Parking

See Section 22-17 of the County Code for all Parking requirements.



Paving



All parking areas and/or sales display/service areas shall be maintained on an all-weather surface of gravel, surface treating, concrete, asphalt, paving blocks, or similar. A specific exception may be granted for certain uses in Agricultural districts.

Note that paving or surface treatment is not required unless mandated by the ADA as per the zoning ordinance, building code, or the ADA itself.

Parking Spaces



When considering parking for a new project:

“The number of parking spaces to be provided for each use shall be sufficient to provide reasonable parking for persons residing on, employed on, or patronizing the premises served.”

Campbell County has removed from its zoning ordinance the parking calculations, designed to require a certain number of parking spaces for given uses. However, providing sufficient parking shall still be required and will be enforced to avoid situations that may present dangerous conditions.

Proposed parking is required to be shown on site plans for review. The calculations below may aid in determining the number of parking spaces needed. These come unchanged from the previous ordinance, but are now simply guidelines.
