970.10.15 Transition: Parking Space General Requirements
970.10.15.5 Requirements Applying to all Zones
(1) Application of Parking Space Rates in Policy Areas 3 and 4
A lot located entirely or partly within Policy Area 3 or Policy Area 4 on the Policy Area Overlay Map is subject to the
following:
(A) if the buildings on the lot cover at least 50 percent of the area located within 40 metres of the lot line that
abuts the street in the Policy Area, the parking space rates for uses in that policy area apply to the entire lot;
and
(B) in cases other than (A) above, the applicable parking space rate for a use is the parking space requirements
for uses not located in Policy Area 1, Policy Area 2, Policy Area 3 or Policy Area 4. [ By-law: 89-2022 ]
(2) Calculation of Required Parking Spaces - Vacant Building Space
The parking space requirement for an area of a building that is vacant is calculated as follows:
(A) the previous use of that building or part of the building;
(B) the land use identified on the issued building permit; or
(C) if a building or part of a building has never been used, and its intended use has never been identified in a
building permit, the parking space requirement is based on the permitted use in the zone that has the lowest
minimum parking space requirement. [ By-law: 89-2022 ]
(3) Calculation of Parking Space Requirement
If a parking space rate is expressed as a ratio of parking spaces to the gross floor area, the parking space
requirement for a use is calculated by multiplying the gross floor area of the use by the applicable rate found in Table
970.10.15.5 - Parking Space Rates and Parking Space Occupancy. [ By-law: 89-2022 ]
(4) Parking Space Access
Other than stacked parking space and tandem parking spaces, all areas used for required parking spaces must
have driveway access to a street or lane that is direct and unobstructed, excluding a gate, moveable barrier or similar
security feature. [ By-law: 89-2022 ]
