The City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw regulates the use of land and buildings and establishes standards for development within the City in accordance with the policies of the Municipal Development Plan. To do this, the Bylaw: Divides the City into a series of Land Use Districts (as illustrated on the Land Use Map); Sets out permitted and discretionary land uses and minimum development standards for each Land Use District; Sets out general regulations and minimum development standards that apply to development in all districts and to specific land uses; and Identifies how the Bylaw will be interpreted, amended and used, and how it will be enforced. The Land Use Bylaw only contains the City's land use regulations - other municipal, provincial and federal bylaws, regulations and Acts may apply to development and must also be observed. Although the Land Use Bylaw makes reference to some of these other requirements, it is the responsibility of each individual landowner or developer to be aware of and comply with all other applicable regulations. When using the Land Use Bylaw to determine which Land Use Districts and regulations apply to your property and/or developments that you plan to undertake, it is recommended that you follow this process: Step 1 -Locate the site on the Land Use Map in Section 18.0 & determine which Land Use District applies to the site. Step 2 -Find the Land Use District in Sections 13.0 to 17.0 & check which land uses are permitted or discretionary, and what minimum standards apply to the development (i.e. lot size, minimum setbacks, lot coverage, maximum building height, etc.). Step 3 -Check the General Regulations in Section 9.0 to determine if there are any additional regulations that apply to the development. Step 4 -Check the regulations in Sections 10.0 through 12.0 to determine the requirements for parking, loading, landscaping and signs. Step 5 -Discuss your proposal with the City of Camrose Planning & Development Services staff. They'd be happy to review and provide feedback on your proposal, explain the development process, and answer any questions you might have. You can reach Planning and Development Services at 780-672-4428 or [email protected].

City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw 3222-22 Page 83 10.0 PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS This Section of the Land Use Bylaw contains regulations pertaining to vehicular parking and loading requirements. Some land uses generate more traffic than others and have different parking and loading needs. This Section prescribes the minimum required number of parking spaces for specified land uses and the requirements for how and where that parking should be arranged. This Section also includes regulations for bicycle parking to help promote alternative transportation within the City of Camrose.

Parking for guest rooms, sleeping units, employees or visitors shall not be in tandem. 10.2.2 Parking spaces in tandem formation may be a maximum of two vehicle stalls deep and may only provide parking for one (1) dwelling unit. 10.2.3 Should the development provide additional stalls in tandem, there is no limit to the number of stalls that can be provided but each stall in 'tandem' will only be counted as a single stall. Amended by 3317-24 City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw 3222-22 Page 86 10.2.4 To determine the total number of parking stalls permitted to be in tandem (C), use the equation: B - A = C. Determine the number of total dwelling units (A). Calculate the number of total required parking stalls (B) for the total number of dwelling units. To determine the total number of parking stalls permitted to be in tandem (C), use the equation: B - A = C. OFF-SITE PARKING 10.3.1 All parking stalls required by this Bylaw for residential purposes shall be located on the same site as the residential use. 10.3.2 At the discretion of the Development Authority, a non-residential development may be permitted to provide a portion of its parking requirement off-site in the following circumstances: If the required parking is located within 100.0 m of the site and does not require the crossing of any arterial or highway road; and If an agreement is signed between the registered landowners of the two (2) sites, and the agreement is registered on the Titles of the properties that are subject to the agreement with the City named as third party. PARKING FACILITIES AND PARKING STALLS 10.4.1 An off-street parking area or accessory off-street parking area shall be constructed so that adequate access to and exit from each stall is provided at all times by means of maneuvering aisles designed to the satisfaction of the Development Authority. Example Only: 1. Ten (10) 1-bedroom dwelling units and fourteen (14) 2-bedroom dwelling units equal a total number of twenty-four (24) dwelling units (A). 2. If each 1-bedroom unit requires one (1) parking stall, and each 2-bedroom unit requires 1.25 parking stalls, the total number of required parking stalls is (10 units x 1 parking stall/unit) + (14 units x 1.25 parking stall/unit) = 27.5 required parking stalls. Since the total number of required parking stalls is not a whole number, round to the nearest whole number. In this case, 27.5 parking stalls becomes 28 parking stalls (B). 3. The total number of parking stalls permitted to be in tandem (D) is equal to 28 - 24 = 4. This means four (4) parking stalls are permitted to be in tandem, as shown in the picture on the right: City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw 3222-22 Page 87 10.4.2 All parking areas shall conform to the Table 2: Minimum Parking Stall Dimensions.
