A. Alternative Parking Plan.
An alternative parking plan may be approved by the City Manager or designee for specific developments that are deemed to require a different amount of parking than the standards shown in the off-street parking requirements table. The City Manager or designee shall establish conditions necessary to ensure the adequacy of future on-site parking when approving an alternate parking plan.
Any alternative standard shall meet the criteria below:
 

1. The use of the building is specific and occupied by a single user.
2. The applicant provides a detailed breakdown of their parking demand indicating employee counts, shift distribution and visitor or customer needs.
3. The applicant provides a site plan showing how additional parking to meet standard requirements would be provided if the use changed or parking needs increase.

B. Shared Parking.
Required parking for one use may satisfy the requirements for another use if the nonresidential uses have different peak hour parking needs and the following:
 

1. The following documentation shall be submitted to the city as part of the review process if requesting shared parking:

a. The names and addresses of the uses and the owners or tenants that are sharing the parking;
b. The location and number of parking spaces that are being shared;
c. An analysis showing that the peak parking demands for the different uses occur at different times and that the parking area will supply at least the minimum number of required spaces for each use during its respective peak parking time;
d. A legal instrument such as an easement that guarantees access to the joint parking for all uses;
e. A shared parking agreement executed by all the users and the owner of the property proposed to be used for parking; and
f. The agreement shall be notarized and recorded, with a provision that the consent of the city must be obtained for termination of the agreement.

2. In the event of the termination of an existing shared parking agreement, a new shared parking agreement shall be executed within sixty (60) days prior to termination. If a new shared parking agreement is not executed, then documentation shall be submitted to the City Manager or designee supporting that the uses on all affected properties meet their respective parking requirements. This process of amending a shared parking agreement applies to all existing parking agreements impacted by sale, change of use, or expansions on any affected property.
 

In limited cases, off-site parking agreements, and reciprocal access and parking agreements may be approved by the City Manager or designee.
