Nota Parkeernormen Dronten 2016 – Municipal Parking Standards
The Nota Parkeernormen Dronten 2016 is the official regulatory document issued by the Gemeente Dronten on September 29, 2016. It establishes the framework for determining the number of parking spaces required for spatial developments within the municipality. This final report, prepared by Mobycon and Concordis Groep, serves as the legal basis for parking obligations under the Wet ruimtelijke ordening (Wro), following the expiration of building decree provisions (artikel 2.5.30).
The scope of the document encompasses all new construction, renovations, and changes of use that impact parking demand. It defines specific parking standards across several main functions, including Hoofdfunctie wonen, Hoofdfunctie werken, Hoofdfunctie winkels en boodschappen, Hoofdfunctie horeca, and Hoofdfunctie onderwijs. The regulations utilize urban density classifications based on omgevingsadressendichtheid (OAD) from the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) to differentiate requirements between urban centers and rural areas.
The document outlines a structured five-step plan for calculating parking obligations, including the assessment of on-site parking capacity, the use of existing public spaces, and the potential for shared parking through established presence percentages. It provides technical specifications for parking facility dimensions and maximum acceptable walking distances for various building uses.
Five-Step Implementation Plan
The determination of the parking obligation follows a mandatory five-step procedure to ensure sufficient capacity for each development project.
- Step 1: Determine parking demand based on area typology and established norms for specific functions.
- Step 2: Demonstrate on-site parking capacity, ensuring facilities meet the physical dimension requirements.
- Step 3: Investigate existing public space capacity if on-site requirements cannot be met, provided the occupancy rate remains under 85%.
- Step 4: Investigate new public parking space realization, subject to environmental quality and cost coverage by the initiator.
- Step 5: Parking advice issuance, where a positive or negative recommendation is provided for the omgevingsvergunning (environmental permit).
Urban Zones and Classifications
Parking standards in Dronten vary based on the urban density of the location. The municipality distinguishes between different zones to align with mobility patterns and public transport availability.
- Centrum Dronten: Classified as Matig stedelijk (Moderately urban) with 1,000 to 1,500 addresses per km².
- Hanzekwartier: Designated as the Schil centrum (urban shell), also categorized as Matig stedelijk.
- Rest kern Dronten: The remaining built-up area of the Dronten core.
- Ketelhaven, Swifterbant, and Biddinghuizen: Classified as Niet stedelijk (Non-urban) with fewer than 500 addresses per km².
- Buitengebied: The outlying rural areas categorized as Niet stedelijk.
On-Site Parking Standards and Dimensions
The document specifies how individual parking facilities on private property are calculated towards the total obligation. Because driveways and garages are often used for storage or other purposes, they are not always counted as a full space.
- Single driveway without garage: Counts as 0.8 spaces (minimum 6m length, 3.0m width).
- Garage with single driveway: Counts as 1.0 space.
- Garage without driveway: Counts as 0.4 spaces (minimum 5m length, 2.5m internal width).
- Double driveway: Counts as 1.7 spaces (minimum 5.0m width).
- Double garage: Counts as 1.8 spaces (minimum 5m length, 5.0m internal width).
Educational Facilities and Kiss & Ride
Special provisions apply to educational institutions to manage peak traffic during drop-off and pick-up times. The calculation for Kiss & Ride spaces is based on a specific formula involving the number of pupils and reduction factors for parking duration.
- Lower school (Group 1-3): 30-60% of pupils are brought by car, with a 0.5 duration reduction factor.
- Upper school (Group 4-8): 5-40% of pupils are brought by car, with a 0.25 duration reduction factor.
- Daycare centers: 50-80% of children are brought by car, with a 0.25 duration reduction factor.
- Staff parking: Separate norms are provided per classroom or per 100m² BVO depending on the education level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum walking distance allowed for residential parking?
The acceptable walking distance for the Hoofdfunctie wonen is approximately 100 meters, which corresponds to a 1.0 to 1.5-minute walk.
How is parking demand calculated for a home-based business?
For professions or businesses operated from home, one additional parking space is required on top of the standard residential requirement, provided the business is run by a resident and employs a maximum of one other FTE.
When is a parking survey required for public spaces?
A representative parking survey is required if an initiator wants to use residual capacity in public spaces (Step 3). The survey must show that the occupancy rate remains below 85% after the development is added.
What are the dimensions for a standard single driveway in Dronten?
A single driveway must have a minimum length of 6.0 meters and a minimum width of 3.0 meters to be recognized as a valid parking facility.
Are visitors included in the parking norms?
Yes, a visitor component (aandeel bezoek) is included in the norms. For most residential types, this is 0.3 spaces per unit.
Which standard applies if a specific function is not listed in the tables?
In cases not covered by the document, the average key figures from CROW Publicatie 317 or ASVV2012 are applicable.
