17.58.020 Definitions.
A. An "accessory parking facility" is an attached or
detached structure for the purpose of parking passenger
vehicles which is secondary in nature and incidental to
the primary use of the property. Said structures can be,
but are not limited to, residential or commercial garages
and carports.
The "central district" means the "Central traffic
District" as described in Section 10.08.020 (f) of

"Driveway" is a way or place in private ownership which.
leads to a loading zone or legal parking space and is
used for vehicular travel by the owner and those having
express or implied permission from the owner but not by
other members of the public. Driveways and driveway
connections to City streets must conform to all City
ordnances, standards and policies.
E. "Floor area" of a building or structure shall mean
"conditioned floor area" unless otherwise specified.
F. "Gross floor area" of buildings and structures, means the
area as measured from outer wall to outer wall.
A "parking lot" means an off-street open area solely for
the parking of passenger vehicles. Such an area or
portion thereof shall be considered a parking lot whether
on the same lot as another use, whether required by Code
for any structure or use, and whether classified as an
accessory, permitted or conditional use.
A "parking garage" means any structure for the parking of
passenger vehicles, for short- or long-term periods which
is not classified as an accessory parking facility.
A "tandem parking space" is a parking space that is
adjacent to the end of a legal off-street parking space,
opposite the drive aisle. The orientation of the tandem
~ - 2 m
parking space is the same as and only accessible through
said legal off-street parking space.
17.58.030 Minimum dimensions for required off-street parking
and freight loading spaces.
A. Parking Spaces
The minimum individual parking space or stall size
shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 18 feet deep and shall
be designed according to standards established by the
Traffic Engineer.
B. Loading Spaces
Every required off-street loading space shall have a
minimum length of 35 feet, a minimum width of 10 feet, and a
minimum vertical clearance including entry and exit of 14
feet; except for the first such space required for any
structure or use the minimum length shall be 25 feet and the
minimum vertical clearance including entry and exit shall be
12 feet. These dimensions shall be exclusive of platform,
driveways, and maneuvering areas.
17.58.040 Rules for calculation of required off-street
parking.
A. In the calculation of off-street parking and freight
loading spaces, the following rules shall apply:
Parking computations will be based on gross floor
area of buildings and structures, unless otherwise
stated in this Chapter.
When, after computing the number of parking spaces
required for a structure, there appears a fractional
requirement of one-half or more of a parking space,
one additional parking space shall be required. If,
after such computation, the fractional requirement
for a given number of spaces is below one-half
space, no additional parking will be required for
that fractional parking space.
The requirements for off-street parking and loading for
any use not specifically mentioned shall be the same as
for a use specified which is similar, as determined by
the Planning Director.
17.58.050 General standards as to location and arrangement
of off-street parking.
A. Every off-street parking or loading space shall have
adequate means of ingress from and egress to a street or
alley. Every required off-street parking or loading space
shall be independently accessible. Access to off-street
loading spaces shall be provided on private property for
entrance of vehicles to off-street parking and loading
spaces.
The internal layout of off-street parking and loading
spaces, driveways, aisles and maneuvering areas shall be
clearly marked according to City standards.
Ce
Parking spaces for handicapped persons, as required by
state law, shall be designed and designated for their
use.
Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be
arranged so as to prevent encroachments upon street
rights of way, adjacent properties, and landscaping areas
required pursuant to Section 17.53.061 of this code. In
approving the design of said parking and loading
facilities the approving authority shall consider the
maneuvering, standing and storage of vehicles, and layout
of the facilities, and may require the use of curbing,
bumper or wheel guards or other such devices as necessary
to insure compliance with this section.
Tandem parking will not be counted toward the requirement
for legal off-street parking.
If, in the opinion of the Board of Zoning
Adjustment, the use of tandem parking will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements of neighboring owners of
property and said tandem parking is in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of this title, tandem parking
may be allowed subject to the approval of a modification
therefor under Section 17.64.070 of the code.
Compact parking will not be counted toward the
requirement for legal off-street parking.
If, in the opinion of the Board of Zoning
Adjustment, the use of compact parking will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements of neighboring owners of
property and said compact parking is in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of this title, compact parking
may be allowed subject to the approval of a modification
therefor under Section 17.64.070 of the code.
Driveways crossing sidewalks shall be arranged, to the
extent practical, to minimize the width and frequency of
curb cuts, and conflicts with pedestrian and transit
movements as determined by the Traffic Engineer.
