3312.27 - Parking setback line.

A parking setback line establishes how close parking, vehicle display, loading or maneuvering may be located to a street right-of-way line. This line shall be located a minimum distance from a street right-of-way line and be related to a building line as follows: 1. On unimproved frontage the parking setback line shall coincide with the required building setback line. 2. Where a required building setback line is 25 feet or greater, the parking setback line shall be 25 feet from the street right-of-way line. 3. Where a required building setback line is less than 25 feet, the parking setback line shall follow the building setback line or the established parking setback, whichever is less, but in no case shall the parking setback line be less than ten feet from the street right-of-way line. Exception: for a residence that has a building setback line of less than ten feet, the parking setback line can be the same as the building setback line. 4. In C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-5 Commercial Districts, and M-Manufacturing Districts where there are only commercial district uses developed, the parking setback line shall be established ten feet from the street right-of-way line without respect to the building line. 5. Exception: Where a parking setback line is specifically established by Council ordinance, zoning district, overlay, or subdivision plat, the parking setback line shall conform to that requirement.
