17-10-0800 Cooperative parking.

   17-10-0801 Description. Cooperative parking represents an arrangement in which two or more commercial uses provide their required off-street parking in the same parking lot, thereby reducing the number of individual parking lots and the number of curb cuts required to serve such lots. Reduced off-street parking requirements are available as an incentive for providing cooperative parking. Approval of an administrative adjustment is required. (See Sec. 17-13-1003-HH.)

   17-10-0802 Authorization. The Zoning Administrator is authorized to approve an administrative adjustment allowing a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces required when multiple commercial uses provide their off-street parking in the same parking lot, as follows:

      17-10-0802-A up to a 20% reduction may be approved when 4 or more commercial uses are involved;

      17-10-0802-B up to a 15% reduction may be approved when 3 commercial uses are involved; and

      17-10-0802-C up to a 10% reduction may be approved when 2 commercial uses are involved.

   17-10-0803 Location of Cooperative Parking Facility. A use for which an application is being made for cooperative parking must be located within 600 feet walking distance of the cooperative parking, measured from the entrance of the use to the nearest parking space within the cooperative parking lot.

   17-10-0804 Agreement. An agreement providing for cooperative use of parking must be filed with the Zoning Administrator, in a form approved by the Zoning Administrator. Cooperative parking privileges will continue in effect only as long as the agreement remains in force. Agreements must guarantee long-term availability of the parking, commensurate with the use served by the parking. If the agreement is no longer in force, then parking must be provided as otherwise required by this chapter.
