Sec. 656.399.30. - Walkways and Pedestrian Connections.

Parking lots shall be designed to allow pedestrians to safely move from their vehicles to the building. On small lots (30 spaces or less), this may be achieved by providing a sidewalk at the perimeter of the lot. On larger lots, corridors within the parking area should channel pedestrians from the car to the perimeter of the lot or to the building. These corridors are delineated by a paving material that differs from that of vehicular areas and are planted to provide shade. (1) Parking Lots containing more than 30 stalls shall have clearly defined pedestrian connections provided between: (a) A public right-of-way and building entrances; (b) Parking lots and building entrances; (c) Pedestrian walkways shall be landscaped with additional shade or ornamental trees equal to an average of one shade tree per 50 linear feet of walkway, unless the walkway is adjacent or included within an existing compliant buffer or frontage planting. The walkway shall not be less than five feet; and (d) Pedestrian connections shall be clearly defined by at least two of the following: (i) Six-inch vertical curb, or (ii) Textured paving, including across vehicular lanes, or (iii) A continuous landscape area at a minimum of three feet wide on at least one side of the walkway. (e) One shade tree shall be planted for each 200 square feet of separate additional landscaped area. (Ord. 2008-192-E, § 3)
