26 Table 10 - Study Area Parking Parking requirements are outlined in Article 6 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Among the many provisions included in this ordinance, the following sections are specifically relevant to Downtown Suffolk:
• all off-street parking must be within 200 feet of the property, have 27 permanent paving, and be striped. • parking for over three automobiles must be marked. • gravel may be used as a surface material in low-traffic (less than 30 average daily trips) or overflow parking areas. • minimum stall with is nine ft and length of eighteen feet. • except for where a wall is present, a minimum 6 inch high vertical concrete curb shall be constructed. Several parking areas in Downtown are in violation of the ordinance. The parking lots along South Main are not paved but gravel. One lot there is actually the original floor of a demolished building. These spaces are also not marked. The Laderberg lot does not have curb-stops for all of the spaces nor are the spaces marked. The grass lots on West Washington on either side of the Firestone store are used for parking however neither are paved or marked. The ordinance also dictates parking requirements for numerous land uses. Required parking spaces can be an obstacle to some businesses wanting to locate downtown. Table 11 below, taken from Table 606-2 of the UDO, illustrates relative downtown land uses with minimum and maximum parking requirements.
