Title

Amending Toledo Municipal Code (TMC), Chapters 743, 1103, 1104, 1107 and 1116 relating to the Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee (DPLRIAC) and surface parking lots in the Downtown and Warehouse Districts; and declaring an emergency.

                     

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

In 2019 City Council passed Ordinance 355-19, which amended the Downtown Overlay District regulations to require all downtown surface parking lot owners to follow certain design criteria. The design criteria required lots to be fenced with black wrought iron or black heavy gauge aluminum tube fencing along with brick piers spaced according to parcel size. The text amendment required all surface parking lot owners to comply with the regulation within three (3) years of its passing. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic hit that following year, causing the text amendment to go unenforced.

 

The proposed Text Amendment to TMC Chapters 743, 1103, 1104, 1107, and 1116 seeks to reform these regulations for surface parking lots in both the Downtown Overlay and Warehouse Urban Neighborhood Overlay Districts and create more specific compliance criteria. A version of these reforms and compliance criteria was heard by the Plan Commission on September 14, 2023, however the amendment was deferred to put some more thought into it. Multiple meetings of the DPLRIAC have been conducted to discuss this proposed amendment since that September 2023 hearing.

 

Chapter 1103 Overlay Zoning Districts

The most prominent change in the proposed regulations is the merging of the Downtown Overlay and Warehouse Urban Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) surface parking lot design criteria. In the interest of removing overlap, the Toledo Warehouse District Architecture Review Committee (TWDARC) has agreed to give up its authority to review surface parking lots in the Warehouse UNO District to the Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee (DPLRIAC). The two boards currently maintain extremely similar design criteria within their separate sections. This amendment removes the bulk of TMC§1103.1519, within the Warehouse UNO District regulations, and replaces it with references to TMC Sections 1103.0207, 1103.0208, 1103.0209, 1103.0210, 1103.0211, and 1103.0212, within the Downtown Overlay District regulations. In turn, those sections within the Downtown Overlay District regulations now state that they apply within both the Downtown Overlay and Warehouse UNO districts.

 

The proposed combined design criteria would break surface parking lots into two categories: accessory and non-accessory. Accessory parking would be defined as:

 

“Automobile parking as a subordinate use and of a nature incidental to but supportive of the principal use, building or structure. Accessory parking is characterized as a free service for employees and/or customers of the principal use, building or structure.”

 

Non-Accessory parking would be defined as:

 

“Automobile parking as a principal rather than a subordinate land use that is neither accessory to a specific use nor code-required. A parking lot that provides both accessory parking for a specific use and regular fee parking for people not connected to the use is also classified as a Non-Accessory Parking use. A parking lot that contains parking spaces which are leased to an entity other than a tenant of the property owner, whether those leased spaces could be considered accessory to a specific use or not, shall be classified as a Non-Accessory Parking use. A parking lot containing parking spaces which fall under an alternative parking plan approved pursuant to Section 1107.1400 may be classified instead as an Accessory Parking use. Non-Accessory Parking is generally characterized as a commercial service.”

 

Surface parking lots which fall under the accessory parking definition would be grandfathered while those falling under non-accessory would be required to comply with the design criteria on certain dates depending on its location. Three Zones of Compliance are proposed, all of which are shown on Exhibit “C” attached. Non-accessory surface parking lots within Zone 1 would be required to comply by April 1, 2027, while those in Zone 2 would be required to comply by April 1, 2028 and those in Zone 3 would be required to comply by April 1, 2029.

 

Other changes are proposed to clarify regulations, update references, or specify the role and makeup of the Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee (DPLRIAC). Of note is TMC§1103.0207(B)(6), which permits the required brick piers/columns to encroach up to eighteen inches (18”) within the public right-of-way subject to certain criteria including the approval of an encroachment permit through the Division of Traffic Management.

 

Chapter 743 Parking Places and Enforcement

Chapter 743 requires “Public Parking Places”, or parking places in or upon which a business is conducted of storing motor vehicles where the owner or person storing such vehicle is charged a fee, to obtain an annual license from the Division of Taxation and Treasury. The definition of public parking place is proposed to be changed to make it similar to that of non-accessory parking discussed above. This annual license expires each year on April 1, which coincides with the compliance dates listed above. Public parking place / non-accessory parking lot owners will be unable to obtain a license through this chapter unless they comply with the compliance timelines of Chapter 1103 and if they continue to operate without a license, our Zoning Compliance Specialists will enforce. Other minor changes are proposed to make the chapter consistent with the proposed changes to Chapter 1103.

