1. The building or use requesting shared parking provided by another building or use or a parking lot at an off-site location must maintain ownership of the parking or enter into a long-term joint-use agreement revocable with City approval and reviewed by the City Attorney and filed with the City Clerk, running with the term of the designated uses. If the agreement is no longer in force, then parking must be provided as otherwise required by this chapter.
2. The building or use for which an application is being made for shared parking must be located within 800 feet from the nearest parking space to the common entrance of the principal use served.
3. The applicant must demonstrate there is no substantial overlap in the peak operating hours of the two buildings or uses sharing the parking facilities.
4. Up to 50% of parking spaces required by this ordinance for non-residential uses can be shared with an adjacent use.
5. Up to 100% of the parking spaces required by this ordinance for a church building or for an assembly facility incidental to a public or private school, may be supplied by the off-street parking lots provided by uses primarily of a "daytime" nature.
6. Up to 100% of parking spaces required by this ordinance for multi-family and the multi-family portion of a mixed-use facility can be shared with an adjacent use.
7. Off-site parking for multi-family dwellings must be located no more than 300 feet from any commonly used entrance of the principal use served.
8. Off-site parking for non-residential uses must be located within 1,000 feet from the entrance of the principal use. The distance is measured on a pedestrian route of travel such as a sidewalk from the nearest parking space to the entrance of the principal use served.
9. Reasonable continuous pedestrian and vehicle access from off-site parking facilities to the use being served must be provided.
10. Off-site parking for single-family through fourplex dwellings is not permitted.
