(A)
|
In the CB district, commercial parking requirements established
by this table shall not apply. In the CB district, parking requirements
shall be one space for every 1,200 square feet of commercial space.
This requirement shall apply to new construction only. Parking requirements
associated with developments in the RC, RC1, RC2, NB, CB, GB, HB,
IP, LI and TED districts shall be in accordance with the provisions
set forth in this title. However, parking lots separate from the lot
accommodating the principal use in the RC, RC1, GB, NB, CB, HB, IP
and TED districts, but in common ownership, shall be allowed, provided
that the lots are within 100 feet of the building's principal
entrance which fronts on a public right-of-way. Parking lots separate
from the lot accommodating the principal use in the RC2 district shall
be allowed, provided that the lots are within 300 feet of the building's
principal entrance which fronts on a public right-of-way. The determination
of the distance from the principal entrance of the building to the
potential parking lot shall be the responsibility of the building
inspector, who shall apply the distance criteria in a straight-line
method. An agreement shall be recorded dedicating the parcel to parking
use for the reasonable life of the building.
