§ 30.80.140. Shared Parking Permit.
A.
Where two or more non-residential uses will be operated with no substantial overlap in the hours of operation of the uses, a portion of the off-street parking spaces required and provided for one or more of the uses(s) may be provided as Shared Parking spaces subject to approval of a Shared Parking Permit.
B.
The decision on an application for a Shared Parking Permit shall be made by the Planning Commission. A decision by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council within ten working days from the date of the Planning Commission's approval. Any appeal of the Planning Commission's decision shall be filed in accordance with the procedures set forth in DMMC Chapter 1.12.
C.
In reviewing an application for a Shared Parking Permit, the Planning Commission shall apply the following standards and requirements:
1.
The applicant shall demonstrate that there will be no substantial overlap in the principal operating hours of the buildings or uses for which the Shared Parking spaces are proposed. For purposes of this Section, the term "no substantial overlap" shall mean that, on a daily basis, there will be at least 30 minutes between the time of closing of one use or activity and the opening of the other use or activity for which shared parking is proposed. The requirement for this separation of time between operation of uses enumerated herein shall not apply to normal support services such as cleaning and maintenance operations.
2.
Not more than 66 percent of the off-street parking spaces required for a use or activity may be satisfied through the use of a Shared Parking Permit.
3.
Parking spaces to be used for Shared Parking shall be unencumbered for any uses or activities other than those for which the Shared Parking Permit is proposed.
4.
All Shared Parking spaces shall meet the location, design and layout requirements for off-street parking spaces specified in this Chapter.
5.
Any proposal for Shared Parking which is to be located off-site, shall be also subject to the receipt of an Off-Site Parking Permit in accordance with Section 30.80.150.
6.
A Shared Parking Permit shall be recorded as a covenant against the deed for the property on which the Shared Parking spaces are located. The purpose of the covenant shall be to memorialize the terms and conditions of the Shared Parking Permit and to inform subsequent property owners and business operators of the restrictions on use and parking which apply to the site. The recorded covenant shall specify the operating hours, as conditioned, of the businesses for which a Shared Parking Permit has been approved.
