Nota Parkeernormen 2020 gemeente Barneveld – Parking Standards and Regulations
The Nota Parkeernormen 2020 gemeente Barneveld is the official regulatory framework established by the municipal council of Barneveld to govern parking requirements for spatial developments. Issued under the authority of the Algemene wet bestuursrecht (Awb), specifically Article 4:84, this policy has been in effect since July 16, 2021, with retroactive force dating back to August 1, 2020. It replaces previous iterations of parking norms and serves as a dynamic reference for zoning plans (bestemmingsplannen) within the municipality.
The document defines the methodology for calculating the parking demand (parkeereis) for various land-use functions including residential (wonen), employment (werken), retail (winkelen), hospitality (horeca), health services, and education. It utilizes national reference figures from CROW (Publication December 2018) adapted to the specific local characteristics of Barneveld. The scope extends to all projects requiring an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning), covering new constructions, functional changes, and significant renovations. Regulations address both motorized vehicle parking and bicycle parking facilities.
This policy document provides structured guidance on geographic zoning, occupancy percentages (aanwezigheidspercentages), and technical requirements for parking facilities. It also details the legal procedures for deviations, including exemptions (vrijstellingen) and the municipal buyout scheme (afkoopregeling).
Calculation Methodology for Parking Demand
The determination of the parking requirement follows a standardized six-step process to ensure transparency and consistency across all development projects.
- Step 1: Determine the geographic location and urban zone (plangebied) to identify applicable norms.
- Step 2: Establish the program of functions and calculate the normatieve parkeervraag based on Gross Floor Area (BVO) or specific units (e.g., number of dwellings).
- Step 3: Apply reduction factors if specific mobility measures or exceptional circumstances are demonstrated.
- Step 4: Assess possibilities for dual use (dubbelgebruik) of parking spaces based on occupancy peak times.
- Step 5: Determine the parking demand per time of day.
- Step 6: Establish the final parkeereis, rounded to one decimal place.
Geographic Zoning and Area Classifications
The municipality is divided into distinct zones, each with tailored parking norms reflecting urban density and accessibility as defined in Bijlage 1.
- Barneveld Centrum: The core urban area with the highest density and most restrictive parking norms.
- Barneveld rest bebouwde kom: Established residential and commercial areas outside the immediate center.
- Voorthuizen Centrum: The central district of Voorthuizen.
- Voorthuizen rest bebouwde kom: Peripheral built-up areas of Voorthuizen.
- Overige kernen: Other village centers within the municipality.
- Buitengebied: Rural areas where car dependency is higher and norms are adjusted accordingly.
Technical Standards and Dimensions
To be counted toward the parking requirement, spaces must meet minimum technical dimensions and quality standards as specified in Tabel 10.
- Standard Parking Space: Minimum dimensions of 5.00 x 2.50 meters.
- Single Driveway: Must be at least 6.00 x 3.50 meters to count as 1.0 parking space.
- Garage Box: Minimum 6.00 x 3.00 meters; counts as 0.5 parking spaces due to frequent use for storage.
- Disabled Parking: At least 5% of parking at public facilities must be designated for general disabled use.
Exemptions and Buyout Provisions
The Nota Parkeernormen 2020 allows for deviations from the standard requirement under specific economic or spatial conditions defined in Hoofdstuk 6.
- Small-scale Home Businesses: Exemptions may apply if the parking demand is 2.0 spaces or fewer.
- Center Zone Transformations: Exemptions up to 3.0 spaces for developments in Barneveld and Voorthuizen centers to stimulate the local economy.
- Afkoopregeling: A financial contribution of €13,000 per missing parking space (indexed annually) can be paid into a municipal fund if on-site realization is impossible.
