On- street parking allowed by this provision shall not be counted toward the maximum amount of off-street parking allowed. (G) 2. Reduction for Shared Parking. The amount of off street parking required may be reduced by an amount determined by the Planning Director when it can be shown through a parking demand study that sufficient parking is or can be met by the subject uses through shared parking. The parking demand study shall provide information and evidence about the anticipated parking demand at peak times during a day and the distance relationship between available shared parking spaces and the specific uses served. A shared parking agreement shall be executed and recorded prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion by the Building Safety Division. (S) 3. Maximum Total Reductions. Total cumulative reductions to the minimum off street parking requirements through application shall not exceed twen -fi cent. 4.2. Parking Lots and Structures. A. Intent. To ensure a more pedestrian- oriented and pedestrian— friendly environment, off street parking facilities, especially surface parking Tots, must not dominate the street front, but should instead be sited, designed, and screened to be as unobtrusive as possible. Perimeter and interior landscaping shall be required for screening and /or to break up hard- surfaced parking lots and soften their edges. B. Remote Parking Allowed. The city may permit all or a portion of required off-street parking to be located off -site subject to the following standards: I. Location. Remote off street parking spaces shall be located no farther than six hundred (600) feet away from the principal building they are intended to serve, as measured from the nearest point of the remote off street parking facility to the nearest point of the building or structure served. (S) 2. Zoning Classification. Remote parking areas shall be considered accessory to the principal use that the parking spaces are intended to serve. Parking areas shall require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses served by the remote parking area, provided that remote parking facilities may be located in any zoning district that allows commercial parking lots and garages. (S) 3. Remote Parking Agreement. If a remote parking area is not under the same ownership as the principal use served, an executed and recorded written agreement among the owners of record shall be required. A remote parking agreement may be revoked by the parties to the agreement only if off street parking is provided under this Section.
