Division <strong>27</strong>-5 Development Standards<br />
Sec. <strong>27</strong>-5.200 Off-Street Parking and Loading<br />
<strong>27</strong>-5.207 Dimensional Standards for Parking Spaces and Aisles<br />
<strong>27</strong>-5.207.A General<br />
general public use or made available for sharing with other<br />
uses not associated with the development, in accordance with<br />
Sec. <strong>27</strong>-5.208.C., Shared Parking for Single-Use Developments.<br />
Any parking allowed for general public use that is not<br />
associated with a shared parking agreement in accordance with<br />
Sec. <strong>27</strong>-5.208.C shall be free of charge or have a reasonable<br />
parking fee established for use of the space.<br />
E. Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations 114<br />
Up to ten percent of the required number of off-street parking<br />
spaces may be used and designated as electric vehicle (EV)<br />
charging stations, subject to the standards in subsection <strong>27</strong>-<br />
5.207 below. The Planning Director shall have authority to<br />
approve the use and designation of additional required parking<br />
spaces as electric vehicle charging stations, provided that such<br />
additional spaces shall count as only one-half of a parking<br />
space when computing the minimum number of parking spaces<br />
required. Parking spaces used as electric vehicle charging<br />
stations shall consist as one or more group(s) of contiguous<br />
spaces located where they can be readily identified by electric<br />
vehicle drivers (e.g., through directional signage), but where<br />
their use by non-electric vehicles is discouraged.<br />
F. Driveways Used to Satisfy Standards<br />
For single-family detached dwellings, two-family dwellings,<br />
three-family dwellings, and mobile home dwellings, driveways<br />
may be used to satisfy minimum off-street parking space<br />
114 This provision authorizes up to ten percent of required parking spaces to be<br />
designated as electric vehicle charging stations. (Additionally, the Planning Director<br />
may authorize additional spaces, but they only count for ½ of a space). Doing so<br />
reflects the current and anticipated rapid growth in the production and use of<br />
electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles.<br />
standards, provided a minimum of 19 feet of driveway length is<br />
available outside a street right-of-way, easement, or sidewalk<br />
to store the length of a general purpose vehicle and satisfy the<br />
standards of this Section and this Ordinance.<br />
<strong>27</strong>-5.207. Dimensional Standards for Parking<br />
Spaces and Aisles<br />
A. General 115<br />
Except as otherwise provided in <strong>27</strong>-5.207.B below, standard<br />
vehicle parking spaces and parking lot aisles shall comply with<br />
the minimum dimensional standards established in Table <strong>27</strong>-<br />
5.207.A.1, Dimensional Standards for Parking Spaces and<br />
Aisles. See Figure <strong>27</strong>-5.207.A.2: Measurement of Parking Space<br />
and Aisle Dimension.<br />
115 Sec. <strong>27</strong>-558 of the current Zoning Ordinance specifies the required minimum<br />
width and depth of parking spaces serving all uses. This draft carries many of the<br />
current standards of that section forward. The subsection in this draft modifies the<br />
dimensions in the current ordinance based on current practices in site design. Nonparallel<br />
spaces have been reduced in width from 9.5 to 9 feet, and the uniform 19-<br />
foot length is modified to be a dimension of depth of the overall parking space<br />
perpendicular to the curb. Arlington County uses this standard.<br />
