Parkeernormennota Papendrecht 2018 – Parking Standards and Requirements
The Parkeernormennota Papendrecht 2018 is a municipal policy document issued by the Municipality of Papendrecht, Netherlands. Valid from March 19, 2018, it establishes the regulatory framework for parking requirements in spatial developments. This document replaces the previous assessment framework found in the Bouwverordening (Building Ordinance) following amendments to the Woningwet (Housing Act) and the Besluit ruimtelijke ordening (Spatial Planning Decree), which require parking regulations to be anchored in zoning plans.
The policy applies to all new spatial developments, restructuring, and functional changes where an omgevingsvergunning (environmental permit) for construction is required. It utilizes the technical benchmarks from CROW publicatie 317 (October 2012) to determine the necessary number of parking spaces per function unit. The document defines specific zones within the municipality, including the Centrum (Center), Schil (Shell), Rest bebouwde kom (Remaining urban area), and Buitengebied (Outskirts), and classifies Papendrecht as a sterk stedelijk (strongly urban) municipality with a density code of 2.
The following sections detail the calculation methods for parking demand, including provisions for salderen (netting), dual-use of spaces, and specific walking distance thresholds for different building functions.
Urbanization and Area Classification
The document categorizes parking standards based on the degree of urbanization and the specific location of the development within the municipality.
- Stedelijkheidsgraad: Papendrecht is classified as sterk stedelijk (strongly urban, code 2) based on address density data from the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS).
- Gebiedstypering: Four distinct zones are mapped: Centrum, Schil, Rest bebouwde kom, and Buitengebied.
- Parking Bandwidth: For each zone, the policy defines a range between minimum and maximum parking requirements to allow for custom assessment while strictly prohibiting falling below the minimum norm.
Application in Development Projects
The methodology for calculating a parking requirement differs depending on whether the project is a new build or a modification of an existing structure.
- Nieuwbouwontwikkeling: New buildings on vacant lots must meet the full parking requirement specified for their function.
- Herontwikkeling en Verbouw: For redevelopment or function changes, the principle of salderen (netting) applies. The parking demand of the previous function is subtracted from the demand of the new function.
- Rounding: The final calculated number of required parking spaces is always rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Parking on Private Property and Public Space
The primary objective of the municipality is to ensure that the parking demand caused by a project is accommodated on the project's own grounds.
- Eigen terrein: Developers are responsible for realizing the required spaces within the plot boundaries.
- Public Space Compensation: If on-site parking is impossible, the municipality may allow compensation in public areas at the developer's expense, provided suitable locations are available within acceptable walking distances.
- Driveways: For residential properties, driveways where two cars park behind each other (tandem parking) do not count as two independent spaces; the second space is excluded from the calculation.
Dual Use and Acceptable Walking Distances
To optimize space, the policy allows for the shared use of parking spaces between functions with different peak demand times, regulated by Bijlage 2 (Presence percentages).
- Dubbelgebruik: This reduction is applicable only if the project involves more than 20 parking spaces and the spaces are open to the public.
- Residential Walking Distance: Parking must be located within 100 meters of a dwelling.
- Work and Retail Distances: Acceptable distances range from 200 to 800 meters for workplaces and 200 to 600 meters for retail functions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which urbanization category does Papendrecht belong to for parking norms?
Papendrecht is classified as sterk stedelijk (strongly urban) with urbanization code 2.
What is the acceptable walking distance for residential parking?
According to Tabel 1, the maximum acceptable walking distance for the function Wonen (Living) is 100 meters.
How is parking demand calculated for a renovation project?
The principle of salderen is used, where the parking requirement of the existing (old) function is subtracted from the requirement of the new function.
Do visitor parking spaces need to be included in the calculation?
Yes, the norms provided in the tables are inclusive of visitor parking, with the aandeel bezoekers (visitor share) specified per function, such as 0.3 per dwelling.
When can dual-use (dubbelgebruik) reduction be applied?
It can be applied for projects with more than 20 parking spaces if the spaces are centrally located, publicly accessible, and the peak demand times of different functions do not overlap.
What happens if a developer cannot realize parking on their own land?
The municipality may grant permission to use public space for parking if the developer pays for the realization and suitable alternative locations exist within walking distance.
How are driveways counted towards the parking requirement for houses?
Parking spaces must be independently accessible; a tandem driveway where cars park behind each other does not count as multiple spaces for the requirement.
What is the legal basis for these parking requirements?
The requirements are based on Article 2.5.30 of the Bouwverordening and the Wet ruimtelijke ordening (Wro), requiring parking to be regulated via zoning plans.
