Section 14. Section 22C.020.190, Height -Exceptions to limits, of the Marysville
Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
The following structures may be erected above the height limits of MMC 22c.o:m,_QJ3_Q(2):
(1) Roof structures housing or screening elevators, stairways, tanks, ventilating fans or similar
equipment required for building operation and maintenance; and
(2) Fire or parapet walls, skylights, chimneys, smokestacks, church steeples, flagpoles, and
utility line towers and poles.
Section 15. Section 22C.130.030, Minimum required parking spaces, of MMC Chapter
22C.130, Parking and Loading, is hereby amended to read as follows:
( 1) Purpose. The purpose of required parking spaces is to provide enough parking to
accommodate the majority of traffic generated by the range of uses which might locate at the
site over time. As provided in subsection (2)(e) of this section, bicycle parking may be
substituted for some required parking on a site to encourage transit use and bicycling by
employees and visitors to the site. The required parking numbers correspond to specific land use
categories. Provision of carpool parking, and locating it closest to the building entrance, will
encourage carpool use.
(2) Minimum Number of Parking Spaces Required.
(a) The minimum number of parking spaces for all zones and use categories is stated in
Table 1.
(b) If the parking formula used to determine parking requirements results in a fractional
number greater than or equal to one-half, the proponent shall provide parking equal to the
next highest whole number.
(c) Changes in Occupancy. Whenever the occupancy classification of a building is changed,
the minimum standards for off-street parking for the new occupancy classification shall be
applicable; provided, that if the existing occupancy had established a legal nonconforming
status with respect to off-street parking requirements, no additional off-street parking shall
be required for the new occupancy unless said new occupancy is in a classification requiring
more parking than that which would have been required for the existing occupancy if it had
been subject to the provisions of this chapter. If strict application of this section is not
feasible due to existing site conditions such as building or parcel size, shape or layout, a
variance may be granted by the community development director.
(d) Joint Use Parking. Joint use of required parking spaces may occur where two or more
uses on the same or separate sites are able to share the same parking spaces because
their parking demands occur at different times. Joint use of required nonresidential parking
spaces is allowed if the following documentation is submitted in writing to the community
development department as part of a building or land use permit application, and approved
by the community development director:
(i) The names and addresses of the uses and of the owners or tenants that are
sharing the parking;
(ii) The location and number of parking spaces that are being shared;
(iii) An analysis showing that the peak parking times for the uses occur at different
times and that the parking area will be large enough for the anticipated demands of
both uses; and
(iv) A legal instrument such as an easement or deed restriction that guarantees
access to the parking for both uses.
The building or use for which application is being made to utilize the off-street parking
facilities provided by another building or use shall be located within 500 feet of such
parking facilities.
(e) Bicycle parking may substitute for up to 10 percent of required parking. For every five
nonrequired bicycle parking spaces that meet the bicycle parking standards in
MMC 22C.130.060, the motor vehicle parking requirement is reduced by one space.
Existing parking may be converted to take advantage of this provision.
(f) The off-street parking and loading requirements of this chapter do not apply
retroactively to established uses; however:
(i) The site to which a building is relocated must provide the required spaces; and
(ii) A person increasing the floor area, or other measure of off-street parking and
loading requirements, by addition or alteration, must provide spaces as required for
the increase, unless the requirement under this subsection is five spaces or fewer.
(g) Reduction of Required Spaces When Effective Alternatives to Automobile Access Are
Proposed. Upon demonstration to the hearing examiner that effective alternatives to
automobile access are proposed to be implemented, the examiner may reduce by not more
than 40 percent the parking requirements otherwise prescribed for any use or combination
of uses on the same or adjoining sites, to an extent commensurate with the permanence,
effectiveness, and demonstrated reduction in off-street parking demand achieved by such
alternative programs. Alternative programs which may be considered by the examiner
under this provision include, but are not limited to, the following:
(i) Private vanpool operation;
(ii) Transit/vanpool fare subsidy;
(iii) Imposition of a charge for parking;
(iv) Provision of subscription bus services;
(v) Flexible work-hour schedule;

(h) Reduction of Required Spaces in Downtown Vision Plan Area. Commercial uses within
the downtown core, southwest sector, southeast sector, and waterfront sector may reduce
the number of required off-street parking spaces in accordance with this section, upon
demonstration to the community development department that the proposed use is in
conformance with the downtown master plan guidelines as set forth in the comprehensive
plan. Expansion of existing commercial buildings and uses is required to demonstrate
conformance with the city's design standards and guidelines or to incorporate reasonable
measures to meet the intent of the guidelines for existing uses. For commercial uses
requiring less than 10 spaces, the parking requirements may be waived by the director. For
required parking in excess of 10 spaces, the applicant must demonstrate that adequate on-
street parking facilities exist within 400 feet of the proposed use in order to qualify for a
reduction. Parking may be reduced by up to 50 percent if consistent with the downtown
master plan guidelines. In approving a reduction to requ ired off-street parking, the
department may require improvement of existing right-of-way to meet the intent of this
code and the downtown master plan in providing improved parking, walkways and access
to the business.
(i) Uses Not Mentioned. In the case of a use not specifically mentioned in Table 1:
Minimum Required Parking Spaces, the requirements for off-street parking shall be
determined by the community development director. If there are comparable uses, the
community development director's determination shall be based on the requirements for
the most comparable use(s). Where, in the judgment of the community development
director, none of the uses in Table 1: Minimum Required Parking Spaces are comparable,
the community development director may base his or her determination as to the amount
of parking required for the proposed use on detailed information provided by the applicant.
The information required may include, but not be limited to, a description of the physical
structure(s), identification of potential users, and analysis of likely parking demand.
(3) Carpool Parking. For office, industrial, and institutional uses where there are more than 20
parking spaces on the site, the following standards must be met:
(a) Five spaces or five percent of the parking spaces on site, whichever is less, must be
reserved for carpool use before 9:00 a.m. on weekdays. More spaces may be reserved, but
they are not required.
(b) The spaces will be those closest to the building entrance or elevator, but not closer
than the spaces for disabled parking and those signed for exclusive customer use.
(c) Signs must be posted indicating these spaces are reserved for carpool use before 9:00
a.m. on weekdays.
