown.
The study considers whether existing residential and nonresidential Town required parking ratios can be reduced while ensuring that sufficient parking supply will meet the various parking demands and achieve a relatively good balance of land uses. In addition, the study evaluates the parking payment in lieu option of the Zoning Ordinance, Alternative Parking Provisions (Section 11.4), and the requirement for parking to be provided within 500 feet of a public parking facility.

PARKING INVENTORY Public Parking
Public Parking are those spaces available to the general public, regardless of trip purpose. They include garages, surface lots, and on‐street parking spaces. A parking inventory recently completed by the Town shows that approximately 2,595 public off‐street and on‐street parking spaces are available in the downtown area. The facility type and its capacity are summarized on the following table.
Inventory quadrant maps of downtown parking are shown in Appendix A.
Town Hall Garage is town owned and open to the public at all times. Monday through Friday, the garage is free for the first hour and is $1.00 per hour after that, with a maximum fee of $10.00. An additional hour of parking is free with merchant validation. Parking is free after 7pm during the week, all day on weekends and on state holidays.
The town offers 130 parking spaces for monthly rental. A reserved space is $60/month and an unreserved space is $40/month. Currently, 90 spaces are reserved and 40 spaces are unreserved. A waiting list exists for five (5) reserved spaces and 23 unreserved spaces. Note that a space in a new parking structure is estimated to cost $25,000 per space and at a rate of $60 per month, it would take approximately 35 years to recoup its construction cost.

Liberty Street Lot is town owned and open to the public at all times with no fee, however, overnight parking is prohibited.
Church Street Lot is a temporary town operated lot open to the public. Pay‐to‐Park hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, at $1.50 per hour. Parking is free on weekends, holidays and after 5pm on weekdays. The pay station accepts cash (bills and coins) and major credit cards. Patrons can also pay using the Parkmobile app on smartphones.
Pennington Lot, Semones Lot, and Courts Complex are county owned lots planned for changes with the expansion of the County Courthouse. Parking is used by court visitors and staff during weekdays and is open to the public on evenings and weekends.
County Government Center Garage is county owned and open to the public on nights and weekends. On‐Street Spaces are provided in the core downtown area at a fee of $1.50 per hour, for a maximum of two hours in most locations. Meters are monitored from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. On‐street parking is free after 5pm on weekdays, all day on weekends and on holidays. Payment for on‐street parking meters can be made with coins or using the Parkmobile app on smartphones.
On‐Street Residential Permit Parking (RPP) is established in nine zones within the downtown. Residents in the parking zones may purchase parking permits per vehicle and up to two (2) visitor passes per household annually for $5.00 each. The majority of the RPP zones are located in the northwest and northeast quadrants of the downtown. Each of these zones limit parking from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Weekdays) to permit holders and then are available to all parkers after 5:00 PM. These zones are shown schematically on Figure 2.2 with specific limits illustrated on maps provided in Appendix B.

Figure 2.2 RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING ZONES Private Off‐Street Parking
Private Off‐Street Parking spaces are those spaces available to meet a parcel’s parking requirements for its particular use. In many cases, a privately parked patron will visit another nearby establishment, creating synergy between the various mixes of uses in the downtown. Therefore, knowing the total amount of parking spaces in the downtown provides context and potential opportunities when evaluating the downtown parking supply.
The inventory of nonresidential and church use spaces indicates that there are approximately 2,041 total nonresidential spaces, of which 189 spaces are associated with churches.
The total amount of available parking, public and private, within the B‐1 District is 4,636 spaces as summarized in the table below.

PREVIOUS PARKING STUDIES, INFORMATION, AND DATA Parking Demands and Capacity Desman Associates studied parking in the downtown in 2003, and although the supply of spaces reported has been updated, the parking demands noted provide a critical starting point for reviewing potential trends, understanding that the mix of nonresidential uses has changed over time. The Desman Study collected parking data for four (4) time periods on a Tuesday in the month of August, and included public and private parking occupancies throughout the downtown area.
A 2015 report prepared by the Downtown Leesburg Parking Task Force provided updated information and examined parking occupancies for public parking facilities including on‐street spaces. This data was collected within the core downtown. In addition, 2017 parking occupancy data was recently collected in the same core area. Private parking occupancies were not collected for either year.
The 2015 parking occupancies were recorded for the month of March and twelve days in April of 2015 (April 6 – April 17). The 2017 parking occupancies were recorded for the month of September. Four time periods were examined for the Town garage for weekday conditions to include 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 7:00 PM peaks and for weekend conditions to include 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM peaks. Parking data for on‐street and surface lot spaces were collected for mid‐morning and mid‐afternoon peaks for both weekday and weekends.
The 2015 and 2017 studies show that during the weekday, the mid‐day (mid‐morning and/or mid‐afternoon) time periods are 60% to 64% occupied, respectively. For the weekend, the 2015 data showed an after‐noon peak (2:00 PM) of 44% while the 2017 data shows a peak in the early evening (6:00 PM) of 62%. The data for 2015 and 2017 also show a Friday peak usage

for “First Fridays” which occurs on the first Friday of each month. Those peaks occur in the evening (7:00 PM) with the 2015 and 2017 data showing a 60% and 70% peaks, respectively. The parking occupancy data for 2015 and 2017 are summarized in Table 2.3 and presented in Appendix C.
These studies suggest an increase in parking usage and occupancy for first Friday activities (60% to 70%) and for the weekend (44% to 62%) time periods. However, when compared to other Friday occupancies, the 2015 data had a larger difference in increased usage of spaces (+180 spaces for 2015 vs. +100 spaces for 2017) when compared to the 2017 data. These increases are likely attributed to new uses in the town core but can vary based on facility location. However, the data shows that the percent of occupied spaces compared to the number of available spaces rarely exceeded 70%. To identify the Town of Leesburg’s effective parking demand, the occupancies shown would be upwardly adjusted by 5 to 10% to account for turn‐over of spaces and circulation. Parking facilities are generally considered to be “at capacity” when the occupancy reaches 85 to 90 percent of the available parking supply. This is commonly referred to as the “practical capacity” of the facility. The number of spaces available to reach practical capacity (at 90% occupancy) is shown in Table 2.3. Observed Parking Climate in Downtown Although data suggests a surplus of available parking in the downtown core for the majority of the time periods, shoppers, patrons, and residents may disagree. As summarized in Desman Associates’ parking study, “the majority of the public parking is not located where parkers wish to park, making parking in downtown Leesburg appear inconvenient…” Customers, employees, and visitors want to park as close as possible to their destinations. This behavior is common and

