1. A parking space exemption may be granted to projects involving new
construction at a rate of one (1) vehicle space for every five (5) bicycle spaces provided. This
exemption shall not exceed two (2) vehicle parking spaces per parcel. A bicycle parking space
is a designated area with a facility designed for the parking and securing of bicycles.
C. In-Lieu Fees:
1. Owners of property (a single parcel or combination of contiguous parcels)
smaller than 7000 square feet in area may pay an in-lieu parking fee rather than providing all the
required on-site parking spaces. The increased developable portion of the parcel that would
have been used for vehicle parking spaces, shall not be solely used for structure(s) or building
expansion. A reasonable amount of the area, as determined by the City Design Review Board,
shall be landscaped and/or developed as an outdoor component of the project.
2. Owners who propose to construct, demolish, reconstruct or make structural
additions to a commercial structure on a parcel of land consisting of less than 7000 square feet
may elect to pay a fee in-lieu of providing on-site parking spaces as provided in Section 9198.
The actual amount of the fee per parking space shall be established pursuant to Sections 9542
and 9544 of the Ukiah Municipal Code.
3. All in-lieu fees for parking purposes shall be used by the City of Ukiah for
the construction or improvement of automobile or bicycle parking facilities or alternative
transportation facilities at an appropriate time which serves the employees and customers of the
commercial area within Parking District No. 1.
4. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the property owner shall pay the
required in-lieu fee to the City.
SECTION THREE
This ordinance shall be published as required by law in a newspaper of general circulation
published in the City of Ukiah.
SECTION FOUR
This ordinance shall become effective 30 days after adoption.
