(a) New development and expansion projects located within the Planned Multi-Family Residential District, Mixed Use Business District and Planned Office District may request a waiver from the minimum off-street parking space requirements required under this Chapter when it is shown that adequate off-street parking area is not available to meet the required standards and the existence of other parking arrangements will satisfy the parking space requirements including, but not limited to utilizing the following methods: on-street parking, and off-street parking located on an adjacent lotor lot in close proximity to the subject parcel.
(b) Parking Reductions for Shared Use. Off-street parking spaces may serve two (2) or more uses; however, in such case, the total number of such spaces must equal the sum of the spaces required for each separate use, except that the Planning and Zoning Commission may, subject to conditions it deems appropriate, reduce the total number of parking spaces required by the strict application of this section when the applicant has demonstrated to the Commission’s satisfaction that fewer spaces than those required by this section will adequately serve two (2) or more uses by reason of the hourly parking accumulation characteristics of such uses and such reduction will not adversely affect the site or the adjacent area.
(c) Large Scale Office Project Reduction. The Planning and Zoning Commission may reduce the amount of required parking spaces up to 10 percent when an office building contains more than 20,000 square feet of floor area. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors in determining whether a reduction is appropriate:
(1) Mix of office uses and floor plan which depicts lower parking demand;
(2) Adequacy of public and private parking facilities in the vicinity; and
(3) Fully integrated parking is defined by having full accessibility from all portions.
