§ 18.38.020 — Permit Requirements and Exemptions

A. Parking Requirements. New parking lots and modifications or expansions to existing parking lots will be evaluated as part of project review for other permits and approvals (e.g., Architectural Review, Conditional Use Permit). At a minimum, Site Plan Review is required for new parking lots and modifications to existing parking lots to determine compliance with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code. B. Exempt Activities. Parking improvements listed below shall be considered minor in nature and are therefore exempt from Site Plan Review requirements if they do not alter the number or configuration of parking stalls. However, exempt activities listed herein may require other ministerial permits (e.g., Building Permits). 1. Repair of any defects in the surface of the parking area, including repairs of holes and cracks. 2. Repair or replacement in the same location of damaged planters and curbs. 3. Additions to residential floor area for single-family dwellings with existing, nonconforming two-car garages. Additions can be approved without the parking as long as the garage is fully accessible and has at least 17 feet by 17 feet inside dimensions, and a garage door, or doors, at least 15 feet wide.
