§ 26-584. Alternate design standards for parking facilities used for valet parking.

(a)

For a freestanding class 7 use classification under section 26-492 of this Code, parking facilities intended to be used solely for valet parking purposes may be designed in a way that does not conform to the requirements of the Construction Code for the layout of parking spaces and drive aisles if a valet parking plan is submitted along with a site plan pursuant to section 26-473, which complies with the following standards:

(1)

The valet parking plan is submitted with the written consent of the property owner of the tract for which valet parking is proposed;

(2)

The layout and dimensions of the parking spaces and drive aisles provide for sufficient parking and maneuverability for a variety of passenger automobiles, motor vehicles, and light trucks;

(3)

If the valet parking plan provides for an on-site drop-off for vehicles using the valet parking services, the drop-off shall comply with the site plan review requirements of subsection (d) of section 26-474 of this Code;

(4)

The valet parking plan will mitigate the impact of spillover parking onto adjacent properties and residential neighborhoods; and

(5)

If a valet parking plan includes parking spaces that are required by this article, valet parking services must be provided for those parking spaces during all operating hours of the use classification.

(b)

The director shall review the valet parking plan along with the site plan and shall approve a valet parking plan that complies with the standards of subsection (a) of this section. No valet parking services may be provided pursuant to subsection (a) of this section unless the director approves the site plan along with the valet parking plan.

(c)

An applicant or responsible party that provides valet parking services pursuant to a valet parking plan approved by the director shall submit an annual certification of valet parking in accordance with section 26-502 of this Code.
