The purpose of required parking spaces is to provide enough on site parking to accommodate the majority of traffic generated by the range of uses which might locate at the site over time. The required parking numbers correspond to use categories, as well as specific uses, in response to this long term emphasis. Expansion, reconstruction, or change in legal, nonconforming situations shall be governed by the terms of section 17.01.170 of this title. The number of parking stalls required by specific land uses is listed in table 17.05.570-1 of this section.
Up to fifty percent (50%) of required parking spaces may be provided off site in a city approved parking lot which is located within a five hundred foot (500') radius of the subject site, which parking lot may be owned by a third party, provided a signed agreement from the third party parking lot owner is obtained and the shared parking arrangement does not reduce the third party owner's parking spaces below code requirements for the owner's use.
