ii.                     All applications seeking FLDP approval for any use shall comply with the shared parking requirements for Hazelwood Green as set forth in the Parking or Transportation Demand Management Plan. Such compliance shall be demonstrated in a parking demand analysis that complies with the provisions of Section 922.11.C.2 <about:blank>(d) of the Code. The parking demand scope and final report shall be approved by the City of Pittsburgh Department of Planning.

iii.                     All parking accessory to a principal use shall be subject to the following maximum parking ratios based on the use classification set forth below:

Use Classification

Maximum Parking Ratio

Studios: 1 space per dwelling unit  1-bedrooms: 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit  2 or more bedrooms: 2 spaces per dwelling unit

 

B. Surface Parking.

Except for Temporary Surface Lots, surface parking in the SP-10 Hazelwood Green Development District shall only be permitted as accessory to other uses. A surface parking lot shall not exceed the lesser of: (1) twenty (20) percent of the land area of a Development Lot or (2) 0.4 acres. Surface lots shall not front onto an Open Space, be across a street from an Open Space, and shall not front onto an Active Street.

 

C. Temporary Surface Lots.

Prior to the date Certificates of Occupancy are issued for temporary vehicular parking spaces throughout the SP-10 equal to the SP-10 Parking Threshold, Temporary Surface Lots shall be permitted anywhere except for areas designated in any approved FLDP for Urban Open Space within the SP-10 Hazelwood Green Development District on a temporary basis, subject to the following limitations:

i.                     A Temporary Surface Lot should be shared by multiple users, and shall be accessory for users of Hazelwood Green.

ii.                     The Temporary Surface Lot shall not be subject to the maximum parking ratios set forth above, and shall not be subject to the limitation on the number of surface parking spaces set forth in Section 914.02.C of the Code.

iii.                     The landscaping requirements of Chapter 918 shall not be applicable to Temporary Surface Lots, provided that parked vehicles shall be screened from view of adjacent streets to the extent feasible.

iv.                     All Temporary Surface Lots shall be subject to Site Plan Review under Section 922.04 <about:blank> of the Code in lieu of complying with the FLDP requirements of Section 922.11.C <about:blank>.

v.                     In no event shall new Temporary Surface spaces above the SP-10 Parking Threshold be permitted to be constructed after three-point-one million square feet (3,100,000 GSF) of development have been built (excluding improvements on parcels 19, 20, 23, 24, 27 & 28), however existing Temporary Surface spaces may be relocated within the SP District.  Provided further, that the following provisions shall govern parking lots which contain Temporary Surface parking spaces (a “Temporary Lot”):

(a)                     Within twelve (12) months of the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the issuance of the occupancy permit for a Temporary Lot, the record owner of the Temporary Lot shall commission a Parking Demand Study (a “30 Year PDS”) which shall study the amount of Temporary Surface spaces which are then necessary to support the uses and/or users on the properties which utilize the Temporary Lot, and the amount of Temporary Surface spaces which will be necessary to support the uses and/or users on the properties which utilize the Temporary Lot on the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the issuance of the occupancy permit for the Temporary Lot.

(b)                     The 30 Year PDS shall not only take into account the criteria as set forth in Section 914.02.B of the Code (as amended), but shall also take into account the ability to utilize then available Transportation Demand Management (“TDM”) strategies to determine the appropriate number of Temporary Surface spaces that will be required to be maintained in the Temporary Lot on the date which is the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the issuance of the occupancy permit for the Temporary Lot.

(c)                     The 30 Year PDS shall be presented to the Zoning Administrator, who shall forward the same with a recommendation to the Planning Commission for their review and approval of any remaining Temporary Surface parking spaces.

(d)                     In the event that the 30 Year PDS demonstrates that all or a portion of the Temporary Surface spaces that exist as of the date of the 30 Year PDS are no longer necessary to support the uses and/or users, then the owner of the parking lot shall take the necessary steps to eliminate such Temporary Surface spaces, or portions thereof, as of the date which is the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the issuance of the occupancy permit for the Temporary Lot. To the extent that the 30 Year PDS shows that all or portions of the then existing Temporary Surface parking spaces will be necessary to support the uses and/or users on the properties which utilize such Temporary Surface Spaces on the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the issuance of the occupancy permit for the Temporary Lot, then such Temporary Surface parking spaces will be permitted to remain, and shall become permanent parking spaces.

 

vi.                     In no event shall the total number of parking spaces located on all Temporary Surface Lots combined in the SP-10 be more than the SP-10 Parking Threshold. Each applicant for a Temporary Surface Lot shall identify the total number of parking spaces located within all Temporary Surface Lots as part of an application for Zoning Administrator review and approval of a new Temporary Surface Lot.  After 4,000 temporary spaces are built, a site-wide parking and transit assessment will be commissioned, and alternatives to surface parking will be evaluated for commercial viability.

D. Parking Structures.

A non-accessory Parking Structure shall not be located within five hundred (500) feet from another non-accessory Parking Structure measured by a linear line from the closest point of one (1) structure to the beginning of the other structure. This restriction shall not apply to or from garages placed on parcels 20, 24, or 28.

 

E. Podium Parking.

Podium parking is allowed on any HG Block. When facing onto Active Streets or Urban Open Spaces, podium parking shall be wrapped on all frontages and all levels facing an Active Street, Urban Open Space, or a frontage on Lytle Street South of Hazelwood Ave, with a minimum of 18 feet of occupied, habitable space.

 

F.  Integral Parking.

 

Integral Parking shall be permitted as an accessory use, so long as it is limited to one level, and when adjacent to Active Streets, Urban Open Spaces, and Public-Private Open Spaces, shall be screened from view with a minimum depth of 18 feet of occupied habitable space between the parking area and exterior wall of the building.
