Exception: This does not apply to shopping centers; see special rules, above. Section 10-102. Minimum Dimensions; Desism. (a) Parking Spaces. All parking spaces must be at least nine feet wide and 18 feet long in order to be counted toward the minimum required number. In addition, the following regulations apply in the indicated circumstances: (1) Ninety-degree angle parking. Maneuvering space shall be not less than 23 feet in length or breadth. (2) Sixty-degree angle parking. Each parking space shall be not less than nine feet wide perpendicular to the parking angle and not less than 18 feet in length when measured at right angles to the building or parking line. Maneuvering space shall be not less than 18 feet perpendicular to the building or parking lines. (3) Forty-five-degree angle parking. Each parking space shall be not less than nine feet wide perpendicular to the parking angle and not less than 18 feet in length when measured at right angles to the building or parking lines. Maneuvering space shall not be less than 15 feet perpendicular to the building or parking lines. (b) Walkways. A private walkway, if provided adjacent to a non-SF building, shall be not less than five feet in width and shall be in addition to the minimum. requirement for parking and maneuvering space herein required. See QMDS Sc.hedule le~cUdiJ.l,a vvaikwAv6. In a OMDS there must be a paved walkwav (at least 3.0 ft. wide) to the curb from each main entrance oriented toward a street area. (c) Additional Space. In addition to the foregoing minimum dimensions, there must be such additional maneuvering space and driveways as may be necessary to allow ordinary, practical use of each parking space. See QMDS Schedule Article 7 regarding garage maneuvering space. Except for those which serve no more than two dwellini units maneuvering areas and driveways must be sized and arranged so that a lar~e vehicle can leave the street driving forward. enter any parking space drivinfJ forward. park in that space and then re- enter the street area driving forward. all with no more than two. stops to chanee directions. As used in this section. "large vehicle" means a truck 18 feet long. with a tumin~ radius of 24 feet (outside ofbumper). (d) Traffic Enflineerinfl Handbook.

See Article 7 for additional criteria. including driveway. parking and garage regulations. Section 10-103. Location of parking spaces. (a) Same Site Rule. All parking spaces required by this ordinance must be located on the same building site with the building space served. Exception: the required spaces may be' located up to 300 feet from the entrance of a building served (and may be outside the City limits) for: (i) parking for building sites not used primarily for residential purposes where an increase in- the number of spaces is required by a change or enlargement of use, or (ii) spaces allowed by this Ordinance to be used jointly for two or more buildings or establishments. (b) Certain Joint Use Of Spaces. The ZBA may issue a special exception to allow up to 75 percent of the parking spaces required for any building site to be used jointly for another building site, ifthe ZBA finds that no increase in on-street parking is likely to result. See QMDS Schedule Table 7-5a regarding shared or grouped guest parking spaces. (c) Above-Grade Parkin!!. No oarkim! so aces may be located above iTade Section 10-104. Loading spaces. On the same building site with every building used for non-residential purposes there must be adequate loading space, separate and apart from the off-street parking spaces. The amount ofloading space shall be sufficient in size and configuration to avoid the possibility that loading or unloading would obstruct a street or sidewalk, taking into account the proposed use of the building and the types ofvehicIes likely to serve it. However, there must be at least one loading area (10 wide by 30 feet long) for each 20,000 square feet of gross floor area, or fraction thereof, of building space likely to require loading space.
