(a) Public Facilities Available. The required spaces as determined by the schedule set forth in Section 1282.05 may be modified by the Planning Commission in the City's central business area where free parking areas or publicly-owned parking areas are readily accessible and where land is not available for development of accessory off-street parking, as required herein, and where public transportation is used extensively.
(b) Parking for Single and Mixed Uses. A building occupied by one use shall provide the off-street parking spaces as required for the specific use. A building or a group of buildings, occupied by two or more uses and operating normally during the same hours, shall provide spaces for not less than the sum of the spaces required for each use. For a large unit development of business uses, such as a shopping center, spaces shall be provided based on the total area of the building or buildings, as set forth in the schedule provided in Section 1282.05, instead of on the requirements for each separate use.
(c) Joint Use of Parking Facilities. Churches, civic clubs, community centers, auditoriums, lodge halls, gymnasiums and stadiums may make arrangements with business establishments which normally have different hours of operation for sharing up to, but not more than, 50% of their requirements in adjacent parking areas which are accessory to such business uses. However, where there is a sharing of facilities by different owners or tenants, there shall be an agreement covering a specific period of time as may be required by the Planning Commission. Should any of the uses be changed or the facilities discontinued, then the required spaces for the use or uses remaining shall be provided elsewhere as a condition precedent to the continued use of said building or buildings.
