1. Applicability. For multiple uses that share a parking lot, a reduction of the total required off-street parking spaces may be granted by the Zoning Administrator through an application for Minor Site Plan Review (see § 156.03.C.2.b.(2) (Minor Site Plan Review)).
2. General Requirements. The following requirements apply to all shared parking agreements.
a. Any change in ownership or use of a lot shall cause the applicant or property owner to meet the minimum parking requirements established by this Section, or arrange a new shared parking agreement. In the event that a change in ownership or use should occur, the applicant or property owner must provide written notification to the Zoning Administrator. Within 60 days of that notice, the applicant shall provide a satisfactory resolution to the Zoning Administrator that provides adequate parking or the condition will be considered a zoning violation.
b. Shared parking may be located off-site provided it complies with the location requirements of § 156.08.B.1.c.(1) (Off-Premises Parking Facilities).
3. Shared Parking Among Lots Under Different Ownership. When a shared parking reduction is applied to uses on lots under different ownership, the following shall be provided to the Zoning Administrator:
a. A site plan that provides for interconnected lots.
b. Recorded easements that provide:
(1) Cross-access among the parking areas to permit pedestrian access and off-street parking by the different uses in the connected properties.
(2) Allocation of maintenance responsibilities.
(3) A pedestrian circulation system that connects uses and parking areas.
4. Calculation. Shared parking allows a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces in situations where a parcel is occupied by two or more uses which typically do not experience peak parking demands at the same time. When any land or building is used for two or more uses that are listed in Table 156.08.D-A. Shared Parking Calculation, the minimum total number of required parking spaces may be determined by the following procedure:
a. Multiply the minimum required parking for each individual use by the appropriate percentage listed in Table 156.08.D-A. Shared Parking Calculation for each of the designated time periods.
b. Calculate a sum for all uses for each of the five time periods in each column. The minimum parking requirement is the highest of these sums.

5. Special Shared Parking Study. As an alternative to the methodology established in § 156.08.D.4 (Calculation), an applicant may submit a special shared parking study to the Zoning Administrator to demonstrate that the parking demand for multiple uses is less than the cumulative parking requirements for each individual use. The special shared parking study shall be conducted by a qualified professional at the applicant's expense.