Every off-street parking or loading facility and access
thereto shall be suitably graded, paved, drained, and
maintained according to standards adopted by the City
Engineer. Wherever corrosive materials are loaded or
unloaded, docks, driveways, off-street loading and
parking areas shall be equivalent concrete.
Additions or alterations to existing off-street parking
facilities shall obtain site plan review approval
pursuant to chapter 17.53 of this code. The city shall
process said site plan review application for parking
lots not requiring a building permit as a Class "C"
project pursuant to said chapter.
J. No area credited as all or part of a required off-street
parking space shall also be credited as all or part of a
required off-street loading space, or used for off-street
loading. No area credited as all or part of a required
loading space shall also be credited as all or part of a
required off-street parking space, or used for off-street
parking.
In no event shall any parking provided pursuant to
Section 17.58.010 through 17.58.110 be situated in such a
way that vehicles entering the parking area required by
Sections 17.58.010 through 17.58.110 shall be allowed to
back onto any street or thoroughfare in order to leave
said property.
1. This provision shall not apply to any private
residence in an area zoned for private residences.
On streets which have not been designated by the
traffic authority as arterial or collector streets,
the traffic authority is granted the power to permit
backing onto such streets for multiple dwellings
where such backing will not adversely affect traffic
and is similar to a single family residential
driveway use.
Neither the area of a required side yard abutting a
street nor of a front yard shall be used for off-street
parking required by this code except as allowed in
Section 17.58.050(M). Such provisions shall not apply in
the P zone.
ORIGtNAL
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17.158.110, the
area of a required front yard or side street yard in an
R-2, R-3 or R-4 zone may be encroached to the extent of
four feet for off-street parking required by this
chapter, subject to the following limitations and
conditions:
The encroaching parking space must be an extension
of and parallel to a row of parking containing two
or more spaces inclusive;
2. The prohibition against backing onto streets
contained in Section 17.58.050(K) shall apply;
3. On corner lots or lots at intersecting streets, no
such encroachment is permitted in a sixty foot
corner cutoff area as measured along the
intersecting street curb-lines extended;
The landscaping or wall requirements contained in
Subsection B of Section 17.34.020 shall apply. Any
such landscaping or wall in the encroached area, or
the sixty foot corner cutoff area must be approved
by the City Traffic Engineer.
N. Open air, temporary parking of automobiles, except trucks
of over fifteen hundred pounds capacity shall be paved on
surfacing material in accordance with standards adopted
by the city engineer. Where the parking area, including
driveways, is within ten feet of the property line of
property zoned for R uses, it shall be separated
therefrom by a continuous solid wall of masonry
construction six feet in height or, upon approval of and
at the discretion of the planning director, by a
landscaped area seven feet in width, with or without a
six-foot solid fence which effectively buffers and
screens the parking from the residential uses in a manner
similar to the above-described masonry wall. Subject to
the limitations specified in Section 17.08.175, the wall
or landscaping from the front property line to a depth
equal to the required front yard on the abutting R
classified property shall be four feet in height. Where
parking areas are adjacent to each other on R zoned lots
or where common, shared or joint use of parking or drive
aisles exist; they may be facilitated by a waiver or
modification of the wall or landscape requirement or both
at the discretion of the planning director. The fence,
wall and landscaping shall be maintained in good
condition. (Ord. 2710 ~ 2, 1982: prior code ~;
17.40.020).
O. For the "central district" the required number of parking
stalls may be reduced by 50 percent for any commercial
facility which operates only after 5 P.M.
P. For the "central district" any off-street freight loading
area located within 50 feet of any residential zoned or
developed property shall be completely enclosed within a
building if such freight loading is used in regular night
operation.
17.58.055 Transit offsets.
(THIS SECTION IS RESERVED FOR REQUIREMENTS GOVERNING PARKING
WHEN TRANSIT OFFSETS ARE PROVIDED SUCH AS BUS STOPS AND
TRANSIT TERMINAL FACILITIES.)
17.58.060 Parking Lots.
ko
Artificial lighting used to illuminate a parking lot
shall be arranged to direct rays away from residential
properties. The design of said lighting shall be subject
to approval by the Building Director.
No parking lot for any number of automobiles shall have
conducted upon it any dead storage, dismantling, or sale
of vehicles, or any repair or servicing of vehicles other
than that of an emergency nature.
