This Bylaw succeeds Salt Spring Island Bylaw 123, which also contained regulations regarding parking spaces. The regulations in that Bylaw apply to land uses, buildings or structures existing since June 5, 1985. Parking requirements do not apply to land uses, buildings or structures that existed before that date, provided the use has not changed in a way that now requires more parking or loading spaces. 7.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING AND LOADING SPACES BL444 (07/10) BL456 (07/12) 7.1.1 The owner or occupier of land must provide and maintain off - street loading spaces and off - street parking spaces for automobiles and bicycles as determined by the use or occupancy of a lot or building according to Table 3. 7.1.2 If a use is not listed in Table 3, the number of parking and loading spaces is to be calculated on the basis of the most similar use that is listed. 7.1.3 If more than one use is located on a lot or if a parking lot collectively serves more than one use , the total number of parking and loading spaces is to be the sum of the spaces required for each use , calculated separately. The parking or loading spaces required for one use are not to be included in calculations for any other use . Information Note: Variances to this Section can be considered by the Trust Committee and given through either Development Permit or a Development Variance Permit. For example, uses that require parking at mutually exclusive times (day vs. evening; weekday vs. weekend) could apply to share some or all of their parking spaces. 7.1.4 Where the calculation of parking space s results in a fractional number, the next largest whole number is the number of spaces required. 7.1.5 The required number of parking space s need not be provided where an addition or alteration to a building or a change in its use would result in an increase of less than 10 percent of the number of spaces required, up to a maximum of 5 spaces; where an addition or alteration or change in use requires more than 5 spaces, then the number of spaces as determined by Table 3 are to be provided.

Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee 63 Updated June 2026 Land Use Bylaw No. 355 (Consolidated) 7.2.4 Where a building or use provides more than 15 parking space s, up to 20 per cent of the total stalls may be reduced to 4.6 m in length provided those spaces are marked with the words “SMALL CAR ONLY” on the pavement or facing wall. 7.2.5 All parking space s must have a maximum gradient and cross - slope of 6 percent. 7.2.6 Where a parking lot consists of more than 20 paved parking space s, the parking lot may only be constructed in accordance with a design prepared by an engineer which ensures that the pre - development and post - development stormwater runoff rate, flow pattern and water quality are as similar as is reasonably feasible and that runoff is managed in a manner consistent with the Land Development Guidelines. Stormwater runoff facilities must be operated and maintained at all times in accordance with the original design and the Land Development Guidelines. 7.3 LOCATION OF AUTOMOBILE PARKING SPACES 7.3.1 Except as provided by Section 7.7 of this Bylaw, all required off - street parking space s must be located on the lot on which the use , building or structure being served is located, or on an adjoining lot that constitutes part of the same site or premises. Parking space s located on a highway may not be taken into account in determining compliance with the standards in this part. 7.4 PARKING SPACES FOR THE DISABLED 7.4.1 Despite Subsection 7.2.3 of this Bylaw, the following regulations apply to parking space s for the disabled: (1) Spaces must be at least 3.7 m in width and have at least 3 m of vertical clearance. (2) Spaces must be level and have a firm and slip - resistant surface .

Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee 65 Updated June 2026 Land Use Bylaw No. 355 (Consolidated) 7.7.2 Where a parking lot or other off - street parking facility is operated by the Capital Regional District within 0.5 km of an entrance to the use being served and the facility can provide the required number of parking space s, the owner or occupier of the land may pay an amount of money as specified by the Capital Regional District instead of providing automobile parking space s. Bicycle parking space s and parking space s for the disabled may not be provided in this way. 7.7.3 The money referred to in 7.7.2 is payable at the time: (1) a building permit is issued for the building or structure that is being put to the use that requires the parking space specified in the Bylaw; or (2) when the use that requires the parking space specified in the Bylaw begins, if no building permit is required. Information Note: At the time of development of this Bylaw, no parking facilities were being operated by the Capital Regional District on Salt Spring Island. In order for this to happen, the CRD would need to establish this as a function, purchase property and take other steps to operate a parking lot. Any money collected for this purpose would have to be kept in a reserve fund and used only for the provision of off - street parking spaces. Such a facility may be of use in the future, particularly in Ganges Village, so that village businesses can share the expense of parking lots and locate them west of Jackson Avenue. Subsections 7.7.2 and 7.7.3 of this Bylaw have been written in anticipation of a time when it may be feasible for the CRD to develop shared parking lots.
