§ 20.90.200. Off-site, alternating use and alternative parking arrangements - Vehicle or bicycle.

A.

The following off-street parking arrangements may be permitted with a special use permit in accordance with Chapter 20.100:

1.

Parking facilities on a lot other than the lot occupied by the building or use which they are required to serve where the lots are not contiguous or there is no recordation of a cross-access easement with reciprocal parking.

2.

Alternating use of common parking facilities where certain uses generate parking demands during hours when the remaining uses are not in operation (for example, if one use operates during the day time or on weekends and the other use operates at night or on weekdays).

3.

Parking facilities which accommodate the required number of spaces in an alternative parking design.

B.

In addition to any other findings required for a special use permit, the director, or planning commission on appeal, may approve such off-street parking facilities arrangements only upon making the following findings:

1.

The number of off-street parking spaces provided in such parking facilities adequately meets the parking requirements of the individual buildings and uses as specified in this Chapter 20.90 of this title;

2.

It is reasonably certain that the parking facility shall continue to be provided and maintained at the same location for the service of the building or use for which such facility is required, during the life of the building or use; and

3.

The parking facility is reasonably convenient and accessible to the buildings or uses to be served.

C.

As a condition precedent to approving such off-street parking facilities arrangements, the director, or planning commission on appeal, shall require:

1.

Satisfactory statements and evidence by the parties involved in the parking arrangement describing the nature of the use or uses, the timing of demand for such parking, if applicable, and the provisions which are to be made to meet the specific parking requirements under this title.

2.

Such other documents, agreements, commitments, and such other evidence as is deemed necessary in each case.

D.

The director may issue a site development permit rather than a special use permit to allow tandem parking spaces on-site to satisfy up to fifty percent of the required number of off-street parking spaces when all of the following criteria are met:

1.

This site development permit may be issued only upon a finding, based on an adequate parking management plan, that the reconfiguration of spaces will be adequate to meet the required number of off-street parking spaces generated by the project.
