The number of required parking spaces may be reduced, and the type or location of required parking may be modified as follows.
A. Shared parking for mixed uses. When two or more uses have different periods of peak parking demand (e.g., a movie theater and an office) and share a common parking supply, the number of spaces required may be reduced by a use permit approved by the zoning administrator. The reduction in the number of required spaces shall be calculated by either:
1. The methodology set forth in the Urban Land Institute publication Shared Parking. For the base parking ratios (i.e. the parking space ratios required before taking into account sharing of spaces), the requirements of this chapter shall be used; or
2. A shared parking study submitted by the applicant which justifies the shared parking reduction. The zoning administrator shall approve a shared parking reduction only if:
1. The number of spaces required will meet the greatest parking demand of any participating uses;
2. Evidence has been submitted by the parties to the shared parking facilities which demonstrates the lack of potential conflict;
3. Additional documents, as may be deemed necessary by the zoning administrator, are executed to ensure the parking spaces provided are maintained and used as approved.
B. Reduction or waiver of parking. The number of required parking spaces may be reduced or waived by a use permit approved by the zoning administrator based on either quantitative information provided by the applicant that documents the need for fewer spaces or the implementation of a Transportation Demand Management Plan which establishes a specific set of programs designed to reduce parking demand.