 

Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee (DPLRIAC)

The Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee (DPLRIAC) currently has the authority to review modifications and/or waivers of the design criteria. The proposed amendment seeks to also grant the DPLRIAC the authority to review extensions of the compliance timelines as well, provided the subject surface parking lot owner has shown diligent effort to comply with the requirements.

 

Other Changes to TMC Part 11 Planning and Zoning Code

At the request of members of the DPLRIAC, an amendment to TMC§1107.0102 is proposed to clarify when non-conforming non-accessory parking lots are required to come into full compliance with Chapter 1107 Parking, Loading and Access. The onus of this issue came from the requirement of TMC§1107.1911 Dimensions which requires all off street parking spaces to have a minimum stall width of nine feet (9’). Most non-accessory parking lots in the downtown and warehouse districts currently have stall widths of eight and a half feet (8.5’). Among other things, this proposed amendment will permit non-accessory parking lot owners to maintain their nonconforming parking lots, including resurfacing, patching, or restriping which does not result in an alteration in the configuration or dimension of any parking or loading space, maneuvering area, aisle, or driveway, so long as such maintenance does not increase the parking lot’s nonconformity.

 

A change to the definitions is proposed which replaces the term “Commercial Parking” with “Non-Accessory Parking”, as they are essentially referring to the same use. The definition of accessory parking is added in the amendment as well.

 

The last notable change is to TMC§1107.0903, currently called Commercial Parking but proposed to be renamed to Non-Accessory Parking. The section currently requires commercial parking to provide a bicycle parking area equivalent to one parking space, or two parking spaces if the facility has more than 200 parking spaces. The space must contain lockers, hard covers or shells, or other similar structures or devices in which bicycles may be individually covered and locked. It was noted by members of the DPLRIAC that this may be overly burdensome for a non-accessory parking lot owner which have small lots of, for example, ten (10) spaces. Staff recommends that these bicycle parking areas be permitted within the right-of-way subject to an encroachment permit approved by the Division of Traffic Management. Many cities currently permit or promote bicycle parking “parklets”, taking the place of on-street parking spaces similar to other outdoor dining areas approved downtown.

 

One of the goals under the build theme is Quality Design. Numerous planning studies have explored the connection between neighborhood perception and the conditions or quality of existing buildings in an area. The general consensus is that design matters. Thoughtful design can help establish unique areas that contribute to placemaking. This is the idea that a well-designed space can create an experience that we enjoy visiting. The proposed text amendment seeks to contribute to the placemaking of the downtown and warehouse districts by imposing design standards upon non-accessory parking lots. This is consistent with the Forward Toledo Plan. The proposed amendment is also consistent with the Forward Toledo Plan in that it provides opportunities to expand right-of-way use in the form of permitting parking lot owners to install bicycle parking areas within the right-of-way.

743.01.                     Definitions.

For the purposes of this chapter the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

(a)                     "Parking place" means any garage or other building or any plot, piece or parcel of land in or upon which motor vehicles, tractors or trailers are stored or parked.

(b)                     "Public parking place" means any parking place in or upon which a business is conducted of storing motor vehicles where the owner or person storing such vehicle is charged a fee. Public parking spaces are generally characterized as a principal rather than a subordinate land use. A parking place that provides both accessory parking for a specific use, building or structure and regular fee parking for people not connected to the use, building or structure is also classified as a public parking place. A parking place that contains parking spaces which are leased to an entity other than a tenant of the property owner, whether those leased spaces could be considered subordinate to a specific use or not, shall be classified as a public parking place.

                     SECTION 3.  That Toledo Municipal Code, Chapter 1103, which reads as follows:

 

CHAPTER 1103
Overlay Zoning Districts

 

1103.0200 -DO, Downtown Overlay District.

 

1103.0201 Purpose.

The -DO, Downtown Overlay district is intended to provide a review process for proposed physical changes to structures within the Central Business District of the City and adjacent areas in order to evaluate the proposals in relation to the approved plan for the area.

 

1103.0202 Definitions.

The definitions of this section are to be used solely for the purpose of interpreting and administering the downtown overlay provisions of this Zoning Code.

A.                     “Demolition.” For the purposes of the downtown overlay provisions, "demolition" means the removal or tearing down of all or part of a structure.

B.                     “Physical change.” For the purpose of the downtown overlay provisions, "physical change" means any work such as alteration, remodeling, new construction or renovation of the exterior of a structure for which the total cost would be more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) or twenty-five percent (25%) of the appraised value of the building, as listed by the County Auditor, whichever is the lesser amount. In computing the total cost, the cost of any such work accumulated in any three-year period shall be considered.

