(a) Shared Parking Reduction. Where two or more adjacent nonresidential uses have distinct and differing peak parking usage periods, (e.g. a theater and a bank), a reduction in the required number of parking spaces may be approved by the Commission based on the findings and recommendations of a parking study prepared by a qualified parking or traffic consultant. The amount of reduction may be up to the number of spaces required for the least intensive of the uses sharing the parking.
(b) Transportation Control Measures. Parking requirements may be adjusted in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 83.14 (Transportation Control Measures). An approved Conditional Use Permit/Minor Use Permit (Chapter 85.06) may authorize adjustments to parking requirement not to exceed individually or cumulatively ten percent of the total required parking spaces, as depicted in Table 83-16.
