9. Parking & Driveways
9.1. Purpose And Intent Parking lots and similar facilities are necessary elements in the urban environment. However, the provision of parking facilities must be regulated in order to avoid negative impacts such as:
Increased storm water volume and velocity,
•
Increased surface pollutants,
•
Increased surface level heat and glare,
•
• Reduction in the efficiency of the connecting street system, and
• Reduction in the operations of the surrounding pedestrian and bicycle network.
The purpose of this chapter is to ensure the adequate provision of parking in Wake Forest without degrading the urban or natural environment.
9.2. Applicability The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all new and expanded development, as well as any changes in use. The notable exception shall be any Planned Unit Development District, which is intended to create its own parking standards through the PUD Concept Plan.
