Sec. 59-E-3.1. Mixed uses.
   (a)   When any land or building is under the same ownership or under a joint use agreement and is used for 2 or more purposes, the number of parking spaces is computed by multiplying the minimum amount of parking normally required for each land use by the appropriate percentage as shown in the following parking credit schedule for each of the 5 time periods shown. The number of parking spaces required is determined by totaling the resulting numbers in each column; the column total that generates the highest number of parking spaces then becomes the parking requirement.

1   The Board of Appeals may reduce this parking requirement in areas where public parking is available or when the meeting center will be utilized only by other commercial or industrial uses which are located within 800 feet of the meeting center and provide their own parking spaces.
   (b)    The following conditions apply to any parking facility for mixed use development:
      (1)   The mixed use property and shared parking facility must be owned by the same developer/owner, or under a joint use agreement. Parking must be located within 500 feet walking distance of the entrance to the establishment to be served. Any parking arrangement under a joint use agreement must meet the off-site parking facility requirements of Sec. 59-E-3.4.
      (2)   Reserved spaces may not be shared.
      (3)   The Director/Planning Board must determine, at the time of parking facility plan approval that shared parking is possible and appropriate at the location proposed. Particular attention is needed to assure that sufficient and convenient short-term parking will be available to commercial establishments during the weekday daytime period. The shared parking spaces must be located in the most convenient and visible area of the parking facility nearest the establishment being served.
      (4)   A subsequent change in use requires a new use-and-occupancy permit and proof that sufficient parking will be available.
