COMMON REGULATIONS sites. iii. Calculation for Certain Uses. For uses for which required parking is based on number of dwelling units, floor area, seats, or beds, the number of required parking spaces shall be determined from drawings provided by the applicant and may be further confirmed by measurement of the actual built floor area. When calculation of required parking results in a fraction, then the fraction shall be rounded to the next higher whole number. iv. Calculation for Mixed-Uses. For properties having mixed or multiple uses, the number of required parking spaces shall be the sum of those required for the various uses computed separately, except as otherwise provided. F. Minimum Off-Street Parking Space Requirement Reductions. i. Minimum Off-Street Parking Space Reduction Standards. The minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by Table 1105.01A may be reduced for a land use or land uses upon approval of an application demonstrating one or more of the off-street parking space reduction conditions set forth under Sections (F)(ii), F(v), F(vi), or F(vii) below; provided however, under no circumstances shall the cumulative reduction of minimum parking spaces exceed 30% of the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required for a land use. ii. Shared Parking Plan. Where a mix of land uses on one or more properties or within one or more buildings can demonstrate parking utilization in staggered peak periods, a shared parking plan may be approved by the Planning and Zoning Administrator to the reduce the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces for the applicable land use(s). A shared parking plan for the reduction of off-street parking requirements may be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Administrator subject to the following requirements: 1. Shared parking plans must incorporate parking facilities located within five hundred feet (500 ft.) of the subject property or subject properties; and 2. To the greatest extent practicable, adjacent lots included in a shared parking plan shall be connected for vehicular passage and shall provide safe and efficient pedestrian access to all uses served by the parking facilities. iii. Review of Shared Parking Plan. A decision pertaining to an application for a shared parking plan shall be based on the following factors: 1. The number of parking spaces otherwise required for the land uses that will share the parking facilities designated in the shared parking plan; 2. Documentation that the peak parking utilization for the land uses occurs at different days and/or times; 3. The demonstrated accessibility of the shared parking facilities; and 4. Such other relevant documentation as the applicant(s) may provide to the City in conjunction with a parking reduction application. iv. Effect of Approval of Shared Parking Plan. When a shared parking plan application is approved, the modified number of required off-street parking spaces for the applicable land uses shall be the largest number of parking spaces needed for the applicable land uses during the most intensive time period of parking utilization as demonstrated by the evidence presented with the application. 126
