(A) Special study required. Two or more uses may share parking facilities, subject to minor modification in accordance with Chapter 16.222 of this Title 16, and the provisions of this section. A parking demand analysis for the uses proposed to share parking facilities must be prepared by a registered traffic engineer or other appropriately licensed professional. When such analysis demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Director, that the uses have different peak parking requirements, then the Director may reduce the parking space requirement. In no event, however, may the parking requirement be reduced below the highest peak-parking requirement of the use demanding the most parking.
(B) Conditions.
(1) The uses sharing the parking facilities must be located on the same or contiguous lots.
(2) A legal agreement must be signed by all parties sharing parking facilities. Such agreement must be approved by the City Attorney and Planning Director, must be recorded with the Ventura County Recorder's Office, and must continue to be valid upon change of ownership of any property subject to the agreement or any lawfully existing building or structure on said properties.
(3) Shared parking arrangements may be authorized by any discretionary permit issued for the use for which the parking is provided. Where no discretionary permit is required, such shared parking arrangements must meet all other requirements of this subsection (B).