C.                     “Reasonable economic use.” For the purpose of the downtown overlay provisions, "reasonable economic use" means a use for a structure or property that will produce a reasonable return that is economically viable. In a situation involving a property or structure that is not income-producing, reasonable economic use means that the property structure can be put to a reasonable beneficial use in a reasonable period of time based upon all relevant criteria set forth in Section 1111.0904.

D.                     “Surface Parking Lots.” For purposes of the downtown overlay provisions. "Surface Parking Lots" means any nonstructural property used for temporary storage of vehicles upon real estate which is not part of any street, highway or alley. “Surface Parking Lots” shall not include parking garages.

 

1103.0203 Creation and Boundaries.

The -DO District is created as an overlay district to be applied to land within and adjacent to the Central Business District as the City Council designates by ordinance. The boundaries of the -DO District are depicted on the Official Zoning Map. A map of the boundaries and boundary description are also presented in Appendix A.

 

1103.0204 Effect of -DO Designation.

The -DO District regulations apply in combination with underlying base zoning district regulations and all other applicable standards of this Zoning Code. When -DO District standards conflict with the underlying base zoning district standards or other regulations of this Zoning Code, the regulations of the -DO District will always govern. When no special -DO District standards are specified, all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Code will govern.

 

1103.0205 Design Guidelines.

These guidelines are derived largely from the Design Guidelines chapter found in 2002 Downtown Toledo Master Plan, as adopted by Ordinance 280-02.

 

A.                     Rehabilitation of existing structures. Wherever possible, examples of the City's traditional commercial, civic and residential architecture should be preserved, renovated and where appropriate, adaptively reused. Specifically:

1.                     Where removed a cornice or fascia should be restored to reemphasize the original design intent of the structure and should be designed in proportion to the overall mass of the building.

2.                     The building's original wall surface and detailing should be restored whenever possible and all exposed mechanical equipment, unused electrical apparatus or sign supports should be removed.

3.                     Special attention should be given to the removal of storefront surface materials that will extend onto the piers and walls of the upper facade.

4.                     If new materials are to be used for buildings that are architecturally undistinguished, they should be selected to coordinate with neighboring structures and to complement the design of the storefront.

5.                     The proportions of restored windows and the rhythm of the window pattern should replicate the original facade design as closely as possible.

6.                     Display windows of a storefront should never be filled or covered except where there are residential uses abutting the sidewalk on the ground floor.

7.                     On traditional buildings, recessed entrances are encouraged and where entrances are flush with display windows, awnings can be used to give greater definition to the storefront and provide overhead protection. Awnings should be attached directly to the building without requiring a support column on the sidewalk, have a minimum clearance of eight feet and a maximum clearance of 12 feet above the sidewalk.

8.                     Loading and service entrances should be located at the rear and side of the building.

9.                     Trash containers, service and storage areas should be screened and maintained. In larger developments, trash collection, service and loading areas should be separated from main circulation and parking areas.

 

B.                     New Development Infill.

1.                     The front setback of new development should replicate the setback of existing buildings to create a consistently developed edge, reinforce the City center's urban development pattern and enhance pedestrian orientation.

2.                     There should be no spacing between buildings except a mid-block pedestrian walkway would be allowed.

3.                     Building height and massing should be compatible with existing development. The building mass should be broken into increments that correspond to the scale and massing of existing buildings through the use of such devices as setbacks and variable roof heights.

4.                     The location and articulation of building entrances should complement those of existing buildings and should be oriented to street frontages.

5.                     Street facades of new infill development should be organized into:

1.                     ground-level pedestrian presentation; and

2.                     the upper architecture, with strong horizontal elements separating the two.

 

C.                     Major New Development Over 25,000 Square Feet. The principal challenge in designing major new downtown development projects is the successful incorporation of large-scale and/or high- rise structures into the existing context of smaller- scale buildings.

1.                     Unarticulated forms and masses should be avoided in new larger-scale development. Instead, the building should be broken into increments that relate to the human scale by using such devices as fenestration, architectural detailing, variable setbacks and rooflines to define a sequence of bays and provide transitions in height and scale. Multi-block mega-structures that erase the street grid and weaken the basic urban block structure are discouraged.

2.                     Blank wall areas at sidewalk edge may not extend for more than 25 horizontal feet without articulation such as a window, glass-covered display area, entryway or recessed area.

3.                     To counter high-rise impacts the use of reflective glass at ground level should be avoided so that the building base meets the ground in a manner that is more inviting to the public. Controls designed to preserve solar access to streets and public spaces and measures that help minimize wind tunnel and down draft effects may also be considered.

4.                     Maintain pedestrian connections and view corridors along traditional street rights of way when a project spans several blocks (mega-structures) providing for a sequence of public spaces and walkways that are linked to the street grid.

