The following requirements apply to any structure that includes parking of vehicles. For access and surface parking requirements, please see Chapter 19.34 EMC. Modification of these standards is subject to Review Process II outlined in Chapter 15.02 EMC, and evaluation criteria in Chapter 15.03 EMC.

A. Setback and Street Frontage Standards. The setback and street frontage standards set forth in Table 12-4 apply to all structured parking. The frontage standards apply to the ground floor of that portion of a structured parking facility twenty feet in depth measured perpendicular to the front lot line. The frontage standards include any access driveways, if allowed.

B. Structured Parking Design.

1. Structured parking must be designed to obscure the view of parked cars. Where structured parking is provided on the ground level adjacent to the sidewalk to accomplish this, features such as planters, decorative grilles, or works of art shall be provided as approved by the city.

2. Where the structured parking wall is built to the sidewalk edge, the facade shall use a combination of artwork, grillwork, special building material treatment/design, and/or other treatments as approved by the city that enhance the pedestrian environment. In order to meet transparency requirements, structured parking can incorporate openings with grillwork or other treatments to resemble windows.

3. Structured parking levels above the ground floor shall use articulation treatments that break up the massing of the garage and add visual interest. (Ord. 3774-20 § 5(I) (Exh. 3), 2020.)
