A. In the interpretation of this section, the following shall govern:
1. Parking spaces for other permitted or conditional uses not listed in this subsection shall be determined by the city council.
2. Fractional numbers shall be increased to the next whole number.
3. Where for any reason parking demand is unusually high or low, then the parking space provisions cited above may be adjusted proportionately by the council without the necessity of a variance.
4. Paved surfaces must be provided for all off street parking and such surfaces must be maintained, kept clean and have striping designating the parking area. Such parking spaces and the striping shall comply with acceptable parking lot design and with all appropriate laws including the Americans with disabilities act.
5. A paved driveway shall connect the public right of way or other road providing access to the property and the required off street parking.
6. Two (2) or more adjacent or contiguous (other than residential) users of off street parking subject to this section may petition for a conditional use permit to decrease the total number of required parking spaces on the basis that the users have entered into a joint use agreement for parking. In reviewing this conditional use permit, in addition to the requirements set forth in section 18.28.020 of this title, the following factors shall be considered:
a. Whether the uses of the property and the suggested number of parking places by the applicant will be compatible as to type of use or hours of use resulting in an actual reduction in the number of parking spaces needed.
b. Whether the reduced number of parking spaces is offset by other desirable amenities such as increased landscaping or common area or reduced need for on site stormwater retention due to decreased hard surface parking area.
c. Such other factors as applicant or the reviewing body may deem appropriate given the proposed use of the land and location of the land with respect to other development. (Ord. 755, 2016; amd. Ord. 846 § 5, 2022)