not unique to Leesburg. Generally, a comfortable and adequate distance for short trips is less than 800 feet and for medium trips less than 1200 feet.
Nevertheless, a perceived parking issue can be just as challenging as a true parking shortage to businesses, employers, and residents within a certain area. The June 2015, Parking Task Force reported the greatest growing demand for parking was located in the southeast quadrant of town (east of S. King Street and south of East Loudoun Street), in the Market Station, South Street, and Church Street areas. As a result, the Zoning Ordinance was revised to exclude the Loudoun County Government Center in the 500 feet of a Municipal Parking Facility whereby no parking spaces would have been required.
Time‐of‐day and land use greatly impact the parking demands at these private off‐street parking lots. Parking demand for office uses will typically peak during the mid‐morning and mid‐afternoon hours, but parking for retail and restaurants normally peak between 5:00 – 9:00 PM.
PARKING RATIOS AND ALTERNATIVE PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN THE B‐1 DISTRICT Current Park Ratios
A review of Section 11.3 of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance was completed for residential and nonresidential (commercial) parking requirements in the B‐1 District. Table 2.4 below summarizes select parking ratios, as obtained from Article 11.
Alternative Parking Requirements
The Alternative Parking Provisions section (Section 11.4) was also reviewed, specifically the Payments in‐Lieu provision (Section 11.4.3) and the Modified Requirements in the Downtown H‐1 Overlay District provision (Section 11.4.4). The proposed Town Zoning Ordinance text changes are shown in Appendix D.
The Payments in‐Lieu section of the Town Code allows owners and developers of land in the H‐ 1 Overlay District to make a one‐time payment to the Town’s parking fund in lieu of providing a portion or all required off‐street parking when making a change in use, expansion of an existing use, and/or new construction. The current 2017 rate per space is $6,515.00. The fund is to be used to add additional public parking in the downtown. Currently, the pay in‐lieu option is not available for residential uses except properties located within the limits bounded by Liberty Street, Church Street, South Street, and North Street.
Any existing or rehabilitated nonresidential building in the B‐1 District is not required to provide off‐street parking if the property is located within 500 feet of an entrance to a public parking facility. However, the County Government Center Garage is excluded since public parking is not allowed during business hours. For nonresidential buildings exceeding the 500‐foot threshold, one half (50%) of the parking spaces required in Section 11.3 would need to be provided,

however, the Land Development Official (LDO) may authorize further reductions when considering a reduction request.
Building additions, redevelopment, and development of vacant land for nonresidential uses would need to provide and/or replace parking spaces, as required in Section 11.3, along with other requirements. The LDO may authorize parking reductions in a similar manner as above for building additions.

SECTION 3 RESEARCH AND BEST PRACTICES More and more communities are rethinking how parking requirements are determined and are attempting to be more proactive to address parking demands, market trends and vehicle use. These communities are now re‐evaluating parking ratios developed decades ago and looking at how other factors may impact the supply and demand of parking. These factors include availability of transit service, walkability and bikeability of the area, changing behaviors in automobile ownership, ride‐sharing services (i.e. Uber, Lyft, Autonomous Vehicles [future], etc.), shopping, and specialty restaurant patronage. Similar to the Town of Leesburg, the Town of Vienna, the City of Alexandria, and Fairfax County are currently, or have recently, reviewed their parking requirements and as appropriate, have adjusted their zoning ordinances to fit their unique parking conditions. This section will examine specific parking factors impacting Downtown Leesburg; parking requirements of other jurisdictions that are of similar size and character; parking ratios of similar uses, as assembled by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Parking Generation, 4th Edition; and best practices noted for residential and nonresidential parking requirements from published articles and studies. INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND BEST PRACTICES A review of 13 other jurisdictions’ parking requirements, the majority of which (9) are located within the Commonwealth of Virginia (9), was prepared for three major categories (Office, Residential, Restaurant/Retail) to better understand the current parking environment and its relationship with both residential and nonresidential land uses. The localities were chosen for apparent similarities to Leesburg, given their historic downtown areas and generally low to moderate transit service. Four (4) out‐of‐state jurisdictions’ parking requirements were also reviewed based on research suggesting similar changes (i.e. economic development and infill development) to their downtown areas. In addition, parking demand data from ITE, which represents actual parking information for the three major uses, and planning suggested parking requirements for SmartCode, Version 9.2 were reviewed. SmartCode is a model integrated development code that incorporates Smart Growth and New Urbanism principals, Transect‐based planning, and design provisions. The SmartCode was developed by Duany Plater‐Zyberk & Company (DPZ), which identifies a T1 area as rural and a T6 area as an urban, central business district (CBD) similar to Washington, DC, Arlington, Virginia and Alexandria, Virginia. The Town of Leesburg would generally fall in the T4 – General Urban and T5 – Urban Center zones. Appendix E includes information regarding SmartCode. Table 3.1 below summarizes parking rates by jurisdiction, ITE’s Parking Generation, and SmartCode.

