Section 2. Section 12 of Ordinance #2307-98 (EMC 19.15.060), which reads: Off-street Parking Requirements. The intent of this section is to require off-street parking for the residents of multiple family developments to be provided on the development site, and to recognize differences between areas which should have a lesser need for automobile use due to availability of transit service, adequate pedestrian facilities, and the proximity of services within walking distance. A. Parking for multiple-family dwellings shall be provided according to the location of the property, as provided herein. For purposes of this section, any room other than a kitchen, bathroom, living room or dining room, such as a den, study, office or other similar room shall be considered a bedroom. 1. Lots located within the area designated by Map #15-1 shall provide 1.0 parking spaces per dwelling unit. 2. Lots located within the area designated by Map#15-2 shall provide 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit for two or fewer bedroom units; and 2.0 parking spaces for dwelling units with three or more bedrooms. 3. Lots in areas outside of the areas designated by Map#15-1 or Map#15-2 shall provide 2.0 parking spaces per dwelling unit, except: a. in mixed use developments in which at least 25% of the gross floor area of the development is provided in a permitted non-residential use, 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit with 2 or fewer bedrooms shall be provided. Parking for non-residential uses shall be provided as otherwise required by this Title. b. in multiple family developments with more than 100 dwelling units, 2.0 parking spaces shall be provided for the first 100 dwellings with 2 or fewer bedrooms, and 1.5 parking spaces shall be provided for each dwelling with 2 or fewer bedrooms in excess of the first 100 dwellings. 2.0 spaces shall be provided for each dwelling with 3 or more bedrooms. 4. Single family attached dwelling developments in the R-1(A) and R-2(A) zones shall provide 2.0 parking spaces per dwelling unit. 5. Senior citizen housing developments shall provide 1.0 parking space per dwelling unit. The applicant shall provide a covenant in a form acceptable to the City which runs with the land stating that the housing units shall be limited to occupancy by senior citizens. Conversion to non-senior citizen housing shall not be permitted unless meeting the parking standards of this section. B. Parking spaces and parking garages provided within a multiple-family development shall be for the use of tenants and their invited guests only and shall not be rented, leased or otherwise used by persons who do not reside in the multiple-family development. Parking spaces required by this Section shall not be used for storage, boats, trailers, or any purpose other than meeting the off-street parking requirements of this Section.
