§ 442. Parking lots.

(a)

Screening. Where a parking lot or loading area for a commercial, industrial, or institutional use abuts a public right-of-way, the required front landscape strip shall provide screening, as defined by this UDC, from the public right-of-way along the entire property line. The location of the required front landscape strip shall be setback from the future right-of-way for the road, not the existing right-of-way of the road, as determined by the public development director.

(b)

Pedestrian circulation. Parking areas shall be designed to facilitate safe and convenient use by pedestrians. Institutional, commercial and multi-family developments shall provide designated pedestrian pathways or sidewalks connecting the front entrance of the principal building to the sidewalk along the abutting street, including marked crosswalks across interior driveways.

(c)

Paving. All parking areas shall be paved with asphalt or concrete meeting specifications of this UDC, except that pervious materials may be substituted to meet stormwater management requirements, subject to the approval of the public development director.