Residential ‐ Commercial Parking Ratios and Alternative Parking Provisions in the B‐1 District
October 5, 2017
A review of the parking rates shown in Table 3.1 indicates the following: Office rates range from 1.7 to 2.2 per 1,000 SF for Manassas, Alexandria and Charlottesville to 3.0 to 3.3 for other jurisdictions. The City of McKinney, Texas Town Center shows off‐street parking is not required to be provided. ITE indicates than an average parking demand of 2.47 spaces per 1,000 SF and the 85th percentile of 3.13 spaces per 1,000 SF would be appropriate while the SmartCode suggests 2.0 spaces per 1,000 would be appropriate in a transect similar to the Town of Leesburg (T4/T5). Residential rates are delineated by Multi‐family and Single‐family (detached and attached). For Multi‐family rates the range is wide, with 1.0 to 1.5 spaces generally required per single bedroom unit (depending of unit size), and 2.0 to 2.5 spaces for two (2) bedroom units. ITE indicates 1.2 to 1.61 spaces per unit in an urban environment while the SmartCode suggests 1.0 space per dwelling unit in the T4/T5 transect area. Restaurant/Retail rates range is also wide, with 4.0 to 14.0 spaces per 1,000 SF for restaurants and/or by seat, inside and outside. For retail uses, 3.0 to 5.6 spaces per 1,000 SF is required, depending on the size and location of the retail space (i.e. ground floor or upper floors). ITE rates for restaurants are generally higher than the jurisdictions require and depend on type of restaurant (i.e. Quality, High Turnover, and Fast Food). The SmartCode does not include a parking rate for restaurants, but suggests 3.0 spaces per 1,000 SF for retail. The rate reflects an urban, mixed use transect (T4/T5). As one can conclude, industry standards and zoning requirements vary widely and are typically applied as a “minimum” condition. Some would say that minimum parking requirements are generally designed to satisfy peak demand for free parking (EPA 1999, Shoup 2002). The parking requirements are not designed to accurately reflect the need for parking, nor are they intended to optimize land usage (Weant 1990). The minimum parking requirement can create an oversupply of parking spaces, and therefore a balance between an oversupply and undersupply of parking must be found. The balance is typically found when enough parking spaces are provided to accommodate recurrent peak‐parking demands. Typically, a more careful consideration of this balance is applied in Central Business Districts (CBD) or Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas such that transit ridership is not undercut by an oversupply of spaces. There is no universal standard for parking demand (ULI 1993) as they vary among and within municipalities for a variety of reasons, including a municipality’s development patterns, financial resources, investment climate, street traffic, and mass transit use (Weant 1990). In cities with robust transit, maximum parking standards, along with Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures help to discourage car ownership and thus increase transit oriented development and lower parking rates. Many TDM measures include Pay in‐lieu parking, shared parking, centralized parking, parking pricing, and, in the suburbs, people tend to shift from vehicles to ridesharing, telecommuting, etc.

Residential ‐ Commercial Parking Ratios and Alternative Parking Provisions in the B‐1 District
October 5, 2017
Shared parking can be an important tool to “right sizing” parking supply to parking demand, and protecting nearby residential parking from overflow by creating additional parking options (City of Falls Church, Shared Parking Review ‐ 2016). A shared parking approach is typically applied to a single mixed‐use project of moderate size. However, the City of Falls Church proposed to work with commercial property owners that typically have maximum daytime parking demands and request them to open those same spaces for reuse during evenings, weekends, and special events. Parking management techniques would be used to regulate the spaces and potentially generate revenue. DOWNTOWN LEESBURG SPECIFIC FACTORS Both the Desman Associates study and Leesburg Downtown Parking Task Force’s “Report of Findings and Recommendations,” provide a substantial amount of background information regarding the parking climate of downtown Leesburg, but primarily focused on parking management. The task force did recommend elimination of the 500‐foot waiver for future properties that would have counted the County garage as meeting their off‐street parking requirement and to only keep the Town’s parking Payment In‐lieu Provision if Council commits to a Capital Improvement Plan. Many of the measures recommended by the task force have been adopted. Downtown Leesburg specific factors that may be considered with parking changes include:
1) There is a perceived shortage of existing parking, making parking seem inconvenient to patrons, employees, and visitors.
2) Some have indicated existing parking requirements as defined in the zoning ordinance hinder downtown redevelopment, rehabilitation, and expansion efforts. That is, it is difficult to provide off‐street parking for residential uses and provide viable, economically successful, infill projects (in particular, multi‐family development), as the commercial vacancies have been reported as high for office space.
3) Review of any parking pressures and shortages by time‐of‐day. As part of any new application within the downtown, a review of parking occupancies should be considered to access “around the block” constraints for residential uses.
4) The downtown is serviced by Loudoun County and Virginia Regional Transit. Currently, the following five bus routes serve the downtown:
Route 55 ‐ Exeter‐Tuscarora,
Route 56 ‐ Rust Library‐Ida Lee‐County Complex,
Route 57 ‐ Village at Leesburg‐Wegman’s,
Route 7O ‐ 7 to 7 on 7 Leesburg‐Sterling, and
Route 40 (Virginia Regional Transit) ‐ Purcellville Connector.
18
Residential ‐ Commercial Parking Ratios and Alternative Parking Provisions in the B‐1 District
October 5, 2017
The current routes and stops are shown on Figure 3.1. With the extension of Metrorail’s Silver Line, Loudoun County’s Master Transit Plan includes a bus line from The Town of Leesburg to the Ashburn Metro Station via Harrison Street near Catoctin Circle. Coordination with Loudoun County Transit to extend the service to the Harrison Street Transit Center at the County Government Center is recommended to provide a strong transit connection for the downtown area.
5) Private ridesharing is provided by Uber, Lyft, taxi service, carpools, etc., the extent of which is not yet known. Zipcar or other carsharing services are not providing services to the town, although Enterprise and Hertz have facilities in town to rent a vehicle for a short period. Carsharing services like Zipcar are trending downward, as ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are filling the need for those users with no vehicle ownership or shorter trips. However, census data for the downtown generally indicate that renters, on average, have car ownership of approximately 1.5 vehicles per dwelling unit and 2.2 vehicles per dwelling unit for owner occupied residents. Given the census data, it remains to be seen the effect of ridesharing for Leesburg beyond its current usage. In any case, the periodic data collection of parking occupancy would “build‐in” any of the effects resulting from an increase of ridesharing.
6) The Town typically has 11 events a year that close some downtown streets for at least a portion of the day. The road closures do not displace a significant amount of on‐street parking, and when needed the Town produces maps for alternative parking locations. First Fridays has become popular, and the September 2017, parking count data showed that an increase in parking usage occurred during the evening of September 1st, with a garage occupancy of 99%, which is full. However, occupancy from other surface lots for the same day and time period totaled only 53%. In addition, the Government Center parking garage would be available for evening parking as well, although not counted to confirm spaces are available. This suggests that parking management measures could spread demand using dynamic displays of the available parking supply and/or available space location apps may be an effective means to reduce circulating traffic searching for a parking space.
7) Permit parking for the garage potentially reduces the availability of spaces when those
spaces are not in use, in particular, reserved spaces. The spaces are available and open for use weekday evenings (after 6:00 PM) and any time during the week ends.
8) The protocol for snow removal would not necessarily be a consideration for parking rate
changes in the downtown.

