B. Compact Parking. In any off-street parking lot having more than twenty parking spaces, up to thirty percent of such spaces may be designated as “compact” spaces and be developed according to the minimum dimensional requirements for compact spaces established in Table 22.40.060; provided, that in any off-street parking lot having more than twenty spaces, a minimum of twenty parking spaces shall comply with the minimum dimensional requirements for standard spaces established in Table 22.40.060. Every compact parking space created pursuant to this section shall be clearly identified as such by painting the word COMPACT in upper case block letters, using white paint, on the pavement within the space. The additional use of signs to identify any large blocks of compact parking spaces is encouraged. The random distribution of compact spaces or blocks of compact spaces throughout a parking lot is also encouraged.

C. Existing parking lots may provide for compact parking spaces under the provisions of this section; provided, that the parking lot shall comply with all provisions of this chapter except that any parking lot which provides five percent of its area in landscaping shall be deemed to comply with all landscaping requirements.

D. Vehicle Overhang. Vehicular overhang of up to two feet is permitted, provided no vehicle shall overhang into a sidewalk or walkway which would reduce the unencumbered width of a sidewalk or walkway to less than four feet. A vehicle is permitted to overhang into a landscaped area by two feet; provided, that the required landscape area of trees and shrubs are not reduced in quantity and not subject to potential damage. (Ord. 1190-21 § 2, 2021; Ord. 817 § 2, 1996).
