Development Standards—Parking and Circulation | Development Standards
E. Attached dwellings and group residences—Vehicular access and parking location 1. On sites abutting an alley constructed to a width of at least 20 feet, apartment and townhouse development and all group residences except Class I community residential facilities (CRF-I) shall have parking areas placed to the rear of buildings with primary vehicular access via the alley, except when waived by the director due to physical site limitations. 2. When alley access is provided, no additional driveway access from the public street shall be allowed except as necessary to access parking under the structure or for fire protection. 3. When the number of uncovered common parking spaces for attached dwellings and group residences exceed 30 spaces and when there is alley access, no more than 50 percent of these uncovered parking spaces shall be permitted between the street property line and any building, except when authorized by the director due to physical site limitations. F. Exceptions for community residential facilities (CRF) and senior citizen assisted housing 1. The minimum requirement of one off-street parking space per two bedrooms for CRFs and one off-street parking space per two senior citizen assisted housing units may be reduced by up to 50 percent, as determined by the director based on the following considerations: a. Availability of private, convenient transportation services to meet the needs of the CRF residents;
b. Accessibility to and frequency of public transportation; and c. Pedestrian access to health, medical, and shopping facilities. 2. If a CRF facility or senior citizen assisted housing is no longer used for such purposes, additional off-street parking spaces shall be required in compliance with this chapter prior to the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy.

All new single-family residential lots, created pursuant to the provisions of SDC 21.02.060 and located within the R-4 and R-6 zones, shall provide one on-street parking space along the street frontage of each lot within the project’s public or private streets. If, through demonstration of design alternatives considered by the applicant, on-street parking is proven infeasible, required parking may be permitted in alternative locations in the following order of preference: within a common shared space to be managed by the homeowners’ association; or within the driveway that services each new lot.