SECTION 4 DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE PARKING RATIOS FOR DOWNTOWN Required and provided parking rates in urban areas is trending downward as a growing understanding of excess parking promotes: urban sprawl, increased traffic congestion and increased housing cost for residential uses, in particular. This trend is more apparent in cities with robust transit systems, but is also occurring in mixed use, Town Center developments. The Town of Leesburg and other similar historic towns are the original “Town Centers”, providing a mix of uses with synergy occurring across many of those uses. The mix of uses also allows a single parking space to be used by many patrons at different times. This shared parking approach is already built into the downtown’s character for commercial uses. However, given that car ownership in downtown Leesburg for housing rental units (1.5 vehicles) and ownership units (2.2 vehicles) are still fairly high, it remains to be seen whether the town will trend towards reduced parking demands. In modern shared parking arrangements, residential parking in new Town Center developments are typically not shared but may be reduced through transit and synergy. To this point, towns and cities are establishing lower minimums for residential uses, with a few jurisdictions eliminating the minimum require while other jurisdictions establishing maximum parking rates. Establishing a lower minimum for residential parking would require a reduction in vehicle ownership through better travel choices which is anticipated to occur. By lowering the rate, the trend would be encouraged, but the market will still dictate the spaces required by providing off‐street spaces. The issue becomes publicly providing parking for new residential developments if it is not provided off‐street. Without designated parking, the on‐street spaces would be used for residential parking, potentially eliminating or reducing the use of those spaces for commercial during the day. In addition, if more spaces are used on‐street by new residents, existing resident spaces can be affected. In the end, the “right sizing” of parking in the downtown is an iterative process and should be reviewed often. As noted above, this study considers whether existing residential and nonresidential parking ratios can be reduced while still assuring that sufficient parking supply will meet the various parking demands and achieve a relatively good balance of land uses. In addition, the study evaluates the parking payment in lieu option of the Zoning Ordinance – Alternative Parking Provisions and the 500‐foot distance of a public parking facility. Based on a review of presented data, each of these items are discussed with specific recommendations provided in the following sections.
21
Residential ‐ Commercial Parking Ratios and Alternative Parking Provisions in the B‐1 District
October 5, 2017
PROPOSED PARKING RATIOS Nonresidential Parking Rates are proposed to be reduced in downtown based on ITE Parking Generation, other historic jurisdictions, and SmartCode data for urban areas. Specifically, Office rates at 2.0 to 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet would be appropriate. The current restaurant rates for Sit‐Down (6.7 space/1,000 SF plus 1 space/4 outside seats) and Fast Food (10.0 space/1,000 SF plus 1.0 space/4 outside seats) are appropriate as they are already consistent with or below rates reviewed. The Carryout rate of 13.3 space/1,000 SF is not recommended to be reduced as it is expected that such a service, if located in the downtown, would likely be located such that the Modified Requirements in the Downtown H‐1 Overlay District (Section 11.4.4) would be utilized. The General Retail rate is proposed to be reduced to 3.0 space/1,000 SF based on a review of the parking information. Residential Parking Rates are proposed to be reduced in the downtown to 1.0 space per residential unit for the smaller sized multifamily dwelling units (2.0 BR or Less) based on ITE Parking Generation, other historic jurisdictions, and SmartCode data for urban areas. Larger multifamily units, and single family (Detached and Attached) units would remain as provided in the Zoning Ordinance. A provision is proposed with this change in that these spaces, or a portion of them, may be provided on‐street, given that those spaces are available as determined by a parking occupancy study of on‐street spaces. The study would be scoped with Town staff, the limits of which would be determined based on the project size. The parking studies would be a measure to ensure sufficient parking supply will meet the various parking demands in downtown as each development occurs. In addition, it is recommended that the Town collect parking occupancies at least once a year for a typical weekday and weekend time periods. The off‐site, on‐street required spaces may be provided by payment in lieu minus the number of on‐street spaces along the frontage. The spaces that front the parcel would have been used by that use and therefore should not be part of the payment in lieu. Table 4.1 summarizes the current and proposed parking rates for the primary uses reviewed. These rates would only apply to the downtown H‐1 Overlay and B‐1 District. Payment In‐Lieu Provision is recommended to remain in place and although the current amount ($6,515) does not support the full cost of providing a structured space ($25,000 or more), the fund does provide resources to add spaces in the downtown. A good example is the temporary spaces located in the Church Street Lot. At the very least, the garage fund over time could be used to seed funding for new parking supply. Revenues from monthly leasing of public spaces should also be added to the garage fund minus any operational and administrative costs.

