Off -Street Parking, Loading and Transportation from the nearest edge of the parking area to the nearest public entry point of the building or use provided that the facility makes the spaces available and there is no conflict between peak times when the uses are in need of the parking facilities. 3. A request for shared parking that will result in fewer than the total number of spaces required for all uses separately may be approved by the reviewing authority as part of the development plan review if supported by a shared parking analysis. A shared parking analysis must address, at a minimum, the size and type of the proposed development or combination of uses, the composition of tenants, the anticipated rate of parking turnover and the anticipated peak parking and traffic loads for all uses that will be sharing off-street parking spaces. 4. A shared parking plan shall be enforced through written agreement among all owners of record and included in the development plan filed with the City. The owner of the shared parking area shall enter into a written agreement including access and parking easements, with authorization for enforcement by the City. The agreement shall state: a. The land comprising the parking area shall remain subject to the easement and parking agreement in perpetuity, in conjunction with the sale of' the building which the parking area serves; and b. The owner agrees to bear the expense of recording the agreement which shall bind his or her heirs, successors, and assigns. 5. An attested copy of the shared parking easement and°`agreement between the owners of record shall be submitted to the Planning and Development Director and recorded in a form established by the Law Director. The easement and agreement must be recorded before issuance of a building permit or certificate of occupancy for any use to be served by the shared parking area. A shared parking easement and agreement may only be revoked if all required off-street parking spaces will be provided on-site following the review and approval of the City. Upon written request signed by all property owners of record, the City may approve the parties' recission of the written agreement and the City may consent to satisfaction and release of the easement but only if other off-street facilities are provided in accord with this Zoning Code. D. Modification of Parking Requirements: The reviewing authority may reduce the parking space requirements of this chapter for any use, based upon a finding that one (1) or more of the following conditions shall be met: 1. Other forms of travel (such as transit, bicycle or pedestrian) are available and likely to be used and, in particular, the site design will incorporate both bicycle parking facilities and pedestrian connections. 2. Shared parking is available to multiple uses where there will be a high proportion of multipurpose visits or where uses have peak parking demands during differing times of the day or days of the week and meeting the following requirements: a.' `Pedestrian connections shall be maintained between the uses; and b.' Unless the multiple uses are located on parcels under the same ownership, shared parking agreements shall be filed as required in Subsection C5 above. 3. Expectation of walk-in trade is reasonable due to sidewalk connections to adjacent residential neighborhoods or employment centers. The site design incorporates pedestrian connections to and through the site, providing safe and convenient access to the building entrance. 4. The applicant has provided a parking study, conducted by a qualified transportation engineer, demonstrating that another standard would be more appropriate based on actual number of employees, expected level of customer traffic or actual counts at a similar establishment.
