All parking and loading facilities required by this chapter shall be located on the same site as the use for which they are required, provided that the Town Council may permit off site or jointly used parking facilities if located within 300 feet of the use served. Authority to permit off site or joint parking facilities shall not extend to parking spaces required by this title to be located within the main building on a site, but may extend to parking spaces permitted to be unenclosed. Prior to permitting off site or joint parking facilities, the Council shall determine that the proposed location of the parking facilities and the prospective operation and maintenance of the facilities will fulfill the purposes of this chapter, will be as usable and convenient as parking facilities located on the site of the use, and will not cause traffic congestion or an unsightly concentration of parked cars. The Council may require such legal instruments as it deems necessary to ensure unified operation and control of joint parking facilities or to ensure the continuation of such facilities, including evidence of ownership, long term lease or easement.
