§ 63.206. Rules for computing required parking.

(a)

For the purpose of computing the number of parking spaces required, the definition of "gross floor area" in section 60.207 shall apply.

(b)

When units or measurements determining the number of required parking spaces result in the requirement of a fractional space, any fraction up to and including one-half (½) shall be disregarded, and any fraction over one-half (½) shall require one (1) parking space.

(c)

In addition to the requirement of section 63.204, there shall be provided off-street parking spaces for all bars or premises licensed for entertainment class C as provided herein:

(1)

Issuance of a license to an existing structure not previously licensed for a bar or entertainment class C during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the application, off-street parking pursuant to section 63.207.

(2)

Expansion of a bar or premises licensed for entertainment class C, off-street parking pursuant to section 63.207, plus twenty-five (25) percent of any parking shortfall for the existing licensed area. "Parking shortfall" shall mean the difference between required parking pursuant to section 63.207 for the existing area as currently licensed minus the number of parking spaces actually provided for that area. The percentage of the parking shortfall to be provided shall be increased to forty (40) percent if there is a bar or premises licensed for entertainment class C within six hundred fifty (650) feet of the existing establishment.

(d)

Shared parking. The zoning administrator may authorize a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces for two (2) or more uses jointly providing off-street parking when their respective hours of peak operation do not overlap. Shared parking shall be subject to the location requirements of section 63.304 and the following conditions:

(1)

Computation. The number of shared spaces for two (2) or more distinguishable land uses shall be determined by the following procedure:

a.

Multiply the minimum parking required for each individual use, as set forth in section 63.207, Parking requirements by use, by the appropriate percentage indicated in table 63.206(d), shared parking, for each of the six (6) designated time periods.

b.

Add the resulting sums for each of the six (6) columns.

c.

The minimum shared parking requirement shall be the highest sum among the six (6) columns resulting from the above calculations.

(2)

Other uses or hours of operation. If one (1) or all of the land uses proposing to make use of shared parking facilities do not conform to the general land use classifications or hours of operation in table 63.206(d),shared parking, as determined by the zoning administrator, then the applicant shall submit sufficient data to indicate the principal operating hours of the uses. Based upon this information, the zoning administrator shall determine the appropriate shared parking requirement, if any, for such uses.

(3)

Alternative procedure. An application may be submitted requesting that the zoning administrator authorize a greater reduction in the total number of required parking spaces for two (2) or more uses where an applicant believes that table 63.206(d), shared parking, does not adequately account for circumstances unique to the particular property or properties in question. The application shall include, at a minimum, a parking study with a detailed description of the proposed uses, their hours of operation, their anticipated peak parking demand, and anticipated hours that such peak parking demand would occur. Based upon information demonstrating that the peak parking demand for the uses in question would not coincide, the zoning administrator may authorize a greater parking reduction than is authorized by table 63.206(d), shared parking.

(4)

Process. An application for shared parking shall be submitted on a form approved by the zoning administrator. The zoning administrator may impose reasonable conditions to mitigate potential negative effects of a shared parking agreement. Planning commission approval is required if a shared parking agreement involves more than twenty five (25) shared parking spaces, results in more than a thirty five (35) percent decrease in required parking, or involves three (3) or more parties or uses.

(5)

Compliance. Parties to a shared parking agreement shall submit an annual statement to the zoning administrator which verifies the nonconcurrent peak parking hours of the buildings involved with the shared parking agreement and a list of uses within each building to verify no changes have occurred that would require additional parking. If one or more of the parties or uses approved for the shared parking arrangement changes, the users shall submit an application to the zoning administrator, who will determine if the new combination of uses is eligible for a shared parking reduction or if additional off-street parking is required.