D.                     Facade Materials and Colors. See Section 1109.0500 for building facade material and color standards.

E.                     Streetscape.

1.                     Street trees to the satisfaction of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, light standards, street signs, etc., should be placed so that the trees are between the street lanes and any pedestrian walkway. Moveable seating is preferred to seating that is permanently anchored to the sidewalk.

2.                     Trees should be spaced at distances so that each tree can attain the appropriate form and shape at maturity. This could range between 30 and 40 foot spacing for large trees and 15 to 25 feet for smaller trees. Do not plant trees directly in front of entrances or other significant architectural features.

3.                     Any walkway or public spaces specifically designed to enhance pedestrian movement should not use plain asphaltic pavements for the walking surface or use tiles or similar surfaces that can become slippery when wet.

4.                     Existing and future transit stop locations should have ample space for patron amenities and waiting.

F.                     Building Identification Signs. Signage shall comply with Part 13, Title 9, Chapter 1387, Signs Permitted in Zoning Districts, and the following regulations:

1.                     Each building within the -DOD is limited to one (1) Building Identification Sign per building façade, with a maximum of two (2) Building Identification Signs.

2.                     Additional building signs, including projecting, marquee, fascia or monument, shall be limited to tenants and/or occupants located in the building Such signs shall be located between the top of the first floor door or window lintel and the second floor windowsill. Unless architectural treatments and/or features preclude the installation of such signs, which then shall be reviewed and approved by the Plan Director.

3.                     No sign or part of a sign shall be located above the parapet of any facade. Roof mounted signs are prohibited.

4.                     Projecting signs are not allowed as Building Identification Signs.

G.                     Exemptions. The Plan Commission may modify and/or waive all or parts of the design standards in this section for site when, in the opinion of the Plan Commission, the design constitutes a unique, one of a kind building that meets the intent of these design standards. The Plan Commission may request the City Historic District Commission to review and comment.

 

1103.0206 Relationship to Comprehensive Plan.

Review of proposals for physical change for demolition must be based on the Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Toledo Master Plan approved through Ordinance 280-02, the CBD Architectural Survey Report (1986), and any other additions and amendments thereto as may be approved by the Plan Commission and City Council.

 

1103.0207 Special Design Standards - Surface Parking Lots.

Parking should be limited to structured facilities and on street parking. Parking structures located on pedestrian routes should accommodate streetscape related improvements such as entertainment, storefronts/retail, and/or landscaped treatments to soften the structure. Existing Surface Parking Lots, public or private, permitted by this Code shall be subject to the following standards:

A.                     Surface Parking Lots that are permitted by this Code or are created after the effective date of this Section shall comply with the standards set forth herein prior to storage or parking occurring on the Surface Parking Lot.

B.                     Surface Parking Lots in the Downtown Overlay district shall be bordered along public rights of way by black wrought iron or black heavy gauge aluminum tube fencing that is at least four feet high with brick or thin brick columns that are at least 4'6" high and at least 18'' wide or greater.

Brick columns shall meet the requirements for brick as defined in Sec. 1109.0502.A.Columns shall be constructed using earth tone colors. On primary streets, spacing of columns shall be at least every 24' for small lots (120' x 120' and under) and at least every 60' for large lots (with frontage of more than 120').On non-primary streets, spacing of columns may be spaced no more than 90' apart. The Plan Director may approve greater distance spacing of columns where recommended by Toledo Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee. Measurement as to placement of columns, new entrances, and exits will take into consideration turning radius needed for motor vehicles as well as two-way traffic.

Fencing may connect to adjacent buildings rather than installing a pillar in instances where such connections are practical and do not detract from the purposes of this Chapter.

The fences shall be clear of signage or other obstructions.

The specifications for the fencing are as follows:

 

 

a.                     Sections: Standard sections are 6' wide.

b.                     Pickets: Commercial ¾" square x .055

c.                     Spacing between Pickets: Commercial standard 3-5/8" and optional 1-1/2"

d.                     Fasteners: Stainless steel

e.                     Horizontal Rails: Commercial 1-1/4" x 1-3/8" with .088'' side walls and .065'' top walls

f.                     Posts: Commercial 2'' square x .080, or .125; 2-1/2" square x .100; and 3" square x.125

g.                     Alloy: High-strength Ultrum™ 6005-T5 alloy, min. strength 35,000 PSI Finish: Powercoat. When applied, Powercoat is twice the thickness and hardness of a typical acrylic, baked enamel or "wet paint" finish, making it more durable, fade-resistant and scratch-resistant than other coatings.

h.                     Color: Black

C.                     Parking spaces in Surface Parking Lots in the Downtown Overlay District that abut fencing required by this Section shall have wheel stops of 4" high or a continuous 4 inch concrete inside the fence placed as to prevent cars from hitting or damaging the fence or columns.

