§ 250-3. Shared parking.

(a)

Reduction of parking requirements through a shared parking arrangement may be granted by the Development Director through written request from an applicant. An application for a shared parking arrangement shall be submitted by completing forms provided by the Development Department.

(b)

A to-scale map indicating location of proposed parking spaces shall be provided; said map shall indicate or notate number of spaces in each parking area.

(c)

A shared parking study conducted by a professional engineer shall be provided that demonstrates that each use will have adequate parking provisions at all times. Said calculation must receive Development Department review and approval. The study shall document that the arrangement shall avoid conflicting parking demands and provide for safe pedestrian circulation and access.

(d)

For properties sharing parking spaces under this provision, cross-easements shall be filed establishing access to the parking spaces in perpetuity and documentation of filing provided to the City.

(e)

Shared parking agreements shall be fully executed and submitted to the Development Department for review prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy or Completion.

(f)

A reduction in the number of parking spaces that would otherwise be required for each of the various uses on a multiple-use property must be clearly shown on the development plan. If shared parking is proposed for a combination of contiguous properties, a plan must be submitted covering all of the properties that will be sharing the parking spaces.

(g)

Any subsequent change in land uses within the participating developments shall require proof that adequate parking will be available. Prior to any change in use, the owner must apply to the Development Director for an evaluation and confirmation of the change. If the Development Director finds that the parking reduction is no longer justified, the Development Director shall notify the owner to construct the number of parking spaces necessary to meet the difference in the required parking between the proposed and previous uses.

(h)

In no case, shall the Development Director approve a reduction of parking through a shared parking arrangement of greater than 25 percent for any use.