Any parking lot in the "central district" for the parking
of two or more automobiles which adjoins a residential
lot in any zone, or which faces a lot in any residential
zone across a street, shall be partially screened from
view therefrom, except at driveways necessary for ingress
and egress, by a landscaping screen, approximately 24
inches in height, and shall be approved by the Planning
Director and Traffic Engineer.
Any parking lot in the "central district" for the parking
of 6 or more automobiles shall be partially screened from
view from every street except at driveways necessary for
ingress and egress, by a landscaping screen,
approximately 24 inches in height, approved by the
Planning Director and Traffic Engineer.
17.58.070 Required off-street parking on the same lot as
the structure or use served; exceptions.
The nonresidential parking requirements of Sections
17.58.010 through 17.58.110 may be satisfied by leasing
the required parking spaces from properties immediately
adjacent to the subject property. If parking is proposed
on an adjacent parcel, said parking must be considered
readily accessible to the subject property as determined
by the Planning Director. If off-street parking is
proposed on an adjacent parcel said parking shall conform
to the requirements outlined in Section 17.58.070 (C) of
this code.
B. Off-site parking for uses within the "central district"
shall be subject to the following exceptions and
requirements:
Required off-street parking spaces for one-family or
two-family dwellings in Residential zones shall be
located on the same lot as the dwellings served.
Required off-street parking spaces for all other
dwellings shall be located on the same lot as the
dwelling served, as an accessory use, or within a
walking distance of 500 feet, as either a permitted
or a conditional use, depending upon the use
provisions applicable to the zone in which such
parking is located. Required off-street parking
spaces for projects designed for senior citizens or
the handicapped shall be on site.
Required off-street parking spaces for all uses
other than dwellings shall be located on the same
lot as the use served, as an accessory use, or
within a walking distance of 1,000 feet, as either a
permitted or a conditional use, depending upon the
use provisions applicable to the zone in which such
parking is located.
Walking distance for purposes of subsections B(2)
and B(3) above shall mean the distance from an
outside entrance of a structure or use or part
thereof, to the nearest point of the off-street
parking facility assigned to such structure or use
or part thereof, along the shortest and most
convenient pedestrian walkway open to the user or
users of such off-street parking space.
Whenever the Planning Director determines that
sufficient spaces are available in a public parking
facility within 1000 feet of a new business, he may
accept a contract pursuant to Section 17.58.070 (C)
for such spaces in satisfaction of the off-street
parking requirements of this Chapter.
In order to be credited toward the parking requirements
of any development, use, or structure, any off-street
parking space located on a lot other than the lot on
which the structure or use to be served is located must
meet the following criterion: Assurances as to the
availability of remote parking spaces must be provided.
Such availability shall be assured either by ownership of
both the lot containing the structure or use to be served
and the lot containing the off-street parking space by at
least one common owner, or by a lease or other instrument
providing for the availability of the parking space for
not less than the actual lifetime of the structure or
until a change of use or modification to an existing use
occurs. An attested copy of any such instrument shall be
filed with the Planning and Building Department prior to
approval of any building permit application affected by
this arrangement for provision of required off-street
parking. In addition, in either case, a document in a
form approved by the City Attorney shall be executed by
the parties concerned, and recorded in the office of the
County Recorder, serving as a notice of the restrictions
under this Code applying both to the lot requiring and
the lot containing the off-street parking space, by
virtue of this arrangement for provision of required off-
street parking.
17.58.080 Joint or shared use of required off-street
parking.
Joint use of off-street parking spaces at the same
location to meet the requirements of two or more
structures or uses may be permitted, where the total
quantity of spaces provided is at least equal to the
total of the required spaces for all such structures or
uses when computed separately.
Shared use of the same off-street parking spaces to meet
the requirements of two or more structures or uses may be
permitted, where the normal hours of operations of such
structures or uses are such as to assure the feasibility
of such joint use of parking, and where the total
quantity of spaces provided is at least equal to the
total of the projected parking demand for the structures
or uses in operation at any given time. A standard shall
be adopted by the Planning Director and Traffic Engineer
establishing parameters for determining peak parking
demand on shared uses.
