The minimum parking requirements listed in this Chapter 14-800 may be adjusted as follows:
(.1) Where two land uses listed in separate use categories in § 14-601 (Use Categories) share a parking lot, parking lots, or structure, the total off-street parking required for those uses may be reduced by the factors shown in Table 14-802-6. Total off-street parking required shall be the sum of the two parking requirements for the two uses divided by the factors in Table 14-802-6. For example, where a development includes both (a) public, civic, and institutional uses and (b) retail sales uses, the amount of parking required is the sum of the parking required for the two uses divided by 1.3.
(.2) Only those use categories shown in Table 14-802-6 shall be eligible for a reduction under § 14-802(8)(a)(.1).
(.3) Where more than two land uses shown in Table 14-802-6 share a parking lot, parking lots, or structure, only the two uses with the greatest off-street parking requirement shall be eligible for a reduction under § 14-802(8)(a)(.1).

The required minimum number of off-street parking spaces for a residential use may be reduced by four spaces for each automobile parking space reserved as an auto-share parking space, up to a maximum of a forty percent (40%) reduction in the required minimum number of parking spaces in any one surface parking lot or parking garage. The calculation of maximum surface parking spaces shall not be affected by this reduction.
