A reduction in the minimum required number of off street parking spaces is permitted in this section. Parking space reductions under this section may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the minimum off street requirement, except as provided in subsection A4 of this section. Required off street parking spaces may be reduced as follows:
A. Nonresidential uses:
1. On street parking spaces may satisfy the off street parking requirements, on a one for one basis, for each legal on street parking space on a public street right of way that is immediately adjacent to the property containing the use. Each uninterrupted twenty (20) linear feet in the portion of the public street designated for public parking of vehicles located within imaginary extensions of the property boundaries onto the street is one parking space. If the boundary extensions intersect any continuous twenty foot (20') length used to determine a parking space, that intersected portion is considered one parking space, regardless of size. Recognition of this space does not create a property interest in the on street parking and does not guarantee permanent availability of that space within public right of way.
2. A twenty percent (20%) reduction in the total number of parking spaces is permitted if a city approved transit stop is located within three hundred feet (300') of the property, a safe and convenient pedestrian access exists, and a covered transit stop and seating area exists.
3. For every two (2) bicycle spaces on the property above the number required for the minimum bicycle space requirements, one required off street parking space requirement is satisfied. The maximum reduction allowed under this subsection is twenty percent (20%) of the minimum off street parking spaces required. This reduction cannot reduce the number of required accessible parking spaces. Bicycle spaces must hold a bike upright, allow for securing the bicycle to an immovable object, be clearly visible, provide shelter from weather elements, and not conflict with pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
4. Worship facilities may reduce on site parking requirements by ninety percent (90%) if the applicant shows the required number of parking spaces can be met by other private or public parking spaces located within one thousand feet (1,000') of the property. The applicant must demonstrate that these off site spaces are primarily used during noncompeting operating hours and there are pedestrian facilities to connect the off site parking to the property.
5. A reduction of up to three (3) spaces, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the minimum requirement, is permitted if a city approved, advanced charging station for electric vehicles is provided.
6. A ten percent (10%) reduction in the number of parking spaces may be permitted if a landscaped area is provided to create public space greater than three hundred (300) square feet. This landscaped public space must be in addition to the landscaping required by this title and must:
a. Be located within one hundred feet (100') of a main building entrance;
b. Have places to sit and visit with other people;
c. Be designed and constructed to accommodate pedestrians;
d. Have art features; and
e. Have at least two (2) trees and meet the landscaping standards of section 11-24-6 of this title.
B. Single-, two- and multiple-dwelling unit residential uses: For residential uses containing a single-dwelling unit or a two-dwelling unit located in any zoning district; or a multiple-dwelling unit located within an R-3, R-4, R-O, B-1, B-2, or B-3 zoning district, on street parking spaces may satisfy the off street parking requirements, on a one for one basis, for each legal on street parking space on a public street right of way that is immediately adjacent to the property containing the use. Each uninterrupted twenty (20) linear feet in the portion of the public street designated for public parking of vehicles located within imaginary extensions of the property boundaries onto the street is one parking space. If the boundary extensions intersect any continuous twenty foot (20') length used to determine a parking space, that intersected portion is considered one parking space, regardless of size.
C. Multiple-dwelling unit residential uses: A twenty percent (20%) reduction in the total number of off street parking spaces is permitted if a city approved transit stop is located within three hundred feet (300') of the property or if other transportation services are provided to and from the property.
