§ 26-941. Authority of board of zoning appeals.  


Latest version.
  • The board of zoning appeals may authorize and approve joint agreements for the establishment and use of off-street parking facilities as provided for in this division. In addition to this power, when practical difficulties prevent the establishment of off-street parking facilities upon the same lot with the main buildings to be served as required by division, the board of zoning appeals may, after public hearing and notice, and subject to appropriate conditions, permit the following exception: Required off-street parking facilities shall be situated conveniently near, but in no case more than 400 feet from, the main entrance to which such facilities are appurtenant, provided that such off-street parking facility and accessways shall be reserved for such use by a deed or agreement which is so drafted as to ensure that such off-street parking facilities and accessways will be perpetually and continuously available for such purposes unless and until released by affimative action of the plan commission. In considering and approving such off-street parking facilities the board of zoning appeals may impose such conditions and safeguards as it deems necessary by the circumstances to ensure the public health and safety and sound economic growth and development of the area and may include as such safeguards and conditions, among other things, the installation and regulation of lighting and prevention of glare, determination of the location and adequacy of entrances and exits to a street, and provisions for planting, landscaping and fencing thereof.
