27.61.060 SPECIAL PARKING STANDARDS FOR SENIOR CITIZEN USES.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, the number of parking spaces required to be provided for senior citizen uses may be as low as 0.25 spaces per rental dwelling unit and as low as 1.0 spaces per sale dwelling units. The actual ratio shall be determined at the time of granting the special use permit for the use. Ten percent of such spaces shall be designated handicapped parking stalls. In determining the number of parking spaces required, the following factors, as well as any other relevant factors, shall be considered:

(1) The number of employees required by the use, whether such employees will reside on the premises, and hours during which any nonresident employees will be employed;

(2) The availability of public transportation;

(3) Whether residents of the use will be eligible for government rent subsidies;

(4) The degree to which on-site provision of services and facilities will effect the need of residents to leave the site;

(5) The proximity of facilities and services to the site. Where appropriate, employee parking on the site shall be separately identified and shall be available only to employees.