Zoning Ordinance Changes are anticipated for Section 11.3, Number of Parking Spaces Required, to include new rates for use in the downtown. The reduced parking rates could be added to Section 11.4, Alternative Parking Provisions, if more desirable. Changes anticipated for the latter section are to include Sec. 11.4.1A.2, which adjusts the 500 and 300‐foot walking distances for nonresidential and residential uses that can be authorized by the Planning Commission, respectively, to a common 1,000‐foot distance. In addition, Sec. 11.4.4A and 11.4.4B of the Modified Requirements in the Downtown H‐1 Overlay District is also proposed to be modified to 1,000 feet. The 1,000‐foot walking distance is an average of the generally acceptable walking distance for short trips (less than 800 feet) for uses such as grocery stores, professional services, residential, etc. and medium trips (about 1,200 feet) for uses such as general retail, restaurants, employment, churches, etc. 1 In addition, Loudoun County uses 1,000 feet for its walking distance to bus stops when reductions in trips is sought by development use of transit facilities. The proposed distance change would increase the number of parcels that can utilize the Alternative Parking Provision and would potentially incentivize them for development and/or redevelopment. The relative increase in area from a 500 foot to 1,000‐foot radius is shown on Figure 4.1. It should be noted that in both figures, the Church Street and Semones lots were excluded because the Church Street lot is temporary and the Semones lot is primarily used for handicap spaces. Draft changes to the Zoning Ordinance are provided in Appendix D.

SECTION 5: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This report presents a review of the current parking requirements for residential and nonresidential uses in downtown Leesburg, Virginia. The primary purpose of the review was to encourage and incentivize infill residential and nonresidential development or conversions of existing buildings in balance with the character of the Central Business District (B‐1 District). A summary of the conclusions is as follows: The Town of Leesburg Downtown has approximately 2,595 total public parking spaces,
1,833 off‐street spaces and 762 on‐street spaces. An additional 2,041 private spaces add to the downtown parking inventory, resulting in a total of 4,636 spaces. Additional private parking spaces that could be added to the public parking inventory may help defer the need to build additional parking supply.
Cumulative parking demands for the core downtown, as of September 2017, indicate sufficient parking is available to meet the demands for the majority of the various peak periods. Parking demands of 85% to 95% over many time periods would provide an efficient and cost effective public parking supply approach but will require parking management techniques to fully utilize those spaces.
Higher parking demands exist at the Town garage (99%) during town events such as First
Fridays with overall occupancies at 70%. Additional parking supply should be considered when cumulative demands recur frequently enough to justify providing those spaces.
Current parking ratios reflect suburban parking rates and are similar to other jurisdictions
with low to moderate transit service. Urban parking requirements are lower which acknowledges built‐in shared parking and synergy between uses resulting in lower parking requirements. The lower rates are reaffirmed with expected lower vehicle ownership, enhance ridesharing (Uber, Lyft, future AV, etc.) and transit service to the Silver Line Metro extension. Therefore, lower parking rates for select uses are justified for downtown Leesburg.
Parking in the downtown is dynamic and the “right sizing” of parking is an iterative process
that should be reviewed often. To ensure new projects do not impact existing uses, localized parking studies are proposed to identify opportunities and constraints.
The parking Payment In‐Lieu Provision is a critical element to downtown parking as the fund
provides resources to add parking spaces and provides an option for infill development to occur in a practical way. Revenues from monthly leasing of public spaces in the Town garage should also be added to the garage fund.
Changes to the walkshed distances (500 feet to 1,000 feet) from a municipal parking facility,
increases the number of parcels available for infill development and conversions.

Residential ‐ Commercial Parking Ratios and Alternative Parking Provisions in the B‐1 District
October 5, 2017
The following Zoning Ordinance and other parking recommendations are provided for Downtown Leesburg; 1. Reduce nonresidential and residential parking rates for office, retail, and multifamily
residential uses. The office rate in the downtown is recommended at 2.0 to 2.5 spaces per 1,000 SF, 3.0 to 3.5 spaces per 1,000 SF for retail, and 1.0 parking space per multifamily dwelling unit of 2.0 bedrooms or less.
2. Change the “Modified Requirements in the Downtown H‐1 Overlay District” distances from 500 feet to 1,000 feet to increase the number of parcels that can utilize the Alternative Parking Provision.
3. Retain the Payment In‐Lieu Provision at the current rate with escalation cost applied per
year to promote and provide additional public parking resources downtown.
4. Add parking supply available to the public through private‐public arrangements to accommodate evening and event hourly parking demands in conjunction with parking management techniques to spread event peak hour parking demands by facility.
5. Review “around the block”, on‐street parking occupancies for infill and/or reuse projects,

