and concentration restriction allows just one (1) cottage food operation in each apartment or multi-family development. B. Parking and Loading Requirements. For single family homes, parking spaces in the property's garage or carport (if present) and driveway shall be available for the actual parking demand created by the use, including parking spaces for the applicant's own vehicles, parking spaces for employees if employees are present, and one parking space for customers if direct sales on the property are proposed. For apartments and multifamily developments, the cottage food operator's designated space(s) shall be available for the actual parking demand created by the use, including parking spaces for the applicant's own vehicles, parking spaces for employees if employees are present, and one parking space for customers if direct sales on the property are proposed. On-site parking in an apartment complex or other multi-family residence requires approval from the property owner, landlord, homeowners association or property manager. On-street parking spaces may be used for persons picking-up and/or delivering materials for the operation and third party retailers coming to the property if proposed. If the proposed operation will involve loading of food products into vehicles, such loading may occur anytime within an enclosed garage when the garage door is shut. Hours for loading vehicles outside of a garage are limited from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10:00 a.m, to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Vehicles shall not idle when being loaded. Staff analysis: The parking standards require on-site parking spaces to be available for the cottage food operator's own vehicles, as well as cottage food employee vehicles, if present, plus any customers if direct sales are proposed at the cottage food operation. For apartment complexes and other multifamily housing developments, such as townhouses or condominiums, if the cottage food operator does not have sufficient garage or designated reserved parking spaces available, the cottage food operator will need to submit documentation from the manager of the apartment complex, homeowners association, or other qualified party, to verify that guest parking spaces or other spaces are available for the proposed use. Loading requirements are also in place to require vehicles being loaded to not have engines idle and limit hours of these potentially noisy operations. C. Noise Control. Cottage food operations shall not create noise levels in excess of those allowed in the applicable residential areas in the noise element of the general plan or in excess of those allowed in residential property by Chapter 9.04 of this code.
