42-552 OF THE SALINA CODE REGARDING STANDARDS FOR REQUIRED
OFF-STREET PARKING, AND REPEALING THE EXISTING SECTION.
BE IT ORDAINED by the Governing Body of the City of Salina,
Kansas:
Section 1. That Section 42-552 of the Salina Code is hereby amended
to read as follows:
"Section 42-552. Standards for required off-street parking.
(a) Utilization. Required accessory off-street parking
facilities provided for the uses hereinafter listed shall be
solely for the parking of motor vehicles in operating
condition of patrons, occupants or employees of such uses.
(b) Area. A required off-street parking space shall
be at least eight (8) feet six (6) inches in width and at
least nineteen (19) feet in length, exclusive of access drives
or aisles, ramps, columns, office or work area.
(c) Access. Each required off-street parking space
shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width
and design as to provide safe and efficient means of
vehicular access to such parking space.
(d) Open and enclosed parking. No off-street
parking, driving, or maneuvering areas open to the sky
shall cover more than sixty (60) percent of the total area of
any front yard nor shall any motor vehicle or recreation
vehicle be parked in any front yard except upon a driveway
or parking area.
(e) Design and maintenance:
(1) Design. Off-street parking spaces shall
comply with such design standards relating to
curb length, stall depth, driveway width,
island width, barriers, and ingress and
egress as may be established from time to
time by the city. Off-street parking spaces
may be open to the sky or enclosed in a
building.
(2) Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas
and access drives shall be surfaced with a
permanent asphalt or concrete pavement
meeting standards and specifications of the
City. Existing off-street parking areas not
in compliance with this surfacing standard
must be brought into compliance with this
standard if there is:
a. A change in use to a more intensive
occupancy group as per the adopted
building code;
b. A change in use which requires
additional off-street parking;
C. An expansion or modification of the
structure which requires additional
off-street parking;
d. Or in any event, within five (5) years
from the effective date of this
amendment.
This surfacing requirement shall not apply to
access drives and off-street parking spaces
serving single family dwellings or any
permitted use in the A-1, RS, R, R-1 , 1-2,
or 1-3 zoning district. Such drives and
parking spaces shall be graded, drained and
improved with gravel or other all-weather
material.
(3) Screening. All open off-street parking areas
containing more than six (6) parking spaces
shall be effectively screened on each side that
adjoins any property situated in a
single-family residential district by a wall,
fence or densely planted compact evergreen
hedge not less than six (6) feet or more than
eight (8) feet in height. Parking areas shall
be arranged and designed so as to prevent
damage to, or intrusion into, such wall, fence
or hedge.
(4) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate
off-street parking areas shall be directed
away from residential properties in such a
way as not to interfere with the residential
use.
(5) Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair
work or service of any kind shall be
permitted in association with any off-street
parking facilities.
(6) Computation. When determination of the
number of off-street parking spaces required
by this division results in a requirement of a
fractional space, the fraction of one-half or
less may be disregarded, and a fraction in
excess of one-half shall be counted as one
parking space.
(7) Collective provisions. Off-street parking
facilities for separate uses may be provided
collectively if the total number of spaces so
furnished is not less than the sum of the
separate requirements for each such use, and
provided that all regulations covering the
location of accessory parking spaces in
relation to the uses served are adhered to.
(9) Employee parking. Parking spaces required
on an employee basis shall be based on the
maximum number of employees on duty or
residing, or expected to be on duty or
residing, or both, on the premises at any one
time, at the same time as the building permit
is issued.
(8) Location. All parking spaces required to
serve buildings or uses shall be located on
the same zoning lot or in the same zoning
district as such building or use, except that
such parking spaces may be provided in an
adjacent zoning district if such district allows
parking lots or parking garages as a
permitted use. But in no instance shall
required off-street parking be located more
than six hundred (600) feet (as measured
along lines of public access) from the use
which it serves.
(9) Employee parking. Parking spaces required
on an employee basis shall be based on the
maximum number of employees on duty or
residing, or expected to be on duty or
residing, or both, on the premises at any one
time, at the same time as the building permit
is issued.

(10) Maximum number of spaces. The total number
o accessory parking spaces provided for a
single-family, a two-family or multiple -family
dwelling shall not exceed that required by
this division, for such use or for any
equivalent new use by more than fifty (50)
percent or four (4) spaces, whichever number
is greater.
(11) Exempt zone. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this chapter, no accessory
off-street parking facilities shall be required
for any structure in the C-4 central business
districts except residences, and those uses
specifically required to provide parking.
(12) Determination of required spaces. When
determining the required number of off-street
parking spaces for apartment houses,
lodging, boarding or rooming houses,
fraternities, sororities, and dormitories, an
occupant shall mean an individual separate
and distinct from the immediate family of the
owner, landlord or operator."
Section 2. That the existing Section 42-552 of the Salina Code is
hereby repealed.
Section 3. That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from
and after its adoption and publication once in the official city newspaper.
