23.66.170

A. Parking standards in the Pioneer Square Preservation District are set forth in Section 23.49.019 . B. To mitigate the potential impacts of required loading on the District, the Director of Neighborhoods, after review and recommendation by the Preservation Board, may waive or reduce required loading if reasonable application of the loading standards will adversely affect the visual character of the District. C. If parking is provided it shall be subject to the requirements of Section 23.54.030 . D. Standards for location of access to parking 1. Access to parking and loading from alleys, and from streets that generally run east/west is preferred to access from Avenues. If a lot abuts more than one right-of-way, the location of access shall be determined by the Department of Neighborhoods Director in consultation with the Director of Transportation. This determination shall be made according to the traffic classification of the street, depicted on Map D for 23.66.170. Access shall be from rights-of-way classified as follows, from the most to least preferred (a portion of a street that is included in more than one category is considered as belonging only to the least preferred of the categories in which it is included), except when the Department of Neighborhoods Director, following review and recommendation by the Board, determines that access from the preferred right-of-way would create a hazardous condition: alleys; access streets, regardless of pedestrian classification; Class II pedestrian streets-minor arterial; Class II pedestrian streets-principal arterial; Class I pedestrian streets-minor arterial; Class I pedestrian streets-principal arterial; principal transit streets, regardless of pedestrian classification; green streets. 2. Curbcut width and the number of curbcuts permitted per street frontage shall be governed by Section 23.54.030 . 3. The street-level location of entrances and exits of all parking garages, if permitted, shall be permitted only if approved by the Department of Neighborhoods Director after review and recommendation by the Preservation Board. View-obscuring screening may be required as needed to reduce adverse visual impacts on the immediate area.
