A. Applicability: Shared parking allows a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces in situations where a zoning lot is occupied by two (2) or more uses which typically do not experience peak parking demands at the same time. A reduction of the total required off-street parking spaces may be granted by the Zoning Administrator through an application for site plan review (see section 10-3-2, "Site Plan Review", of this title).
B. General Requirements: The following requirements apply to all shared parking agreements.
1. Any change in ownership or use of a lot shall cause the applicant or property owner to meet the minimum parking requirements established by this chapter, or arrange a new shared parking agreement. In the event that a change in ownership or use should occur, the applicant or property owner must provide written notification to the Zoning Administrator. Within sixty (60) days of that notice, the applicant shall provide a satisfactory resolution to the Zoning Administrator that provides adequate parking.
2. Shared parking may be located off-site provided that it complies with the location requirements of subsection 10-8-2A3, "Off-Premises Parking Facilities", of this chapter.
C. Shared Parking Among Lots Under Different Ownership: When a shared parking reduction is applied to uses on lots under different ownership, the following shall be provided to the Zoning Administrator:
1. A site plan that provides for interconnected lots.
2. Recorded easements that provide cross-access among the parking facilities to permit vehicular and pedestrian access.
3. Allocation of maintenance responsibilities.
D. Calculation: When any land or building is used for two (2) or more uses that are listed in table 10-8-4-1, "Shared Parking Calculation", of this subsection, the minimum total number of required parking spaces may be determined by the following procedure:
1. Multiply the minimum required parking for each individual use by the appropriate percentage listed in table 10-8-4-1, "Shared Parking Calculation", of this subsection for each of the designated time periods.
2. Calculate a sum for all uses for each of the five (5) time periods in each column. The minimum parking requirement is the highest of these total.

E. Special Shared Parking Study: As an alternative to the methodology established in subsection D, "Calculation", of this section, an applicant may submit a special shared parking study to the Zoning Administrator to demonstrate that the parking demand for two (2) or more uses is less than the cumulative parking requirements for each individual use. The special shared parking study shall be conducted by a qualified professional at the applicant's expense. (Ord. 67-2018, 12-18-2018)
