[Ord. 672]
(a)
Location of Parking Facilities. Required parking facilities as specified
in this section shall be located:
(1)
On the same lot or parcel of land as the use such parking facilities
are intended to serve; or
(2)
On a lot or parcel of land held under joint ownership provided
such parking facilities are located adjoining the use or uses served.
(3)
On a lot or parcel of land separated only by an alley or street
from the lot or parcel of land on which the use or uses served are
located provided:
(i)
That said lots or parcels of land are in the same or joint ownership
and separated only by an alley or street; and
(ii)
That said lots or parcels of land would be contiguous,
if not separated by said alley or street, for a distance of not more
than 40 feet; and
(iii)
That such parking facilities are in close proximity
to the actual use or uses served.
(b)
Loading Facilities. Required loading facilities shall be located
on the same lot or parcel of land as the use served.
(c)
Ingress and Egress. Required parking and loading facilities shall
be provided with easily accessible and adequate ingress and egress

Reduction or Encroachment.
(1)
Land within the right-of-way of a proposed street, or within
the planned ultimate right-of-way on a street proposed to be widened,
shall not be used to provide required parking or loading facilities.
(2)
Where vehicular access to a garage, carport, or automobile storage
space on the same lot or parcel of land as the residential structure
to which said parking facility would be accessory, is not possible
from any street or alley due to topographical or other conditions,
or is so difficult to achieve that to require such access is unreasonable
in the opinion of the Commission, such garage, carport or automobile
storage space is not required if alternate parking facilities, approved
by the Commission, are provided.
(3)
Required parking or loading facilities may not be reduced or
encroached upon, except on approval by the Commission under the following
circumstances:
(i)
Required parking and loading areas may be reduced by the amount
to which an equivalent space, similarly situated and subject to the
same or current standards, conditions and limitations, is provided
for the use to which said facilities are appurtenant.
(ii)
Where the floor area of a building is reduced,
the area devoted to require parking and loading facilities based on
the floor area of said building may be proportionally reduced.
[Ord. 672]
(a)
For Uses on Separate Lots or Parcels of Land. Required parking facilities
may be provided collectively for two or more buildings or uses located
on separate lots or parcels of land, provided that the total area
of such facilities does not equal less than the combined requirements
for the individual uses.
(b)
For Uses with Varying Requirements Located on the Same Lot or Parcel
of Land.
(1)
In the event that uses having varying parking and loading requirements
are located on the same lot or parcel of land, the facilities provided,
including collective parking facilities, shall equal the sum total
of the requirements for the various individual uses computed separately
in accordance with provisions in this article.
(2)
Parking and loading facilities designated for one use may not
be counted or considered as also providing required parking or loading
facilities for any other use.
[Ord. 672]
Property on which required parking is established, shall be under the same ownership as the use it is intended to serve. Any joint ownership or operation resulting from the establishment of collective parking facilities as provided in § 9-7.602 (Combined Parking or Loading Facilities), shall be construed as complying with this provision.
