B-1.1.2.2.3 Parking for Family Housing. For existing family housing with 13 or more
units per building within a controlled perimeter or where there is access control to the
parking area, parking within the required standoff distances may be allowed where
designated parking spaces are assigned for specific residents or residences. Do not
label assigned parking spaces with names or ranks of the residents. Do not encroach
upon existing standoff distances where the existing standoff distances are less than the
required (conventional construction or effective in accordance with Table B-1) standoff
distances. For example, where existing designated parking is only 8 meters (27 feet)
from existing family housing, that parking may be retained, but additional parking will not
be allowed closer than 8 meters (27 feet.)
B-1.1.3
Parking of Emergency, Command and Operations Support Vehicles.
Emergency and command vehicles, as well as operations support vehicles may be
parked closer to inhabited buildings than allowed in Table B-1 if access to them is
controlled or as long as they are never removed from a restricted access area, but they
may not be parked closer than the distance associated with unobstructed spaces as
established in Standard 3. In addition, where standard operation of buildings includes
parking emergency vehicles inside them, such as fire stations, those emergency
vehicles may be parked inside the buildings where necessary as long as access to the
building is controlled.
B-1.1.4
Parking of Vehicles Undergoing Maintenance. Vehicles undergoing
maintenance may be parked inside maintenance buildings closer to inhabited areas of
those buildings than allowed in Table B-1 while they are undergoing repair where
operationally necessary.
B-1.1.5
Adjacent Existing Buildings. Where projects for new and existing
buildings designed in accordance with these standards include locating parking,
roadways, or trash containers near existing inhabited buildings that are not required to
meet these standards, the standoff distances from parking, roadways, and trash
containers to the buildings that are not required to comply with these standards should
comply with the applicable standoff distances in Table B-1. Where those standoff
distances are not available, do not allow the parking, roadways, and trash containers to
encroach on existing standoff distances to the parking, roadways, and trash containers
associated with those existing buildings. For example, if existing parking associated
with an existing inhabited building that does not have to comply with these standards is
10 meters from the building, do not allow new parking and roadways associated with a
new building closer than 10 meters from the existing building.
B-1.1.6
Parking and Roadway Projects. Where practical, all roadway and
parking area projects should comply with the standoff distances from inhabited buildings
in Table B-1. Where parking or roadways that are within the standoff distances in Table
B-1 from existing buildings are being constructed, expanded, or relocated, do not allow
those parking areas and roadways to encroach on the existing standoff distances of any
existing inhabited building. That applies even where such projects are not associated
with a building renovation, modification, repair, or restoration requiring compliance with
these standards.