Article 11 | | Parking, Loading and Pedestrian Access
Sec. 11.1 | General
Sec. 11.1 General
11.1.1 Purpose and Intent The purpose of these regulations is to ensure the provision of adequate pedestrian circulation facilities and off-street parking and loading areas. It is further the intent of these regulations to avoid undue congestion on public streets; to protect the level of service and capacity of existing streets; to avoid unnecessary conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles; to preserve and enhance the H-1 Overlay District; and to promote the general health, safety and public welfare.
11.1.2 Applicability These off-street parking and loading regulations of this article shall apply to all parking and loading areas, including driveways for single-family and duplex dwellings, established within the Town of Leesburg following February 25, 2003.
11.1.3 Procedures: Site Plan or Subdivision Requirement An application for site plan or subdivision plat approval, as appropriate, shall be required prior to the construction of any new or expanded off-street parking and loading facilities for all uses other than single-family detached and duplex dwellings, pursuant to the procedures established in Section 13-64 of the Leesburg Subdivision and Land Development Regulations. Any plans for re-striping or modifying the number of parking or loading spaces shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator upon the submittal of a parking lot plan which complies with all applicable ordinance requirements.
11.1.4 Permanence of Requirements No owner or operator of any structure or use shall discontinue, dispense with or cause a reduction in pedestrian access or in the number of required off-street parking or load spaces without establishing alternative vehicular parking and/or loading facilities which meet the requirements of this article. Any structure or use which is altered or expanded in a manner which would warrant the provision of additional off-street parking or loading facilities shall provide such facilities in compliance with this article prior to occupancy of the altered or expanded portion of the use. If, as a result of amendments to this Zoning Ordinance regarding the number and/or size of parking or loading spaces, an existing use is determined to have an excess number of spaces, such space may be removed upon approval of a revised site plan.
Sec. 11.2 Pedestrian Access
11.2.1 Purpose The pedestrian access standards of this section pertain to a development’s internal pedestrian circulation system. The section encourages a safe, attractive, and usable pedestrian circulation system internal to all developments. The purpose of the section is to ensure a direct pedestrian connection between the street and buildings on the site and between buildings and other activities within the site. In addition, it provides for connections between adjacent sites, where feasible.
11.2.2 Connections
A. Connection to street. The internal pedestrian circulation system must connect all adjacent streets and sidewalks to the main entrance.
D-2
Town of Leesburg, Virginia Zoning Ordinance (January, 2016) 11-3
Article 11 | | Parking, Loading and Pedestrian AccessSec. 11.3 | Number of Parking Spaces Required
B. Internal connections. The internal pedestrian circulation system must connect
all buildings on the site, and provide connections to other areas of the site, such as parking areas, bicycle parking, recreational areas, common open space areas, and all pedestrian amenities.
11.2.3 Materials
A. The internal pedestrian circulation system must be hard-surfaced and shall have an unobstructed width of at least four (4) feet wide.
B. Where the system crosses driveways, parking areas, and loading areas, the system must be clearly identifiable through the use of elevation changes, a different paving material, texture change, or other similar method. Striping does not meet this requirement.
C. Where the system is parallel and adjacent to a vehicle travel lane, the system must be a raised path or be separated from the vehicle travel lane by a raised curb, bollards, landscaping or other physical barrier. If a raised path is used, the ends of the raised portions must be equipped with curb ramps.
11.2.4 Lighting The on-site pedestrian circulation system must be lighted to a level where the system can be used at night by employees, residents and customers.
Sec. 11.3 Number of Parking Spaces Required
All uses shall be subject to the minimum off-street parking requirements established in this section unless modified parking standards are included as a proffer or as a condition of the approval of a special exception or conditionally permitted use, or otherwise modified by provisions of this Zoning Ordinance. Pursuant to the process outlined in Section 3.18 of this ordinance, these parking requirements may be modified by the Town Council.

parking areas for uses within nonresidential zoning districts, and anywhere within the H-1 Overlay District, and may authorize valet parking for nonresidential uses in the R-HD and B-1 Districts if the Planning Commission determines that there are practical difficulties in satisfying the parking requirements on-site and/or that the public safety or convenience would be better served by an off-site location. If the Planning Commission authorizes the use of off-site parking, the following conditions shall apply:
D-7
Town of Leesburg, Virginia Zoning Ordinance (January, 2016) 11-8
Article 11 | | Parking, Loading and Pedestrian AccessSec. 11.4 | Alternative Parking Provisions
1. The owner of a site utilizing an off-site parking area to satisfy on-site parking
requirements shall deliver evidence satisfactory to the Town of the owner’s right to use the off-site parking area by license, deed, easement, or by long- term lease which has a term equal to or exceeding the projected life of the facility to which the parking is appurtenant and available for use. Such evidence shall be recorded at the owner’s expense in the land records of Loudoun County, Virginia. In addition, the owners of the site and the off-site parking area shall be bound by recorded covenants requiring the owners and all subsequent owners, heirs, or assigns, to maintain the required number of off-street parking spaces during the existence of the use to which the parking is appurtenant. Where a parking right is created under this section it shall not be subject to divestment except with the prior approval of the Town.
2. Pedestrian access shall be available within a walking distance of 500 1,000 feet for nonresidential uses and 300 feet for residential uses, measured from the nearest point of the building lot to an entrance to the parking area, except that where valet parking is authorized, such off-site parking may be located anywhere within the R-HD and B-1 Districts.
3. Such separated parking areas shall be usable without causing unreasonable traffic congestion, detriment to any residential neighborhood, or hazard to pedestrians.
B. Valet Parking. In addition to other conditions that apply to off-site parking, valet
parking requires (a) that vehicles are parked by a person other than the owner or operator; (b) that the vehicles so served are parked or stored in an off-street parking facility; (c) prior to cessation of valet parking, the operator must provide alternate parking in accordance with this Zoning Ordinance; and (d) no valet parking operation which involves the pick-up, delivery, stacking, storing or parking of motor vehicles by a valet or parking attendant on, to or from any public right-of-way shall be permitted.
11.4.2 Shared Parking (Joint Use) Required off-street parking spaces may be provided cooperatively for two or more nonresidential uses, subject to the approval by the Land Development Official (LDO) of appropriate legal instruments to ensure the permanent availability of off-street parking for all such uses. The amount of parking provided for all such nonresidential uses shall equal the sum of the amounts of parking required for each of the respective uses; provided, however, the LDO may authorize a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces when the LDO makes a determination that two or more uses can be adequately served by the same parking spaces by reason of the characteristics of the land uses and the hours of operation. The LDO is also authorized to require restrictions on the use and hours of operation of any uses that share parking spaces.
11.4.3 Payments In-Lieu Rather than providing the required off-street parking on-site due to a change of use, expansion of an existing use or new construction, developers of land within the H-1 Overlay District may provide a portion or all of such parking by means of a payment to the town's parking fund. Such payment shall be based on a one-time fee per parking space, as established from time to time by resolution of the Town Council. Any off-street parking satisfied in this matter shall run with the land, and any subsequent change in use that requires more off-street parking shall require subsequent action to satisfy additional parking