D.                     Guard rails, bollards, chains, wires, ropes or similar type barriers are not permitted on any Surface Parking Lot in the Downtown Overlay District - even inside the black metal fences unless they are to protect electrical boxes/ conduit, drains, honor boxes, machines, or large investments within the lot.

E.                     Lighting fixtures located on the brick columns are encouraged, but not required.

F.                     Landscaping is encouraged but not required. Landscaping shall not be a substitute or replacement for the Fencing & Columns required above.

G.                     The Downtown Overlay Map on the following page indicates the primary and non-primary streets and the compliance timetable (See Sections 743.05 and 743.06). Primary streets are highlighted in the map. All other streets are considered non-primary for purposes of this Chapter.

E.                     These provisions apply to all properties within the Downtown Overlay District with the exception of the area bounded by Woodruff Avenue, Cherry Street, Spielbusch Avenue, Southard Street, 12th Street, Jackson Street and 13th Street.

 

1103.0208 Other Provisions.

It is the intent of Section 1103.0207 of this Code to provide for uniform standards for Surface Parking Lots in the Downtown Overlay District. Nothing in Section 1103.0207 should be interpreted as excusing or superseding any and all other applicable Code Provisions governing parking except to the extent that any other provision could be interpreted as allowing a lesser standard. To the extent that any other design standard in the Code conflict with the design standards set forth in Section 1103.0207, the provisions of 1103.0207 shall control.

 

1103.0209 Compliance.

1103.1519 Design Standards - Surface Parking Lots.

Parking should be limited to structured facilities and on street parking. Parking structures located on pedestrian routes should accommodate streetscape related improvements such as entertainment, storefronts/retail and/or landscaped treatments to soften the structure. Existing Surface Parking Lots, public or private, permitted by the City of Toledo shall be subject to the following standards:

Surface Parking Lots shall be bordered along public rights of way by black wrought iron or black heavy gauge aluminum tube fencing that is at least four feet high with brick or thin brick columns that are at least 4'6" high and at least 18'' wide or greater. Brick columns shall meet the requirements for brick as defined in Sec. 1109.0502 <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/toledo/latest/toledo_oh/0-0-0-160596>.A. Columns shall be constructed using earth tone colors. On primary streets, spacing of columns shall be at least every 24' for small lots (120' x 120' and under) and at least every 60' for large lots (with frontage of more than 120'). On non-primary streets, spacing of columns may be spaced no more than 90' apart. The Plan Director may approve greater distance spacing of columns where recommended by Toledo Downtown Parking Lot Review and Improvement Advisory Committee. Measurement as to placement of columns, new entrances, and exits will take into consideration turning radius needed for motor vehicles as well as two-way traffic. Fencing may connect to adjacent buildings rather than installing a pillar in instances where such connections are practical and do not detract from the site.

The fences shall be clear of signage or other obstructions. The specifications for the fencing are as follows:

 

 

                     Sections: Standard sections are 6' wide.

                     Pickets: Commercial ¾" square x .055

                     Spacing between Pickets: Commercial standard 3-5/8" and optional 1-1/2"

                     Fasteners: Stainless steel

                     Horizontal Rails: Commercial 1-1/4" x 1-3/8" with .088'' side walls and .065'' top walls

                     Posts: Commercial 2'' square x .080, or .125; 2-1/2" square x .100; and 3" square x.125

                     Alloy: High-strength Ultrum™ 6005-T5 alloy, min. strength 35,000 PSI Finish: Powercoat. When applied, Powercoat is twice the thickness and hardness of a typical acrylic, baked enamel or "wet paint" finish, making it more durable, fade-resistant and scratch-resistant than other coatings.

                     Color: Black

   Parking spaces in Surface Parking Lots that abut fencing shall have wheel stops of 4" high or a continuous 4 inch concrete inside the fence placed as to prevent cars from hitting or damaging the fence or columns.

   Guard rails, bollards, chains, wires, ropes or similar type barriers are not permitted on any Surface Parking Lot in the Downtown Overlay District - even inside the black metal fences unless they are to protect electrical boxes/ conduit, drains, honor boxes, machines, or large investments within the lot.

   Lighting fixtures located on the brick columns are encouraged, but not required.

   Landscaping is encouraged but not required. Landscaping shall not be a substitute or replacement for the Fencing & Columns required above.

 

Is hereby repealed.

 

                     SECTION 4.  That a new Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 1103 shall read as follows:

 

CHAPTER 1103
Overlay Zoning Districts

 

1103.0200 -DO, Downtown Overlay District.

