  1. Parking Lot Connectivity Prepared for the City of Shelby By Isothermal Planning and Development Commission

  2. Illustration Lot A and Lot B are both undeveloped

  3. Lot A developed Commercial Building(s) Owner of Lot A develops lot into a commercial plaza Owner of lot A also is required to build half cross access on property Owner of lot A has typical driveway access to Main road

  4. Lot B developed Commercial Building(s) Commercial Building(s) Owner of lot B is required to build the second half of cross access on property

  5. Works for Bicycles/Pedestrians Lot A and Lot B create an interconnected network for pedestrians/bicyclists

  6. Talking Points • Reducing the number of places pedestrians and cars meet improves overall safety • Additional “Cut Thru’s” reduces the traffic on the main arterial road and improves traffic flow • Incentive based options can help other development issues: • Storm water runoff • High cost of parking lot maintenance • More walkable community

  7. What to consider? • What zoning areas should this be applicable to? • R6-R8 Multi Family? • Residential Office? • General Business? • General Business 2? • Industrial Zones? • Should existing plaza be retro fitted? • Substantial remodeling? • Expansion? • Could this be made incentive based? • Reduce parking required with Bike/Ped access?

  8. Potential Issues to consider • Small parking lots may have difficulty meeting the proposed regulations • The developer of the second lot to develop will have limited design options because an easement location has already been selected for the first lot to develop • How 10-1.11 High Density Development Option (Reserved) and 10-1.12 Stormwater Control Structures (Reserved) from the UDO could be affected or benefitted by this • Addressing the required landscape buffer • Establishing design/construction standards for vehicle interconnections (Driveway)

  9. Potential Wording • Create 13-2 of the UDO to address parking connectivity • Parking Connectivity- Adjacent parking lots shall be interconnected except in the case of existing steep topography between the sites. -Granite Quarry, NC-
