§ 672. Shared use of parking spaces.

The parking spaces provided for separate uses may be combined in one parking lot but the required spaces assigned to each use may not be assigned to another use, except as follows:

(a)

Shared parking between day and night users. One-half of the parking spaces assigned to a church, theater, or assembly hall whose peak attendance will be at night or on Sundays may be assigned to a use that will be closed at night or on Sundays.

(b)

Mixed use developments. Parking spaces may be shared by more than one use if the public development director finds that the total number of spaces will be adequate at the peak hours of the uses they serve. The ratios shown on table 6-3 may be used in determining the time of day and the day of the week at which the maximum number of spaces will be needed by the uses served by the shared parking facility.

(c)

Availability of shared spaces. Parking spaces that are proposed to be shared among two or more uses must be clearly available to each use and not appear in any way to be serving a particular use, either through signage dedicating the spaces or through design techniques that would tend to orient use of the spaces to a particular business or building.

(d)

Recordation of shared parking agreement. Shared parking arrangements must be committed to writing in an instrument acceptable to the public development director, and approved by the owners of each of the affected properties or uses. The instrument must be recorded with the clerk of superior court, and a copy of the recorded document must be supplied to the public development director.