Town of Leesburg, Virginia Zoning Ordinance (January, 2016) 11-9
Article 11 | | Parking, Loading and Pedestrian AccessSec. 11.4 | Alternative Parking Provisions
requirements. No refund of such payment shall be made when there is a change of use to require less parking. Such payment shall be made to the town in one lump sum prior to the issuance of a zoning permit; however, this payment shall not guarantee the availability of parking for the fee-paying development. Funds derived from such payment shall be deposited by the town in a special parking fund and shall be used for acquiring and developing off-street parking facilities within the H-1 Overlay District. NOTE: This option is not available for residential uses or structures except as provided below.
A. On lots of record existing as of (February 14, 2012) measuring 4,000 square feet
or less, situated between Liberty Street and Church Street and between South Street and North Street a portion or all required parking for residential uses may be provided by payment in lieu in accordance with this section.
B. On lots outside the limits in A. above, a portion or all required parking for residential uses may be provided by payment in lieu in accordance with this section and only permitted upon examination by the Land Development Official as to the availability of parking within the limits of the project as determined by a parking study. The parking study limits to be scoped by the LDO, or designee, and completed as part of the project submission materials.
11.4.4 Modified Requirements in the Downtown H-1 Overlay District
A. Building within 500 1,000 feet of Municipal Parking Facility. Where an existing building or structure is used or rehabilitated for any nonresidential use in the B-1 District, no parking spaces shall be required for any such building or structure within 500 1,000 feet of a municipal parking facility, measured from the nearest point of the building lot to an entrance to the municipal parking facility and only permitted upon examination by the Land Development Official as to the availability of parking within the limits of the project. The LDO may require the applicant to conduct a parking study to assist with the examination by identifying the area parking demands. For purposes of this article a municipal parking facility is defined as any parking facility owned and maintained by the Town of Leesburg or Loudoun County, excluding the Loudoun County Government Center parking garage.
B. Building more than 500 1,000 feet from Municipal Parking Facility. For buildings or structures used or rehabilitated for any nonresidential use in the B-1 Districts that are more than 500 1,000 feet from a municipal parking lot, one-half (50%) of the parking spaces required by Sec. 11.3 must be provided. The Land Development Official may authorize in writing a further reduction of required on-site parking of up to one hundred percent (100%) of the spaces required by Sec. 11.3 when deemed appropriate and necessary to facilitate the rehabilitation, reuse or expansion of an existing structure in the downtown H-1 Overlay District. The Land Development Official shall examine the nature of the proposed business or building addition and information regarding peak parking hours for the use when considering a reduction request. The LDO may require the applicant to conduct a parking study to assist with the examination by identifying the area parking demands.
C. Building Addition. Where an addition is made to an existing building or structure in the B-1 District for any nonresidential use, off-street parking spaces required by Sec. 11.3 must be provided in full for the addition area unless modified by the Land Development Official as provided above. If the building expansion removes area used for existing parking on the site, the parking spaces eliminated thereby must be provided for in full, either through relocation, or as provided under Sec.

11.4.5 Shared Parking (Mixed Use) Required off-street parking spaces may be provided cooperatively for two or more uses within a mixed use development in accordance with the Time of Day Factors provided below. Use of shared parking reductions are subject to the determination by the Land Development Official (LDO) that two or more uses can be adequately served by the same parking spaces by reason of the characteristics of the land uses and the hours of operation. The LDO shall make a determination regarding any such proposed reduction in the number of required parking spaces. LDO is also authorized to require restrictions on the use and hours of operation of any uses that share parking spaces. Any shared parking reductions shall also be subject to the approval by the LDO of appropriate legal instruments to ensure the permanent availability of off-street parking for all uses.
A. Shared Use Time of Day Factors: In order to determine the minimum required
parking spaces in a mixed use development, apply the Time of Day factors provided below to the minimum required parking spaces as provided by Section 11.3 to each land use type in the mixed use development, for example,

Weekdays
In the example above the time of day factors reduce the total number of required spaces by 90 from the minimum required per Section 11.3. The same calculation shall be repeated for each of the time periods found in the weekday and weekend tables below to determine the overall adjusted total number of spaces required by the development.

