See <br /> Section 39.165 for other parking lot design requirements for transportation compatibility. <br /> B. Landscaping and screening for parking lots shall be in accordance with the standards of <br /> Chapter 35 of this title. Parking areas located on the roof of a building shall provide landscaping <br /> and screening as required by Chapter 35 if such parking area is visible from any abutting <br /> property. Parking of trucks or fleet vehicles is considered off-street parking for the purposes of <br /> calculating the parking lot interior landscaping required by Chapter 35. <br /> C. Internal vehicle and pedestrian circulation for parking lots shall be approved by the <br /> planning director and traffic engineer. Parking lot circulation shall allow for access so <br /> pedestrians and wheelchairs can easily gain access from public sidewalks and bus stops to <br /> building entrances through the use of pedestrian /wheelchair paths which are physically <br /> separated from vehicle traffic and maneuvering areas. All developments must provide specially <br /> marked or paved walkways through parking areas. Generally, walkways should be provided <br /> every four rows and a maximum distance of 180 feet shall be maintained between paths. Where <br /> possible, align the pathways to connect with major building entries or other sidewalks, <br /> pathways, and destinations. The Planning Director shall have the authority to modify this <br /> standard for small projects with less than 50 stalls, or where site conditions make the pathways <br /> ineffective and not beneficial to pedestrians. In projects with more than 100 spaces, at least one <br /> pedestrian /wheelchair path shall be at least 5 feet wide, and be raised, constructed of different <br /> materials than the parking lot paving, or otherwise distinguished from the vehicle maneuvering <br /> areas. Painting a path within the parking and vehicle maneuvering area does not meet the <br /> standard, <br /> In shopping center parking lots --• - • - • - - - - - - - -- ---- , such <br /> pedestrian/wheelchair paths shall be - ••'-'•• -•• : - -- • •-- -•- constructed in a manner <br /> that they cannot be used as a holding area for shopping carts, while not conflicting with ADA <br /> standards. Paratransit loading/unloading zones should be located so as to not interfere with <br /> pedestrian/wheelchair paths. <br /> - <br /> I <br /> f 4.SL 4 \ ;- I _ IMO <br /> JJii r��}11 <br /> Do this Not this (not continuous across drive aisle) <br /> D. Access driveways for parking areas shall be located so as to cause the least possible <br /> conflict with vehicular and pedestrian traffic on public rights-of-way.
