   A.   Multiple Uses: Unless otherwise specified, lots containing more than one use shall provide parking and loading in an amount equal to the total of the requirements for all activities.

   B.   Non-Specified Parking Requirements: It is recognized that specifying a single parking requirement for some uses listed in table 4.1-1 of this section is not always feasible due to the diversity and variation in land use characteristics that can exist within that specific use type. For those uses listed in table 4.1-1 of this section that do not have a specific parking requirement identified, the Zoning Administrator shall determine a parking requirement based upon the requirements for the most similar comparable land use, the particular characteristics of the proposed land use, and any other relevant data regarding parking demand. In order to make this determination, the Zoning Administrator may require the applicant to submit a parking demand study or other information, at the applicant's cost. The parking demand study may include, but is not limited to, estimates of parking demand based on recommendations of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), or other acceptable sources as approved by the Zoning Administrator, and should include other recent, reliable primary or secondary source data collected from uses or combinations of uses that are the same as, or comparable with, the proposed use.

   C.   Unspecified Uses: Where buildings are constructed without uses specified (i.e., shell buildings), the use with the greatest parking requirement among all uses specified for the zoning district where the site is located shall be used to calculate off-street parking requirements.

   D.   Uses In The Downtown Core Overlay: The parking requirements for uses in the Downtown Core Overlay Zoning District shall be one-half (1/2) of those listed in table 4.1-1 of this section, with the exception of service stations, grocery and supermarkets, laundries, and motels and hotels, each of which shall meet all requirements listed in table 4.1-1 of this section.

   E.   Basis Of Calculation: When calculating the total number of parking spaces required, any fraction exceeding one-half (0.5) shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

   F.   Occupancy- Or Capacity-Based Standards: For the purpose of computing parking requirements based on employees, students, residents or occupants, calculations must be based on the largest number of persons working on any single shift, the maximum enrollment or the maximum fire-rated capacity, whichever results in the greater number of spaces. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018; Ord. 20-891, 1-27-2020)

21-4-1.6: ALTERNATIVE PARKING PROVISIONS:

Where conditions preclude the complete compliance of off-street parking spaces required by section 21-4-1.5, table 4.1-1 of this section 21-4-1, the following alternative parking provisions may be available, subject to Zoning Administrator approval:

   A.   Compact Spaces: Up to ten percent (10%) of the total number of required parking spaces for non-residential uses may be designated as compact spaces when clearly labeled.

   B.   On-Street Parking: On-street parking spaces located in the right-of-way along the property line, between the lot lines of the site, may be counted to satisfy the minimum off-street parking requirements for non-residential uses. One on-street parking space may be substituted for each required off-street space. These provisions only apply to street frontages where on- street parking is allowed and provided. The parking space credit shall be determined at the time of site plan approval by the Zoning Administrator.

   C.   Tandem Parking: Shall mean a space where one vehicle parks behind another, so that one vehicle must be moved before the other can be accessed. Accessible parking spaces shall not be used for tandem parking spaces. Tandem parking shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) cars in depth and no less than nine feet (9') wide and forty feet (40') long. Tandem parking stalls are only allowed for:

Recordation of the agreement must take place before issuance of a building permit and/or business license/renewal for any use to be served by the off-site parking area. The Zoning Administrator may grant permission to dissolve a shared parking agreement only if all required off-street parking spaces will be provided, in accordance with sections 21-4-1.4 and 21-4-1.5 of this section 21-4-1.

   E.   Off-Site Parking: The Zoning Administrator may approve the location of required off-site parking spaces on a separate lot from the lot on which the principal use is located if the off- site parking complies with all of the following standards:

      1.   Ineligible Uses: Unless expressly permitted, off-site parking may not be allowed for residential uses or other convenience- oriented uses.

      2.   Location:

         a.   Off-site parking may be allowed only in the Downtown Core, or outside the Downtown Core upon issuance of a permit for a special event.

         b.   The owner or operator of a business that uses approved off- site property to satisfy the parking requirements of this chapter shall immediately notify the Zoning Administrator of any change of ownership or use of the property for which the spaces are required, and of any termination or default of the agreement between the parties.

         c.   Should an agreement for required off-site parking expire or otherwise terminate, the Zoning Administrator shall determine a reasonable time in which one of the following shall occur:

(1) Substitute parking is provided that is acceptable to the City; or

(2) The size or capacity of the use is reduced in proportion to the parking spaces reduced.

         d.   If the above conditions are not met in the timeframe identified, the use for which the off-site parking was provided shall be considered nonconforming and any and all approvals, including conditional use permits shall be subject to revocation.

   F.   Electric Vehicle Charging Stations:

      1.   For each electric vehicle charging station provided, the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces may be reduced by two (2). Each charging station counts toward the minimum number of required parking spaces. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
