SEC.155. GENERAL STANDARDS AS TO LOCATION AND ARRANGEMENT OF OFF-
STREET PARKING, FREIGHT LOADING AND SERVICE VEHICLE FACILITIES.
Required off-street parking and freight loading facilities shall meet the following
standards as to location and arrangement. In addition, facilities which are not required but are
actually provided shall meet the following standards unless such standards are stated to be
applicable solely to required facilities. In application of the standards of this Code for off-street
parking and loading, reference may be made to provisions of other portions of the Municipal
Code concerning off-street parking and loading facilities, and to standards of the Better Streets
Plan and the Bureau of Engineering of the Department of Public Works. Final authority for the
application of such standards under this Code, and for adoption of regulations and
interpretations in furtherance of the stated provisions of this Code shall, however, rest with the
Planning Department.
(a)
Required Parking and Loading on the Same Lot as the Use Served. Every required
off-street parking or loading space shall be located on the same lot as the use served by it,
except as provided in Sections 159, 160 and 161 of this Code.
(b)
Off-Street Parking and Loading on Private Property. Every required off-street
parking or loading space shall be located in its entirety within the lot lines of private property.
Shared driveways are encouraged.
(c)
Adequate Means oflngress and Egress. Every off-street parking or loading space
shall have adequate means of ingress from and egress to a s:Street or a4Jley. Access to off-

street loading spaces shall be from e4.lleys in preference to stS:treets, except where otherwise
specified in this eCode.
Adequate reservoir space shall be provided on private property for entrance of vehicles
to off-street parking and loading spaces, except with respect to spaces independently
accessible directly from the stS:treet.
flt
For ,..gesidential -uUses, independently accessible off-street parking spaces
shall include spaces accessed by automated garages, or car elevators, lifts, or other space-
s
efficient parking as defined in Section 154(a)(4) and Section 154(a)(5) provided that no more
than one car needs to be moved under its own power to access any one space.
(d)
Enclosure of Off-Street Loading and Service Vehicle Spaces Required. All off-street
freight loading and service vehicle spaces in the C-3, DTR, MUO, WMUO, MUG, WMUG,
MUR, and South of Market Mixed Use Districts shall be completely enclosed and access from
a public stS:treet or e4.lley shall be provided by means of a private service driveway, which is
totally contained within the structure. Such a private service driveway shall include adequate
space to maneuver trucks and service vehicles into and out of all provided spaces, and shall
be designed so as to facilitate access to the subject property while minimizing interference
with street and sidewalk circulation. Any such private service driveway shall be of adequate
width to accommodate drive-in movement from the adjacent curb or inside traffic lane but
shall in no case exceed 30 feet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjacent stS:treet or e411ey
is determined by the Zoning Administrator to be primarily used for building service, up to four
off-street freight or loading spaces may be allowed to be individually accessible directly from
such a stS:treet or efi.lley, pursuant to the provisions of Section 309 in a C-3 District, the
provisions of Section 307(g) in a South of Market Mixed Use District, the provisions of Section
309.1 in a DTR District, the provisions of Section 329 for projects subject to Section 329 in a

Exceptions to Improve Conformity with Setbacks, Yards, Open Space, and
Other Requirements of the Code. The Zoning Administrator may reduce or waive the off-
street parking requirement for existing buildings if removal of parking and associated
structures increases conformity with required front setbacks, side yards, and rear yards,
increases conformity with open space or street frontage requirements, reduces or eliminates
any nonconforming encroachment onto public rights-of-way or other public property or

Freight Loading and Service Vehicle Spaces in C-3 Districts. In recognition
of the fact that site constraints in C-3 Districts may make provision of required freight loading

and service vehicle spaces impractical or undesirable, a reduction in or waiver of the provision
of freight loading and service vehicle spaces for uses in C-3 Districts may be permitted, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 309 of this Code. In considering any such reduction
or waiver, the following criteria shall be considered:
(1)
Provision of freight loading and service vehicle spaces cannot be
accomplished underground because site constraints will not permit ramps, elevators,
turntables, and maneuvering areas with reasonable safety;
(2)
Provision of the required number of freight loading and service vehicle
spaces on-site would result in the use of an unreasonable percentage of ground-floor area,
and thereby preclude more desirable use of the ground floor for retail, pedestrian circulation,
or open space uses;
(3)
A jointly used underground facility with access to a number of separate
buildings and meeting the collective needs for freight loading and service vehicles for all uses
in the buildings involved, cannot be provided; and

Landmark and Significant Trees. The required off-street parking and loading
may be reduced or waived if the Zoning Administrator determines that provision of required
off-street parking or loading would result in the loss of or damage to a designated Landmark
Tree or Significant Tree, as defined in the Public Works Code. The Zoning Administrator's
decision shall be governed by Section 307(i) and shall require either (Li) the recommendation
of the Department of Public Works Bureau of Urban Forestry, or its successor agency, or (J#)
the recommendation of a certified arborist as documented in the subject tree's required tree
protection plan.