In order to be credited toward the parking requirements
of this Chapter, an off-street parking space made
available for joint use and located on a lot other than
the lot on which the structure or use to be served is
located, must be available for the actual lifetime of the
structure or use to be served. Such availability shall be
assured in the manner provided for in Section 17.58.070
of this ordinance. In addition, in the case of joint use
of parking, an attested copy of a contract among all the
parties concerned setting forth their agreement to such
joint use shall be filed with the Planning and Building
Departments prior to approval by said Department of any
building permit application affected by the arrangement
for joint use of parking. In any such case a notice of
restrictions upon the affected properties shall be
executed in a form approved by the City Attorney and
recorded in the Office of the Kern County Recorder,
making specific reference to said contract and describing
the arrangement for joint use or parking.
17.58.090 Reduction of off-street parking and loading
requirements where area requirements met for the "central
district."
In instances in which the Central District Development
Agency as certified by resolution that the required off-
street parking space requirements for uses in the "central
district" will be satisfied in whole or in part by public
off-street parking facilities constructed or authorized to
be constructed, off-street parking required for an
individual building and uses may be correspondingly reduced
if the total off-street parking supply in the area will meet
the requirements for all buildings and uses in the area.
17.58.100 Parking Garages in the "central district."
Statement of Purpose. It is the purpose of this section
to establish a procedure by which parking garages
proposed for downtown Bakersfield may be reviewed as to
the appropriateness of their location and arrangement,
recognizing the need for continuing development of a
unified transportation system conveniently serving the
downtown area.
Approval process. Review of the location and design of
any parking garage shall be in accordance with the
criteria set forth below, and no such garage shall be
constructed within the central district but outside the
redevelopment project area without a conditional use
permit from the Board of Zoning Adjustment, or City
Council on appeal, or, within the redevelopment project
area, without the approval of the Central District
Development Agency.
Criteria for review. The following criteria shall be
utilized by the Board of Zoning Adjustment, City Council,
and/or Central District Development Agency in determining
whether to approve a parking garage project:
Accessibility to the area of the proposed site and
to the proposed parking garage itself, from freeway
ramps or from arterials;
Convenient service to areas of concentrated
development, by location of the proposed parking
garage near or adjacent to, but not inside, such
concentrated areas;
Minimization of conflict of the proposed parking
garage with pedestrian movements and amenities,
resulting from the placement of driveways and ramps,
the breaking of continuity of shopping facilities
along the sidewalks, and the drawing of traffic
through areas of heavy pedestrian concentration;
4. The service patterns of other forms of
transportation;
5. The transportation section of the Redevelopment
Element;
6. Street-level retail/commercial uses accommodated in
design; and
7. Such other criteria as may be deemed appropriate in
the circumstances of the particular case.
A project not satisfying such criteria may be
approved provided findings supporting a waiver are made.

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE BAKERSFIELD MUNICIFAL CODE
RELATING TO PARKING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
Planning Director Hardisty apprised Commission of an earlier meeting
where several items of concern about the ordinance were received and it
was continued to give the Zoning Ordinance an opportunity to meet with
those who appeared and to allow them the opportunity to give more
detail to their concerns and recommendations. The committee met with
tbose concerned on January 18th. Mr. Hardisty reviewed changes in the
ordinance that came about as a result of the committee meeting.
Public hearing was opened. There being no one present wishing to speak
either in favor or opposition, public bearing was closed.
Chairperson Bjorn stated she was happy with the ultimate outcome~of the
ordinance and congratulated the committee as well as staff and all
those who participated.
Mr. Hardisty commented that the transit agency requested some tradeoffs
between transit facilities and parking and indicated the city agrees
with that in concept. However, they would like to include that type of
a study as part of the city's transportation management planning proc-
ess for air quality and focus on that as an issue in itself.
Commissioner Marino commented that everybody concerned did a real good
job.
Commissioner Milazzo applauded the input that was received from the
development community and also commended David Dow for his diligent
work. He then referred to the chart displaying the parking stall
angles and pointed to the aisle width in column D, third item up from
the bottom, 26.5 feet and stated the intent was not that the turning
radius was needed to be increased and it was his understanding that the
drive aisle width was not going to be increased.
Traffic Engineer, Steve Walker explained that the chart was not a part
of the Parking Ordinanoe. It is a reference in the Public Works design
manual. He also pointed out they had a 20-foot stall with a 25-foot
dr~ve aisle and there is now an 18-foot long stall with a 26-foot drive
aisle. Also in column 2C+D the wall-to-wall module is 62 1/2 feet.
With the old stall design that would have been 65 feet.
Lengthy discussion took place as to drive aisle widths and parking
stall widths in parking garages and shopping centers.
