(b) Requirements for Additional Buildings or Uses. For buildings or uses not scheduled above, the Planning Commission shall apply the unit of measurement set forth in the above schedule which is deemed to be most similar to the proposed building or use.
(c) Parking for Mixed Uses and Joint Uses. Shared or joint use of up to fifty percent (50%) of required parking spaces may be permitted and credited to the individual uses for two (2) or more uses located on the same parcel, or adjacent parcels, provided that the developer or property owner can demonstrate to the Planning Director that the uses will not substantially overlap in hours of operation or in demand for the shared spaces. This shall be guaranteed by a written agreement from the owner or between the owners involved and all future owners or assigns which shall be submitted with the required plan. Shared parking spaces shall be located no more than three hundred feet (300') from the uses they are intended to serve.
Joint use of parking areas is encouraged. The Planning Commission may permit parking to extend to the side or rear property line in the case of a joint parking area.
