      1.   A development agreement running with the land is completed in which it is agreed that the property in question is financially responsible for its proportionate share of the city sponsored and provided parking space construction, maintenance, and parking site acquisition for on street, lot and/or ramp parking. Said responsibility shall be determined on the basis of the property's parking space shortage based upon ordinance requirements, in relationship to the total parking space shortage, as defined by this chapter for a defined service and benefit area. The "service and benefit area" shall include all properties which benefit from the available public parking serving a particular retail and commercial neighborhood or district.
      2.   The amount of parking provided on the property in question is the maximum amount possible, taking into account the use and design objectives of the B-4 district as outlined by this ordinance and the comprehensive plan.
      3.   The parking shortages created by the development are not premature or in excess of the supply which can be provided by the city through a public parking system on a long term basis.
