MDR and MU zones are regulated by the University, the Building Code, and the requirements of the CUP.
10.02.040. Reduced Setbacks
(See 10.01.030 if in Infill/Redevelopment Area.)
10.02.050. Reduction in Parking for Dormitory

Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and subject to the following requirements and provisions:
a. Eligibility.
1. In order to be eligible for the reduced parking ratios as permitted herein, the resulting
structure must have dwelling units.
2. This ordinance is not intended nor shall apply to any structure originally constructed as a
single-family or duplex residential structure.
3. Furthermore, all underlying zoning standards shall apply with the exception of unit density.
Density limits may be removed with the PED Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
b.“Developer Option”
. (See 3.04.120.b.)
c. PED Ratio.
The parking ratio per student within “Areas 1 and 2” as identified on the attached

Each property that utilizes this parking reduction shall clearly specify on all
rental contracts or agreements whether or not a vehicle parking space is provided for that

front yard as per 3.04.040.b.1.
Front Yard.
2. Existing parking areas that are located within the required front yard shall be
eliminated and restored to landscaping including the use of trees and shrubs as part of the
CUP.
3. Landscaped areas shall, through the use of trees and shrubs, deter the use of the required front
yard as parking during the winter months when vehicles are not allowed to be parked
overnight on city streets.
Curbing.
4. Landscaped front yards and other required buffer yards shall be delineated from
parking areas by high-back curbing that will further discourage parking in the front yard.
h.Reduced front yard setback CUP.
If the building location is approved by a Conditional Use
Permit with a reduction in the front yard setback up to fifteen (15’) feet; then the twenty (20%)
percent landscaping requirement may be reduced down to as little as ten (10%) percent upon
approval of the Zoning Administrator.

coincide with a quarter mile (1/4) radius, a distance with the strong likelihood of pedestrian activity. When
the boundaries are revisited, if it is determined that this ordinance has been effective but needs more time to
maximize infill then the boundary should not be expanded.
10.02.090. Changes in Ratio.
Qualifying developments cannot reduce their existing parking space ratio except to proportionally allow for
additional on-site buildings or for the restoration of the required yard.
10.02.100. Pedestrian and Vehicle Enhancements.

implemented to facilitate movement to and from campus or businesses.
