§ 527.180. Off-street parking and loading.

(a) In general. The required amount of off-street parking and loading and bicycle parking for the planned unit development shall be determined by the city planning commission and shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 541, Off-Street Parking and Loading, except as otherwise allowed by this chapter. In determining the minimum and maximum number of off-street parking and loading spaces and bicycle parking required, the city planning commission shall consider, but not be limited to, the parking and loading and bicycle parking requirements for the individual uses within the planned unit development as specified in Chapter 541, Off-Street Parking and Loading, the nature of the uses and population served, documentation supplied by the applicant regarding the actual parking and loading demand for the proposed use, the potential for shared parking and loading, and the use of alternative forms of transportation. The city planning commission may consider this alternative without the addition of amenities beyond those required for a planned unit development in section 527.120(1).

(b)

Other standards. The city planning commission may consider alternatives to the minimum width of parking aisles and the minimum and maximum width of driveways where it is demonstrated that the parking area, aisles, and driveways will still allow for reasonable, functional, and safe vehicular access to and within the site. Where the alternative is to allow an increase in driveway width, the city planning commission shall also consider, but not be limited to, turning templates or other similar documentation demonstrating the need for the increase. The city planning commission may consider this alternative without the addition of amenities beyond those required for a planned unit development in section 527.120(1).
