Two or more uses may share parking facilities without providing the minimum number of on-site required spaces for each use, when parking spaces are provided in compliance with all the requirements of this Section.
(a) The minimum required number of parking spaces for the combined uses may be reduced by up to forty percent (40%) for shared parking when hours of operation overlap. Residential uses shall not be allowed to share parking facilities.
(b) The applicant shall file with the Chief Building Official a written legal agreement providing for the shared use of parking, guaranteeing access to, use of, and management of designated spaces; executed by the parties involved; and approved as to form by the Village's legal counsel.
(1) The applicant shall record the approved agreement with the Cuyahoga County Recorded Documents Office prior to issuance of a certificate of zoning compliance.
(2) Sharing privileges shall continue in effect only as long as the agreement, binding on all parties, remains in force. If the agreement is no longer in force, parking shall be provided as otherwise required by this chapter. The agreement shall specify that the Village is an approving party to any change to the agreement.
(c) Parking spaces may be considered for sharing when the uses are located adjacent to each other and the parking spaces are located within 300 feet from the uses they serve.
(d) Clearly delineated and direct pedestrian connections shall be provided from the shared parking areas to the building entrances.
(e) The applicant shall submit a shared parking plan showing the parking spaces proposed for sharing and their proximity to the uses they will serve; and the nature of the uses and the times when the individual uses will operate so as to demonstrate the lack of potential conflict between them.