1103.0201 Purpose.

The -DO, Downtown Overlay district is intended to provide a review process for proposed physical changes to structures within the Central Business District of the City and adjacent areas in order to evaluate the proposals in relation to the approved plan for the area.

1103.0202 Definitions.

The definitions of this section are to be used solely for the purpose of interpreting and administering the downtown overlay provisions of this Zoning Code.

A.                     “Demolition.” For the purposes of the downtown overlay provisions, "demolition" means the removal or tearing down of all or part of a structure.

B.                     “Physical change.” For the purpose of the downtown overlay provisions, "physical change" means any work such as alteration, remodeling, new construction or renovation of the exterior of a structure for which the total cost would be more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) or twenty-five percent (25%) of the appraised value of the building, as listed by the County Auditor, whichever is the lesser amount. In computing the total cost, the cost of any such work accumulated in any three-year period shall be considered.

C.                     “Reasonable economic use.” For the purpose of the downtown overlay provisions, "reasonable economic use" means a use for a structure or property that will produce a reasonable return that is economically viable. In a situation involving a property or structure that is not income-producing, reasonable economic use means that the property structure can be put to a reasonable beneficial use in a reasonable period of time based upon all relevant criteria set forth in Section 1111.0904.

D.                     “Surface Parking Lots.” For purposes of the downtown overlay provisions. "Surface Parking Lots" means any nonstructural property used for temporary parking or storage of vehicles upon real estate which is not part of any street, highway or alley. “Surface Parking Lots” shall not include parking garages.

 

1103.0203 Creation and Boundaries.

The -DO District is created as an overlay district to be applied to land within and adjacent to the Central Business District as the City Council designates by ordinance. The boundaries of the -DO District are depicted on the Official Zoning Map. A map of the boundaries and boundary description are also presented in Appendix A.

 

1103.0204 Effect of -DO Designation.

The -DO District regulations apply in combination with underlying base zoning district regulations and all other applicable standards of this Zoning Code. When -DO District standards conflict with the underlying base zoning district standards or other regulations of this Zoning Code, the regulations of the -DO District will always govern. When no special -DO District standards are specified, all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Code will govern.

 

1103.0205 Design Guidelines.

These guidelines are derived largely from the Design Guidelines chapter found in the 2002 Downtown Toledo Master Plan, as adopted by Ordinance 280-02.

H.                     Rehabilitation of existing structures. Wherever possible, examples of the City's traditional commercial, civic and residential architecture should be preserved, renovated and where appropriate, adaptively reused. Specifically:

1.                     Where removed a cornice or fascia should be restored to reemphasize the original design intent of the structure and should be designed in proportion to the overall mass of the building.

2.                     The building's original wall surface and detailing should be restored whenever possible and all exposed mechanical equipment, unused electrical apparatus or sign supports should be removed.

1.                     Special attention should be given to the removal of storefront surface materials that will extend onto the piers and walls of the upper facade.

2.                     If new materials are to be used for buildings that are architecturally undistinguished, they should be selected to coordinate with neighboring structures and to complement the design of the storefront.

3.                     The proportions of restored windows and the rhythm of the window pattern should replicate the original facade design as closely as possible.

4.                     Display windows of a storefront should never be filled or covered except where there are residential uses abutting the sidewalk on the ground floor.

5.                     On traditional buildings, recessed entrances are encouraged and where entrances are flush with display windows, awnings can be used to give greater definition to the storefront and provide overhead protection. Awnings should be attached directly to the building without requiring a support column on the sidewalk, have a minimum clearance of eight (8) feet and a maximum clearance of twelve (12) feet above the sidewalk.

6.                     Loading and service entrances should be located at the rear and side of the building.

7.                     Trash containers, service and storage areas should be screened and maintained. In larger developments, trash collection, service and loading areas should be separated from main circulation and parking areas.

 

I.                     New Development Infill.

1.                     The front setback of new development should replicate the setback of existing buildings to create a consistently developed edge, reinforce the City center's urban development pattern and enhance pedestrian orientation.

2.                     There should be no spacing between buildings except a mid-block pedestrian walkway would be allowed.

3.                     Building height and massing should be compatible with existing development. The building mass should be broken into increments that correspond to the scale and massing of existing buildings through the use of such devices as setbacks and variable roof heights.

4.                     The location and articulation of building entrances should complement those of existing buildings and should be oriented to street frontages.

5.                     Street facades of new infill development should be organized into:

1.                     ground-level pedestrian presentation; and

2.                     the upper architecture, with strong horizontal elements separating the two.

