(A) General requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this section, off-street parking shall be on the same lot or parcel of land as the use it is intended to serve.
(B) Off-site parking facilities. Required parking for a nonresidential development may be located off-site under certain circumstances. Requests for variances allowing the substitution of off-site for on-site parking must meet the following requirements, in addition to the standard variance criteria.
(1) The off-site parking shall be located so that it will adequately serve the use for which it is intended. In making this determination the following factors, among other things, shall be considered:
(a) Proximity of the off-site parking facilities, generally within 300 feet of the use they are intended to serve;
(b) Ease of pedestrian access to the off-site parking facilities; and
(c) The type of use the off-site parking facilities are intended to serve. For example, off-street parking may not be appropriate for high turnover uses such as retail.
(2) A written commitment shall be drawn to the satisfaction of the Town Attorney and executed by all parties concerned; assuring the continued availability of off-site parking facilities for the use they are intended to serve.
(C) Front yard parking requirements. Parking spaces may not be located in the required front yard except in business and industrial districts. However, no parking area shall be permitted within five feet of the front property line in any district.
