§ 7-6. Parking requirements.

(a)

Two (2) parking spaces plus one (1) additional space per room to be rented must be provided at each bed and breakfast establishment.

(b)

Tandem parking is allowed; however, not more than two (2) cars per space shall be allowed.

(c)

No residential structure shall be removed in order to allow for a bed and breakfast use nor shall such a structure be removed in order to provide parking for such a use.

(d)

All parking spaces shall be paved or graded to city standards with material which maintain the historical character of the neighborhood.

(e)

If the applicant is unable to meet subsections (a) through (d) above, the applicant may request special consideration from the planning commission through a site plan review process. The city's intent is not to encourage yards to be destroyed, landscaping removed or the integrity of the neighborhood altered in order to provide parking. In such a case the applicant shall submit an analysis of parking required and parking provided within a three-hundred-foot radius of the subject parcel. After analyzing this study, the planning commission may lower the number of the required parking spaces based on the fact that sufficient parking exists in the neighborhood.
