General provisions
769 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
On sites with 80 feet or more of street frontage, the width of a single driveway shall remain constant for no more than 100 feet from the front property line.
On sites with less than 80 feet of street frontage, a single driveway shall be located on either side of the site. The maximum distance between the outside edge of the driveway and the property line shall be five feet.
Where the number of parking spaces requires two driveways, they shall be located so that their inside edges are at least 120 feet apart.
On corner lots and in projects which require more than 26 parking spaces and that cannot accommodate more than one driveway, one 12-foot wide driveway at one side of the site may replace the requirement for the two driveways.
Driveway configurations which require backing in from or out onto the street are not allowed. All vehicles shall be able to turn around within the site boundaries.
A new project may use the driveway on an adjacent lot, provided the following requirements are met: The driveway is directly adjacent to a shared property line; An easement for the use of the driveway is obtained; and The driveway width is adequate for the additional number of vehicles to be served.
Garage doors shall be opaque when permitted to be visible from the street or main garden, adjacent property or main garden.
Grilles four square feet or less which are at least five feet above finished grade may be visible from the street or main garden.
Parking spaces for the disabled shall be provided in compliance with the requirements of State law (California Administrative Code [Title 24, Part 2, Chapters 2(71] and California Vehicle Code [Section 22507.8]).
Vehicles or trailers shall not be parked upon a public or private street, parking lot, or public or private property for the purpose of displaying the vehicle or trailer for sale, hire, or rental, unless the property is appropriately zoned
Parking spaces, driveways, maneuvering aisles, turnaround areas, and landscaping areas shall be maintained free of dust, graffiti, and litter; and striping, paving, walls, light standards, and all other facilities shall be maintained in good condition.
An existing use of land shall not be deemed to be a nonconforming use simply because of the lack of off-street parking or loading facilities required by this Chapter.
The number of off-street parking or loading spaces required for an enlargement of an existing use or structure shall be in addition to the number of spaces existing before the enlargement
If more than one use is located on a site, including multiple uses under single ownership, the number of off-street parking and loading spaces to be provided shall be equal to the sum of the requirements identified for each individual use
Participation in a Public Parking Assessment District may be used to comply with the provisions of this Chapter to the extent of a use's allotted share of the parking spaces in the district.
The review authority may approve the modification of up to two development standards after first finding that: 1. The applicant investigated alternative site designs and building footprints using existing developments standards; 2. The trees to be preserved are in good health and condition...
This Section shall apply to areas of the City for which the Council has established a zoning credit parking program, including the Old Pasadena Parking Development Fund (Map 1) and the South Lake Parking Credit Program (Map 2).
In no case shall the total number of zoning credits designated in a parking facility exceed the actual number of spaces in the parking facility.
On-street parking spaces may be granted as zoning credits in the area identified as the S. Lake Ave. Parking Credit District Boundary Map.
when the computation of the number of required parking spaces results in a fractional unit, one parking space shall be required for a fractional unit of 0.50 or above, and no space shall be required for a fractional unit of less than 0.50.
