(a) This section sets minimum standards for off-street requirements for new construction and expansion of or changes to existing uses. The purpose of this section is to ensure that uses have a minimum level of off-street parking to avoid congestion on surrounding streets while avoiding excessive parking, discouraging pedestrian access, driving up the cost of development, and inviting excessive levels of traffic congestion, which creates increases in flooding and nonpoint source pollution. On-street parking is also encouraged in some locations in order to provide a buffer between pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
(b) Parking Ratios.
(1) Generally.
i. Applicability. The minimum parking ratio standards apply to all zoning districts except the "D" (Downtown) zoning district.
ii. Uses not identified. The Building and Zoning Inspector shall determine the parking requirement for uses that do not correspond to the categories listed in Table 1105-1. In such instances, the applicant shall provide adequate information by which the proposal can be reviewed, which includes but may not necessarily be limited to the following:
a) Type of uses;
b) Number of employees;
c) Building design capacity;
d) Square feet of sales area and service area;
e) Parking spaces proposed on site;
f) Parking spaces provided elsewhere; and
g) Hours of operation.
iii. Multiple uses. Where the application identifies accessory or multiple uses within a structure or multiple structures, the minimum standards shall apply to each use or structure. This does not apply to Section 1105.01(c), Shared Parking of this Section.
iv. Fractional measurements. When units or measurements determining the number of required off-street parking spaces result in a fractional space, then such fraction equal or greater than one-half shall require a full off-street parking space.
v. Floor area measurement. Floor area and GFA are synonymous for purposes of this Section (see "gross floor area," as defined in the Glossary, Chapter 1111 Definitions).
vi. On-street parking. The minimum number of required off-street parking spaces shall be reduced by the number of on-street parking spaces abutting the property lines of the lot or parcel.
(2) Minimum Parking Ratios. Table 1105-1 establishes the minimum numbers of parking spaces required for the uses indicated. For the purposes of parking calculations, the gross area of any parking garage within a building shall not be included within the GFA of the building. Parking requirements may be met by one or more of a combination of the following methods:
i. Providing on-site parking spaces. Only spaces that are designed consistent with this section are counted toward the minimum parking required. Spaces at gasoline pumps and bays for auto repair/service are not counted toward the minimum parking required. No part of a parking or loading space required for any building to comply with this Section shall be included as part of a parking or loading space required for another building.
ii. Making payments in lieu of parking spaces that shall be contributed to a parking fund specifically set aside to provide public parking within one-fourth (1/4) mile of the exterior boundaries of the proposed development: The amount of the payment for each space shall be established by a resolution of the Village Council and shall be reasonable and based on the actual or estimated cost to provide such spaces. No development approvals shall be issued until complete payment has been received by the Village of Greenfield.
iii. Providing off-site parking spaces in a shared parking facility: Shared parking facilities must conform to Section 1105.01(c), Shared Parking of this Section.
(3) Maximum Parking Ratios.
i. Table 1105-1 indicates the maximum number of parking spaces established for the use or structure. If a maximum parking space ratio applies, the number of parking spaces shall not exceed the maximum number permitted.
ii. The maximum spaces allowed do not include accessible spaces required by the Building Code.
(c) Shared Parking.
(1) Generally. Parking spaces required under this section may be provided cooperatively for two (2) or more uses in a development or for two (2) or more individual uses, subject to the requirements of this section.
(2) Cooperative Parking. Off-street parking requirements of a given use may be met with off-site, off-street parking facilities of another use when, and if, all of the following conditions are met:
i. The off-site, off-street parking facilities are within 300 feet of the property;
ii. The parking demands of the individual uses, as determined by the administrator based upon minimum off-street parking requirements, are such that the total parking demand of all the uses at any one time is less than the total parking stalls required;
iii. A written agreement between the owners and leases executed for a minimum of twenty (20) years, approved by the Building and Zoning Inspector as provided in subsection (iv), below. The application shall be recorded and a copy maintained in the project file. Should the lease expire or otherwise terminate, the use for which the off-site parking was provided shall be considered non- conforming and any and all approvals, including CUPs, shall be subject to revocation. Continuation or expansion of the use shall be prohibited unless the use is brought into compliance with the parking regulations of this division;
iv. An application for approval of a cooperative parking plan shall be filed with the Building and Zoning Inspector by the owner of the entire land area to be included within the cooperative parking plan, the owner or owners of all structures then existing on such land area, and all parties having a legal interest in such land area and structures. Sufficient evidence to establish the status of applicants as owners of parties in interest shall be provided. The application shall include plans showing the location of the uses or structures for which off-street parking facilities are required, the location of the off-street parking facilities, and the schedule of times used by those sharing parking in common; and
v. Pursuant to the same procedure and subject to the same limitations and requirements by which the coop-parking plan was approved and registered, any such plan may be amended or withdrawn, either partially or completely, if all land and structures remaining under such plan comply with all the conditions and limitations of the plan, and all land and structures withdrawn from such plan comply with the regulations of this division.
(3) Shared Parking. Developments that contain a mix of uses on the same parcel, as set forth in Table 1105-2, may reduce the amount of required parking in accordance with the following methodology:
i. Determine the minimum parking requirements in accordance with Table 1105-1 for each land use as if it were a separate use;
ii. Multiply each amount by the corresponding percentages for each of the five time periods set forth in Columns (B) through (F) of Table 1105-2;
iii. Calculate the total for each time period; and
iv. Select the total with the highest value as the required minimum number of parking spaces.
(4) Shared Easement Maintenance Agreements.
i. A maintenance agreement made between the owners of shared easements for ingress and egress that sets out responsibility percentages shall be recorded with the County Recorder after examination by the Planning Commission and Map Office. In terms of a lease, such agreements may be spelled out in the lease and a memorandum filed with the City Clerk or Building and Zoning Inspector.
