EXHIBIT A
17.32.025 High street area parking requirements.
A. Commercial development on High Street is unique within the city and its
parking must be addressed in a manner different than parking for other commercial
development. The Downtown Specific Plan establishes standards for development
which are unique to the downtown and High Street in particular. Parking in the High
Street area (from Moorpark Avenue on the west to Spring Road on the east and Walnut
Street from High Street to Charles Street) must meet fifty (7-550%) percent
of the required parking pursuant to Section 17.32.010 of this chapter. In addition, eating
and drinking places in the High Street area shall have the same required parking as
retail shops and services in the High Street area. In-lieu of meeting the required
parking, the applicant may pay a fee to reduce the required on-site parking to fifty forty
(6040%) percent of the required parking pursuant to Section 17.32.020. The city
council shall establish the fee by resolution to be used to offset a portion of the cost
required to construct public parking facilities in the downtown area.
B. Driveways installed on High Street must provide reciprocal vehicular
access to the parking area. All parking spaces provided above the fifty
(7-650%) percent standard may be designated as reserved parking. Reserved spaces
become reciprocal after between 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. so that those spaces are
available for off-peak parking. Reserved parking signs must include the time
restrictions. All signing must be in conformance with Chapter 17.40 Sign Regulations.
Reciprocal parking spaces are required in accordance with the following table.
Percentage of Percentage of
Parking Standard Required Reciprocal
Provided Parking
40 85
50 75
7-5 50
For example, if Section 17.32.020 requires one-hundred (100) parking spaces and fifty
forty (6040) parking spaces are provided, then thirty-eight thirty-four (3834) parking
spaces must be reciprocal and twelve six (126) parking spaces may be reserved for
exclusive use for the on-site uses of the property.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any property providing one-hundred
(100%) percent of the parking required pursuant to Section 17.32.010 is exempt from
the shared parking and shared access requirements set forth herein.
