(a) Allowance for Shared Parking. The shared use of required parking spaces shall be permitted for uses that are not normally open, used or operated during the same hours, provided that not more than 50 percent of the required parking spaces are shared. In any case where the required parking paces are collectively or jointly provided and used, a written agreement thereby assuring their retention for such purposes shall be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved as to form by legal counsel, and filed with the application for zoning approval.
(b) Deferred Construction of Required Spaces. If the number of parking spaces required in Schedule 1181.03 is substantially larger than the number anticipated by the applicant and the applicant provides sufficient evidence that supports the reduced parking needs, a site plan may be approved with a lesser number of parking spaces provided:
(1) The total number of spaces initially provided shall not be less than 70 percent of the spaces required by Schedule 1181.03.
(2) Suitable area(s) must be reserved for the construction of the balance of the total number of spaces otherwise required by Schedule 1181.03 and shall be illustrated on the site plan in locations and with landscaping in full compliance with this Code.
(3) That Council, upon reevaluation of the project's parking needs, may at any time direct that some or all of the landbanked spaces be constructed.
(4) Any additional parking shall be provided according to the approved site plan and only after approval of the construction plans by the City Engineer.
