Title 17 LAND USE
Chapter 17.112 OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING STANDARDS
17.112.060 Location.
A. All required off-street parking and aisles, including
vehicle overhang, shall be provided on the same lot or parcel of land containing
the use for which it serves except as noted in the following subsections.
Physical barriers (e.g., wheel stops) shall be used to insure no part of a
vehicle will overhang into the public right-of-way or adjacent
properties.
No parking space shall be approved where the vehicle must
back across any public right-of-way line except for one-family residence,
mobile home, tenant house, and farming and ranching uses, or for any parking
space that is blocked off by another vehicle.
B. The public road right-of-way may, in a case of extreme
hardship, be used to provide off-street parking. A Revocable Permit for the Use
of Public Right-of-Way, issued by the Board of County Commissioners, shall be
obtained prior to counting such located parking towards meeting the off-street
parking requirements. It shall be the permittee’s responsibility to
develop and use the right-of-way in accordance to such requirements, terms and
conditions as may be imposed by the Board.
In the event the permit is revoked, the owner or operator is
not relieved from compliance with these off-street parking standards, and shall
bring the use into compliance within thirty (30) calendar days after permit
revocation.
C. Off-lot off-street parking may, in a case of extreme
hardship, be provided to meet the parking requirements, subject to compliance
with the following:
1. The off-lot parking area for residential use is within one
hundred (100) feet and for nonresidential use is within three hundred (300)
feet, excluding public rights-of-way, of the lot or parcel of land containing
the use for which it serves.
2. The off-lot parking area is not separated from the lot or
parcel of land containing the use it serves by a physical or man-made feature
which constitutes a safety hazard. Safety hazard includes, but is not limited
to, a road with a functional classification of "major collector" or higher, or a
road with a current or projected (20 year) average daily traffic (ADT)
of 2,500 vehicles.
3. The off-lot parking area is held in the same ownership as
the lot or parcel of land containing the use it serves, or there is a long-term
(minimum 10 year) interest (e.g., lease) running with the land recorded
with the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder. The instrument of interest shall set
forth as a minimum: purpose, location duration, assignability, maintenance and
repair responsibility, liability, and provision of termination (if
any).
4. In the event the off-lot parking interest is terminated,
the owner or operator is not relieved from compliance with these off-street
parking standards, and shall be responsible for insuring the use’s
off-street parking requirements are continuously and fully met.
