A. Parking.

1. The provisions of LUC 20.20.590, except as they conflict with this section, apply to development in the Medical Institution District.

2. Performance Standards for Parking Structures. The Director may approve a proposal for a parking structure through the Design Review process of LUC 20.25J.015.B. The Director may approve the parking structure only if:

a. Driveway openings from public rights-of-way are limited and the number of access lanes in each opening are minimized.

b. The structure exhibits a horizontal, rather than sloping, building line, as viewed from 116th Ave. NE and NE 12th Street.

c. The dimension of the parking structure abutting pedestrian areas is minimized. If a parking structure abutting pedestrian areas is necessary for functional reasons, mitigation shall be provided through the addition of planting, modulation, materials variation, artwork or other features that would cover at least 50 percent of the parking structure facade area unless a smaller coverage area is approved through a Master Development Plan or Design Review where Master Development Plan approval is not required.

d. The parking structure complies with the requirements of the Design Review Guidelines of LUC 20.25J.080.

e. A wall or other screening of sufficient height to screen parked vehicles from views from adjoining rights-of-way and which exhibits a visually pleasing character is provided at all above-ground levels of the structure.

f. Safe pedestrian connection between the parking structure and the principal use exists.

g. Loading areas are provided for vanpools/carpools.

h. Vehicle height clearances for structured parking must be at least seven and one-half feet for the entry level to accommodate vanpool parking.

i. For all uses, no more than 25 percent of the required parking spaces may be designed and constructed in accordance with the dimensions for compact stalls provided in LUC 20.20.590.K.11.

B. Transportation Management Program. The requirements of BCC 14.60.070 (Transportation Management Program) must be met as part of the Master Development Plan or Design Review where Master Development Plan approval is not required. An alternative TMP may be required by the City and/or proposed by the applicant, whereby a performance standard is designated and program features to attain this performance standard are established. Such program features may include special site design features, annual promotion events, contracted parking enforcement, shuttle services, financial incentives to employees, and a guaranteed-ride-home program.

C. Commute Trip Reduction. The requirements of Chapter 14.40 BCC must be met as part of a required Master Development Plan or Design Review where Master Development Plan approval is not required. (Ord. 5831, 8-4-08, § 2; Ord. 5587, 3-7-05, § 2)
