17.64.010 Purpose.
The following regulations are established to provide for the off-street parking of
automobiles, trucks and other vehicles in connection with the uses of land
permitted by this zoning ordinance. Various land uses generate vehicular traffic
according to their specific characteristics and require differing amounts of off-
street parking and loading area. These requirements will help to relieve on -street
parking demand and traffic congestion by ensuring adequate off-street parking
and loading facilities where they are needed most. (Ord. 1436 §2(part), 1981).
17.64.020 Off-street loading.
A. In all districts, except those specifically excepted and noted, for each use
for which a building is to be erected or structurally altered to the extent of
increasing the floor area to equal the minimum floor area required to provide
loading space and which will require the receipt or distribution of materials or
merchandise by truck or similar vehicle, there shall be provided off-street loading
space on the basis of minimum requirements, as follows:
1. Commercial, industrial, and public utility uses which have a gross floor
area of five thousand square feet or more shall provide off-street truck loading or
unloading berths in accordance with the following table:
Square Feet of Floor Area No. of Berths Required
Less than 5,000 0
5,000 to 30,000 1
30,001 to 100,000 .2
100,001 and over 3
2. Office buildings, hotels, motels, hospitals, schools, institutions, public
buildings, recreational or entertainment facilities, and any similar use which has a

added to an existing use, the loading space shall not be eliminated if elimination
would result in less space than is required to adequately meet the needs of the
use.
D. Off-street parking areas used to fulfill the requirements of this title shall not
be counted as required loading spaces and shall not be used for loading and
unloading operations, except during periods of the day when not required to meet
parking needs.
E. In no case shall any portion of a street or alley be counted as a part of the
required parking or loading space, and such spaces shall be designed and
located as to avoid undue interference with the public use of streets or alleys.

an exterior thermal envelope meetings performance standards which reduce
levels equivalent to the performance standards required of single-family
dwellings constructed under the state building code as defined in ORS 455.010,

like material. The city may require an attached or detached garage in lieu of a
carport where such is consistent with the predominant construction of dwellings
in the immediately surrounding area,

which it is sited shall comply with any and all development standards,
architectural requirements and minimum size requirements with which
conventional single-family residential dwellings on the same lot would be
