17-9-1 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to ensure new development and
redevelopment have flexibility in addressing parking demand, and to
improve the visual appeal of the town by regulating the placement,
layout, and design of parking areas and garages.
17-9-2 Parking requirements.
A. General.
1. At least two off-street spaces within a fully enclosed garage
shall be provided for residential uses on lots of 16,000 square
feet or less.
2. For all other uses, a parking justification analysis shall be
provided.
a. The parking justification analysis shall include the
following minimum contents:
i. An analysis of the parking demand from the existing
and proposed onsite buildings or uses, including hours
of operation and peak use time and demand for each
proposed building or use.
ii. The number and location of proposed onsite parking
spaces (including accessible parking spaces).
iii. The data source used to establish the number of
proposed onsite parking spaces.
iv. The existing and future anticipated available parking
within and in the vicinity of the proposed development.
v. If parking demand is proposed to be addressed offsite,
reference to or copies of any shared parking agreement
or other evidence of a right to park in that location.
vi. The location and distance from the site to existing
residential neighborhoods and an explanation of how
or why the proposed buildings or uses will not place a
parking burden on residential streets.
vii. Discussion of whether the proposed development or
uses will be catering to or may likely attract bicyclists,
and if so, the location and number of bicycle racks.

viii. Off-street loading requirements and impacts on
surrounding uses and properties.
ix. Any other information deeded appropriate by the town
engineer, including without limitation a traffic study.
b. The parking justification analysis process:
i. Submission to the planning director.
ii. Approval or rejection with explanation.
iii. Revision or appeal to board of adjustment.
c. Standards for parking justification analysis consideration
i. The planning director may reject the parking
justification analysis if it fails to address any adverse
impacts on surrounding properties or the public.
ii. Parking demand shall be determined using standard
modeling practices.
iii. Available parking shall include any parking available
within 660 feet of the proposed use.
iv. Where the proposed development or uses will be
catering to or may likely attract bicyclists:
a) Parking areas that exceed 20 spaces must provide at
least one bicycle parking space for each 20 vehicle
parking spaces or fraction thereof.
b) Spaces are determined by the number of bicycles
that the manufacturer specifies that the bicycle rack
will accommodate, subject to section 17-9-4 B.
B. Water harvesting. Parking areas that exceed or are planned to
exceed 400 spaces must incorporate water harvesting, consisting of
one or more of the following elements, which can be credited
against detention/retention requirements of this title:
1. Bioretention areas—planted areas designed to filter, store, and
infiltrate stormwater by utilizing mulch, soil and plant root
systems to retain, degrade and absorb pollutants.
2. Pervious pavement systems—pavement comprised of a
permeable surface with an underlying aggregate base course,
allowing stormwater to infiltrate through the surface for direct
recharge into the soil or collection into a bioretention area.
3. Site grading and drainage designed and constructed to direct
runoff to bioretention and pervious pavement areas.
4. Curb-cut inlets and outlets that direct runoff into and out of
bioretention and pervious pavement areas.
C. Accessible parking. Accessible parking must be provided for all
multifamily and non-residential uses as required by law.

D. Location. The requirements of this paragraph apply in all zones
except downtown and blended use zones.
1. Required parking spaces for residential uses must be located
on the same lot as the residential use, or in a designated shared
parking area located on an abutting lot or on a lot directly
across a neighborhood or collector street.
2. Parking for residential uses on lots of 16,000 square feet or less
is prohibited on any portion of the front yard setback other
than on a driveway.
3. No unenclosed residential parking area or space may be used
for the repair, dismantling, or servicing of vehicles or
equipment or for the storage of vehicles, equipment, materials,
or supplies.
4. A commercial motor vehicle as defined in A.R.S. § 28-5201 may
not be parked or stored in an unenclosed residential parking
area or space or driveway.
E. Design.
1. General. The following standards apply to proposed
development of parking areas that meet the size threshold
listed below.
a. Each surface parking lot with parking spaces abutting a
public street requires screening along the street in the form
of walls, evergreen landscaping, or a combination of the
two. Screening must be a minimum of 42 inches high, and
must be located outside the site visibility triangle. Where
walls are provided, they must harmonize with building
colors and materials.
b. Each surface parking lot containing more than 100 spaces
must divide the parking lot into separate areas each
containing fewer than 100 spaces that are separated by one
or more of the following:
i. Landscaped swale.
ii. Landscaped pedestrian path not less than 10 feet wide.
iii. Primary or accessory building.
c. Each surface parking lot containing more than 400 spaces
must incorporate water harvesting (see paragraph B above)
2. Dimensions. Off street parking spaces are subject to table 1
below, as measured along the curb for stall width and
perpendicular to the curb for stall depth. The length of a
parking space may be reduced by up to one and one-half feet
for a vehicle overhang area. The parking space must have a
vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
