Kadernota Parkeernormen Dalfsen 2020 – Municipal Parking Standards
The Kadernota Parkeernormen Dalfsen 2020 is the official regulatory framework established by the Municipality of Dalfsen to govern parking requirements for new spatial developments. Valid from March 10, 2020, this document was adopted by the municipal council to ensure accessibility and livability while promoting bicycle use. It serves as the primary testing framework for the Omgevingsvergunning (environmental permit) regarding both car and bicycle parking capacity.
The code applies to various project types, including new constructions, renovations, expansions, and changes of use for existing buildings. It utilizes the national standards from CROW-publicatie 381 (Toekomstbestendig parkeren) but tailors them to the specific local context of Dalfsen. The regulatory scope covers residential units, workplaces, retail, sports facilities, health services, and education. It defines critical technical terms such as Parkeereis (parking requirement), Maatgevende parkeerbehoefte (peak parking demand), and Eigen terrein (private property boundaries).
This regulatory guide details the methodology for calculating parking requirements, the application of shared-use percentages, and the specific norms for bicycle storage facilities. It provides developers and architects with concrete values based on geographical zones and building functions.
Area Classification and Urbanization
The parking requirements in Dalfsen are determined by the urbanization degree and the specific location of the project. The municipality is classified as 'not urban' based on an average address density of 498 addresses per km².
- Centrum: Specific zones in Dalfsen, Nieuwleusen Noord, and Nieuwleusen Zuid characterized by high retail density.
- Rest bebouwde kom: Built-up areas outside the designated centers, including other villages like Lemelerveld.
- Buitengebied: Rural and agricultural areas outside village boundaries.
Car Parking Requirements and Calculation
The Parkeereis is the number of parking spaces that must be realized on private property after accounting for shared use and potential offsets from previous functions. The document outlines a multi-step 'Parkeertoets' (parking test) for permit applications.
- Step 1: Gathering spatial data (number of units, GBO, or gross floor area).
- Step 2: Determining the normative requirement based on function and zone.
- Step 3: Applying Dubbelgebruik (shared use) calculations using presence percentages for different times of the week.
- Step 4: Assessing the parking balance and checking for deviations based on a Mobiliteitsplan (mobility plan) or available Restcapaciteit (residual capacity).
Bicycle Parking Standards
To stimulate cycling, specific norms for bicycle storage are mandated for all new developments. These norms are based on CROW Fietsparkeerkencijfers 2019.
- Residential: 6 spaces for detached houses in centers, 3 for apartments with storage, and 1 for apartments without dedicated storage.
- Offices: 3.5 spaces per 100 m² BVO in center locations.
- Retail: 4 spaces per 100 m² BVO for shopping centers in the center.
- Quality Standards: Each bicycle space must have a minimum area of 1.75 m² and meet the FietsParkeur quality mark for visitor facilities.
Deviations and Public Space Utilization
While the primary rule is to provide parking on private property, the municipality allows for deviations under strict conditions. This often involves a parking pressure study conducted by an independent consultant.
- Parking Pressure Threshold: Residual capacity exists only if the street parking occupancy is below 85% or garage occupancy is below 95%.
- Walking Distances: Maximum acceptable walking distances are defined by function, such as 200m for residents in centers and 400m for retail visitors.
- Financial Obligations: If private parking cannot be realized, the developer may be required to enter a Parkeerovereenkomst (parking agreement) with the municipality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum occupancy allowed for public street parking in Dalfsen?
Public street parking is considered to have high pressure when occupancy reaches 85% or more; for public garages, this threshold is 95%.
Are visitors included in the residential parking norms?
Yes, the residential norms include a visitor component, typically calculated at 0.3 parking spaces per unit.
How are parking requirements calculated for a mix of offices and homes?
Calculations use Aanwezigheidspercentages (presence percentages) to facilitate Dubbelgebruik, allowing spaces to be shared since peak demands for offices (daytime) and residents (evening/night) occur at different times.
What is the minimum size for a bicycle parking spot?
The regulation requires a minimum area of 1.75 m² per bicycle parking space.
Can private parking spaces be rented from a third party?
Yes, provided there is a contract for a minimum of 10 years and the arrangement is legally secured, for example, through a chain clause (kettingbeding).
Does this Kadernota apply to existing buildings?
It applies only to new building initiatives, renovations, or changes in function that require an environmental permit; it does not apply to existing, unchanged parking situations.
