Ordinance 3322-13 - Laserfiche WebLink

when site and soil conditions make it a feasible alternative. Beginning January 1, 2017, permeable pavement is required when feasible, per the thresholds and standards in the City's stormwater regulations. Permeable surfacing includes, but is not limited to: paving blocks, turf block, pervious concrete, porous asphalt, and other similar approved materials. Gravel shall not be allowed as permeable surfacing. Pervious materials shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with the City of Everett Stormwater Management Manual and the manufacturer's specifications. Where permeable surfacing alternatives are not used, a paved and permanent surface shall be used as required by the city engineer. See Section 39.165 for other parking lot design requirements for transportation compatibility. B. Landscaping and screening for parking lots shall be in accordance with the standards of Chapter 35 of this title. Parking areas located on the roof of a building shall provide landscaping and screening as required by Chapter 35 if such parking area is visible from any abutting property. Parking of trucks or fleet vehicles is considered off-street parking for the purposes of calculating the parking lot interior landscaping required by Chapter 35. C. Internal vehicle and pedestrian circulation for parking lots shall be approved by the planning director and traffic engineer. Parking lot circulation shall allow for access so pedestrians and wheelchairs can easily gain access from public sidewalks and bus stops to building entrances through the use of pedestrian /wheelchair paths which are physically separated from vehicle traffic and maneuvering areas. All developments must provide specially marked or paved walkways through parking areas. Generally, walkways should be provided every four rows and a maximum distance of 180 feet shall be maintained between paths. Where possible, align the pathways to connect with major building entries or other sidewalks, pathways, and destinations. The Planning Director shall have the authority to modify this standard for small projects with less than 50 stalls, or where site conditions make the pathways ineffective and not beneficial to pedestrians. In projects with more than 100 spaces, at least one pedestrian /wheelchair path shall be at least 5 feet wide, and be raised, constructed of different materials than the parking lot paving, or otherwise distinguished from the vehicle maneuvering areas. Painting a path within the parking and vehicle maneuvering area does not meet the standard, In shopping center parking lots such pedestrian/wheelchair paths shall be constructed in a manner that they cannot be used as a holding area for shopping carts, while not conflicting with ADA standards. Paratransit loading/unloading zones should be located so as to not interfere with pedestrian/wheelchair paths. • . Do this Not this (not continuous across drive aisle) 3