Sec. 11.5 Use of Parking and Loading Areas
11.5.1 Use of Parking and Loading Facilities, Generally Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be used solely for the parking of vehicles in operating condition by the patrons, occupants or employees of the use to which such facilities are accessory. No motor vehicle repair work, except emergency service, shall be permitted in association with off-street parking and loading facilities. The storage of commercial vehicles or merchandise or the sale of vehicles shall be prohibited in a required off-street parking or loading area, except as specifically authorized in this Zoning Ordinance.
11.5.2 Trucks Parked in Residential Areas Parking facilities accessory to residential uses shall be used for the parking of passenger vehicles, recreational vehicles, horse trailers or trucks which are owned by the occupants of the dwelling or their guests.
One (1) commercial vehicle may be stored on the premises whether privately owned or business provided, for the resident’s use for commuting and/or work purposes. Such vehicle cannot exceed a one (1) ton hauling capacity. This section shall not apply to commercial vehicles while in the performance of providing delivery or service on the premises.
Dump trucks and vehicles designed to haul garbage, trash, refuse or waste of any type and for the towing and recovery of vehicles are strictly prohibited to be parked on residential properties.
11.5.3 Vehicle Sales and Display Areas All areas used for the display of vehicles for the purposes of sale or rental shall comply with the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance regarding setback and pavement requirements.
Sec. 11.6 Parking and Loading Area Design Standards
All proposed off-street parking and loading facilities shall comply with the requirements of this section.
11.6.1 General
A. Overall Internal Circulation Pattern. All off-street parking and loading facilities shall be designed and constructed in a manner so as to provide for adequate circulation within the site and safe and convenient access onto adjoining streets. Among factors to be considered during the review of parking and loading areas shall be the following: number and location of entrances and travel aisles, need for acceleration, deceleration and turning lanes, and other traffic control improvements, the general arrangement and delineation of parking and loading
D-12
Town of Leesburg, Virginia Zoning Ordinance (January, 2016) 11-13
Article 11 | | Parking, Loading and Pedestrian Access Sec. 11.6 | Parking and Loading Area Design Standards
areas, the quality and quantity of landscaping provided; the means of access to buildings for fire fighting equipment and emergency vehicles, and the needs of the handicapped.
B. Entrances and Exits. Driveway entrances shall be designed to accommodate all vehicle types having occasion to enter the site, including delivery vehicles. There should be not more than one entrance and exit or one combined entrance and exit along any street frontage unless deemed necessary by the Land Development Official in order to alleviate traffic congestion and interference along such street. The width of all entrances and exits to off-street parking and loading areas shall comply with the requirements of the Design and Construction Standards Manual, except that the Land Development Official may authorize a narrower driveway entrance/exit width for parking and loading areas within the H- 1 Overlay, Old and Historic District when:
1. The Director of Plan Review verifies in writing that a narrower driveway entrance/exit is acceptable based on adequate sight distance and vehicle turning movement requirements in the particular case; and/or
2. Sufficient turning space is provided so that vehicles need not back into a public street.
C. Relationship of Off-Street Parking and Loading Areas to Public Rights-of-
Way. In no event shall parking or loading areas be provided in a manner that requires vehicles to back out into the public rights-of-way or that requires vehicles to enter or exit a site in a manner which would require them to make an unlawful maneuver within the public right-of-way. This requirement does not apply to areas consisting of driveways serving single-family detached or duplex dwellings, although direct access onto arterial roadways is discouraged.
D. Pavement Requirements for Residential and Commercial Travel Ways and Spaces. 1. No person shall park any motor vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer on the front,
side or rear yard of any lot, improved with a single-family dwelling, zoned for residential use, except on a driveway or lawfully paved surface.
2. Unless otherwise expressly exempt under the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance, all off street parking and loading areas including aisles and entrances, shall be paved with durable dust-free hard surface, except as may be specifically authorized within the 100-year floodplain. Residential driveways shall be paved at least twenty feet (20’) back from any public sidewalk or driveway apron. Beyond twenty feet alternate materials such as gravel, grasscrete or brick pavers that are designed to be driven upon may be used. Individual parking spaces shall be paved; provided however, that a two- foot section of the standard 18-foot commercial parking space may be unpaved if the area is landscaped and a raised curb stop is installed so that the front two feet of the vehicle may overhang the landscaped area. Off-street parking areas associated with public parks, open space areas and driveways for designated historic landmarks and within the H-1 Overlay, Old and Historic District shall be eligible for a waiver from the pavement requirements of this section. The applicant must request the waiver in a letter attached to the application. To grant a waiver or modification the Zoning Administrator must determine that actual pavement is not necessary in the particular case.
D-13
Town of Leesburg, Virginia Zoning Ordinance (January, 2016) 11-14
Article 11 | | Parking, Loading and Pedestrian Access Sec. 11.6 | Parking and Loading Area Design Standards
The Zoning Administrator shall set forth in writing the reasons for such determination.
E. Curb and Gutter. Curb and gutter shall be installed where deemed necessary by
the Land Development Official, within off-street parking and loading areas in order to manage storm drainage, channelize traffic, protect buildings and landscaping areas, and separate pedestrian and vehicular circulation areas.
F. Sidewalks and Pedestrian Facilities. Sidewalks shall be provided along the entire street frontage of a site, as necessary to protect pedestrians and promote the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicles along a street. Sidewalks shall have a minimum unobstructed width of five (5) feet. In the case of a block containing a partial sidewalk, the width of the existing sidewalk may be continued for the remainder of the block length so long as ADA requirements are met. New sidewalks within a historic district or serving a historic district will be reviewed by the Board of Architectural Review and/or by staff, as required, in accordance with applicable historic district regulations to mitigate potential impact on the historic resource or historic streetscape.
In those cases outside of the H-1 Overlay, Old and Historic District where the applicant can properly demonstrate that a sidewalk four (4) feet in width that meets ADA minimum requirements can adequately and safely accommodate pedestrian traffic, the Zoning Administrator may modify the five (5) foot width requirement. Any modification request shall be made in writing to the Zoning Administrator with adequate information testifying to the nature of the existing block or sidewalk and evidence justifying the modification sought. The Zoning Administrator shall set forth in writing the grant of modification with reasons for such determination.
G. Delineation of Parking and Loading Spaces; Traffic Control Signs. All
parking and loading spaces shall be marked by durable painted lines or curbs extending the length of the space. Signs or pavement marking shall be utilized, as necessary, to ensure safe traffic operation and to identify designated handicapped parking spaces and off-street loading spaces.
H. Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking and loading areas shall be arranged, installed and maintained in order to deflect, shade and focus lights away from adjacent public or private properties. Modifications to installed lighting may be required by the Zoning Administrator upon determination that the lighting constitutes a hazard or a nuisance.
I. Setbacks, Screening and Landscaping. All parking and loading areas shall comply with the setback, screening and landscaping requirements of Article 12.
J. Emergency and Public Vehicle Access. Parking and loading areas shall be designed so that emergency, public service and refuse collection vehicles can serve the development without the necessity of backing unreasonable distances or making other dangerous or hazardous turning movements.
K. Front Yard Parking Areas No front yard paved surface used for parking shall exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the size of the front yard of the lot. This provision shall not apply to (1) any lot improved with a single-family attached

TaBle 10: Building Function. This table categorizes Building Functions within Transect Zones. Parking requirements are correlated to functional intensity. For Specific Function and Use permitted By Right or by Warrant, see Table 12.
TaBle 11: Parking Calculations. The Shared Parking Factor for two Functions, when divided into the sum of the two amounts as listed on the Required Parking table below, produces the Effective Parking needed for each site involved in sharing. Conversely, if the Sharing Factor is used as a multiplier, it indicates the amount of building allowed on each site given the parking available.