 

J.                     Major New Development Over 25,000 Square Feet. The principal challenge in designing major new downtown development projects is the successful incorporation of large-scale and/or high- rise structures into the existing context of smaller- scale buildings.

1.                     Unarticulated forms and masses should be avoided in new larger-scale development. Instead, the building should be broken into increments that relate to the human scale by using such devices as fenestration, architectural detailing, variable setbacks and rooflines to define a sequence of bays and provide transitions in height and scale. Multi-block mega-structures that erase the street grid and weakens the basic urban block structure are discouraged.

2.                     Blank wall areas at sidewalk edge may not extend for more than 25 horizontal feet without articulation such as a window, glass-covered display area, entryway or recessed area.

3.                     To counter high-rise impacts the use of reflective glass at ground level should be avoided so that the building base meets the ground in a manner that is more inviting to the public. Controls designed to preserve solar access to streets and public spaces and measures that help minimize wind tunnel and down draft effects may also be considered.

4.                     Maintain pedestrian connections and view corridors along traditional street rights of way when a project spans several blocks (mega-structures) providing for a sequence of public spaces and walkways that are linked to the street grid.

K.                     Facade Materials and Colors. See Section 1109.0500 for building facade material and color standards.

L.                     Streetscape.

1.                     Street trees to the satisfaction of the Division of Urban Beautification, light standards, street signs, etc., should be placed so that the trees are between the street lanes and any pedestrian walkway. Moveable seating is preferred to seating that is permanently anchored to the sidewalk.

2.                     Trees should be spaced at distances so that each tree can attain the appropriate form and shape at maturity. This could range between 30 and 40 foot spacing for large trees and 15 to 25 feet for smaller trees. Do not plant trees directly in front of entrances or other significant architectural features.

3.                     Any walkway or public spaces specifically designed to enhance pedestrian movement should not use plain asphaltic pavements for the walking surface or use tiles or similar surfaces that can become slippery when wet.

4.                     Existing and future transit stop locations should have ample space for patron amenities and waiting.

M.                     Building Identification Signs. Signage shall comply with Part 13, Title 9, Chapter 1387, Signs Permitted in Zoning Districts, and the following regulations:

1.                     Each building within the -DOD is limited to one (1) Building Identification Sign per building façade, with a maximum of two (2) Building Identification Signs.

2.                     Additional building signs, including projecting, marquee, fascia or monument, shall be limited to tenants and/or occupants located in the building Such signs shall be located between the top of the first floor door or window lintel and the second floor windowsill. Unless architectural treatments and/or features preclude the installation of such signs, which then shall be reviewed and approved by the Plan Director.

3.                     No sign or part of a sign shall be located above the parapet of any facade. Roof mounted signs are prohibited.

4.                     Projecting signs are not allowed as Building Identification Signs.

N.                     Exemptions. The Plan Commission may exempt all or parts of the design standards in this section for commissioned buildings by an architect for a site when, in the opinion of the Plan Commission, the design constitutes a unique, one of a kind building that meets the intent of these design standards. The Plan Commission may request the City Historic District Commission to review and comment.

 

1103.0206 Relationship to Comprehensive Plan.

Review of proposals for physical change or demolition must be based on the Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Toledo Master Plan approved through Ordinance 280-02, the CBD Architectural Survey Report (1986), and any other additions and amendments thereto as may be approved by the Plan Commission and City Council.

 

1103.0207 Special Design Standards - Surface Parking Lots.

                     SECTION 7.  That Toledo Municipal Code, Chapter 1107, which reads as follows:

 

CHAPTER 1107
Parking, Loading and Access

 

1107.0102 Applicability.

   A.   New Development. The parking, loading and access standards of this chapter apply to all new buildings constructed and all new uses established in all zoning districts.

   B.   Expansions and Substantial Modifications. The parking, loading and access standards of this chapter apply when an existing structure or use is expanded or enlarged, whether through the addition of dwelling units, floor area, seating capacity, employees or other units of measurement used for establishing off-street parking and loading requirements.

      1.    Additional off-street parking and loading spaces to meet minimum ratios are required only to serve the enlarged or expanded area, not the entire building or use.

      2.    If the number of parking spaces on a site at the time of expansion or substantial modification exceeds the maximum ratios of this chapter, no Alternative Parking Plan approval will be required, but no additional spaces will be allowed, except through the Alternative Parking Plan provisions of Section 1107.1400 <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/toledo/latest/toledo_oh/0-0-0-105065>.

   C.   Requirements for Change in Use. If a change in use causes an increase in the required number of parking, stacking, or loading spaces, 80 percent of such additional spaces shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of this Zoning Code; except that if the change in use would require an increase of less than 50 percent in the required number of parking spaces or fewer than five parking spaces, no additional parking shall be required.

