§ 155.108 OFF-STREET PARKING AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
   (A)   Units of measure. The following rules shall apply when computing parking spaces.
      (1)   On-street parking. On-street parking spaces shall not be counted toward off-street parking space requirements.
      (2)   Driveway space. Entrances, exits, or driveways shall not be computed as any part of a required parking lot or area, except in the case of single-family and two-family dwellings where driveways may be used in calculating the amount of off-street parking.
      (3)   Multiple uses. Unless otherwise noted or approved, off-street parking areas serving more than one use shall provide parking in an amount equal to the combined total of the requirements for each use.
      (4)   Area measurements.
         (a)   Unless otherwise specifically noted, all square footage-based parking standards shall be computed on the basis of gross floor area of all floors of a nonresidential or mixed use building.
         (b)   The areas of a nonresidential or mixed use building that are used for storage, restrooms, loading/unloading, mechanical equipment, stairwells, and elevator shafts may be excluded from the gross floor area calculation.
         (c)   When a measurement of the number of required spaces results in a fractional number, the fraction shall be rounded up to the next highest whole number.
         (d)   Parking space requirements for a use not specifically mentioned in this code shall be determined by using the most similar and restrictive parking space requirements as specified by the Safety and Service Director.
   (B)   Number of off-street parking space requirements. Table 8: Off-Street Parking Space Requirements defines the number of parking spaces required for each use within the city.

   (C)   Appeal for reduction. The Board of Zoning Appeals may authorize, on appeal, a reduction in the number of required parking spaces if an exceptional situation or condition exists, if alternative parking methods such as shared parking, off-street parking, and/or bicycle parking are proposed to be used, or if a parking plan is presented that demonstrates the number of required parking spaces based on the size and nature of the use, hours of operation, estimated number of patrons/customers, number of employees, availability of off-street parking, and other similar situations.
   (D)   Approval. The Safety and Service Director may approve a reduction in the number of parking spaces required up to 10% of the number required per Table 8: Off-Street Parking Space Requirements.
   (E)   Shared parking.
      (1)   Shared parking is encouraged and permitted if the multiple uses that the shared parking will benefit can cooperatively establish and operate the facilities.
      (2)   The owner or owner’s authorized agent shall provide any applicable documentation or information to substantiate the request for a reduction of the total number of parking spaces. Shared parking may be approved if:
         (a)   A sufficient number of spaces are provided to meet the highest demand of the participating uses;
         (b)   Evidence has been submitted by the parties operating the shared parking facility, to the satisfaction of Planning Commission, documenting the nature of the land uses and the times when the individual uses will be in operation to demonstrate a lack of potential conflict between them.
         (c)   The shared parking spaces will not be located in excess of 500 feet from the uses that they are intended to serve;
         (d)   Pedestrian connectivity shall be provided between the use that it is intended to serve and the shared parking location; and
         (e)   A shared parking agreement shall be submitted and approved by the Safety and Service Director that documents how the shared parking agreement shall accommodate the needs of each user. This agreement shall include provisions, evidence of deed restrictions or other recorded covenants that ensure that the spaces will be properly maintained during the life of the development.
   (F)   Parking spaces for the disabled. Parking spaces required for the disabled shall be provided in compliance with the applicable state and federal requirements. All spaces should be located so that they provide easy access from the closest parking spaces to the major entrances of the use for which they are provided.
   (G)   Continuation of facilities. Off-street parking areas, that are accessory to existing or proposed uses, shall continue to be maintained and operational for the life of the use. Such parking areas shall not be used for automobile sales, service, or repair of motor vehicles unless specifically approved on a zoning permit.