   D.   Applicability in the Event of Damage or Destruction of Existing Use.

      1.    When a conforming or nonconforming building or use that does not comply with current off-street parking and/or loading regulations is damaged and the cost of reconstruction does not exceed 75 percent of the assessed value at the time such damage occurred, the building may be constructed with the same number of parking and loading spaces that existed at the time of damage or destruction. However, when the cost of reconstruction exceeds 75 percent of the assessed value at the time such damage occurred, off-street parking and loading spaces must be provided in the amount required for new construction on the date the application for reconstruction is approved.

      2.    Notwithstanding the preceding, within a Historic (-HO) or Pedestrian-Oriented (-PO) Overlay Zoning District, any damaged building or use of 5,000 square feet or less that is nonconforming only in the amount of off-street parking and/or loading space that is provided, may be reconstructed (if authorized by Sections 1114.0205 <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/toledo/latest/toledo_oh/0-0-0-107192>C. or 1114.0305 <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/toledo/latest/toledo_oh/0-0-0-107219>B., without providing additional off-street parking and/or loading.

 

1107.0903 Commercial Parking.

A Commercial Parking facility must provide bicycle parking area equivalent to one parking space, or two parking spaces if the facility has more than 200 parking spaces. The space must contain lockers, hard covers or shells, or other similar structures or devices in which bicycles may be individually covered and locked.

 

Is hereby repealed.

 

                     SECTION 8.  that a new Toledo Municipal Code, Chapter 1107 shall read as follows:

 

CHAPTER 1107

E.                     Non-Accessory Parking Lots. Full compliance with the parking, loading, and access standards of this chapter shall apply to nonconforming non-accessory parking lots when the configuration or dimension of any on-site parking or loading space, maneuvering area, aisle, or driveway is altered. Maintenance of non-accessory parking lots, including resurfacing, patching, or restriping which does not result in an alteration in the configuration or dimension of any parking or loading space, maneuvering area, aisle, or driveway, is permitted by this chapter so long as such maintenance does not increase the parking lot’s nonconformity

 

1107.0903 Non-Accessory Parking.

A Non-Accessory Parking facility must provide bicycle parking area equivalent to one parking space, or two parking spaces if the facility has more than 200 parking spaces. The space must contain lockers, hard covers or shells, or other similar structures or devices in which bicycles may be individually covered and locked. Such bicycle parking area may be installed within the right-of-way subject to the following:

                     An encroachment permit shall be approved through the Division of Traffic Management.

                     Bicycle parking spots as outlined in Section 1107.0902 shall not interfere with right-of-way pedestrian movement. A clear Pedestrian zone of at least 6’ shall be maintained, with no minor pinch-point (such as around a utility pole or tree) below 4’ wide. Bicycle parking areas may take the place of an on-street parking space when protective bollards, wheel stops, or the like are installed subject to approval by the Division of Traffic Management.

 

                     SECTION 9.  That Toledo Municipal Code, Chapter 1116 which reads as follows:

 

CHAPTER 1116
Terminology

 

1116.0234 Parking, Commercial.

Facilities that provide parking that is not accessory to a specific use. A fee may or may not be charged. A facility that provides both accessory parking for a specific use and regular fee parking for people not connected to the use is also classified as a Commercial Parking use. Vehicles located on the property must have valid license plates associated with and displayed on each individual vehicle. All activities associated with vehicle sales or advertisements for vehicles sales are not permitted at the facility. A facility that provides parking or storage of vehicles without valid license plates is considered Vehicle Storage.

 

Is here by repealed.

 

                     SECTION 10.  That a new Toledo Municipal Code, Chapter 1116 shall read as follows:

 

CHAPTER 1116
Terminology

 

1116.0234 Parking, Accessory & Non-Accessory.

A.                     Parking, Non-Accessory

Automobile parking as a principal rather than a subordinate land use that is neither accessory to a specific use nor code-required. A parking lot that provides both accessory parking for a specific use and regular fee parking for people not connected to the use is also classified as a Non-Accessory Parking use. A parking lot that contains parking spaces which are leased to an entity other than a tenant of the property owner, whether those leased spaces could be considered accessory to a specific use or not, shall be classified as a Non-Accessory Parking use. A parking lot containing parking spaces which fall under an alternative parking plan approved pursuant to Section 1107.1400 may be classified instead as an Accessory Parking use. Non-Accessory Parking is generally characterized as a commercial service.

B.                     Parking, Accessory

Automobile parking as a subordinate use and of a nature incidental to but supportive of the principal use, building or structure. Accessory parking is characterized as a free service for employees and/or customers of the principal use, building or structure.
