B.
For development outside of the Downtown Parking Zone, the Planning
and. Zoning Commission and Town Council may consider off-site parking
to be used in an applicant's parking requirement through counting
spaces on the street (parking waiver) or by allowing an off-site parking
lot (parking away from use) concurrent with a building permit application.
(1)
Off-site parking plan requirements:
(a)
The separate lot must be within 900 feet of the permitted use.
(b)
The separate lot must be located within a zoning district where
the parking of vehicles is a permitted use.
(c)
An off-site parking lot may not directly abut Pine Street.
(d)
Shared parking that is shared by more than one owner requires
a cross-parking agreement with notarized signatures being filed at
the Town.
(e)
Shared parking is permitted for uses that overlap. Two uses
with the same hours of operation may not share a parking lot unless
the number of spaces meets both requirements. In a truly shared situation,
the number of spaces required shall be for the greater use, unless
just providing a portion of the spaces.
(f)
A site plan showing the parking layout with entrances and exits,
proximity to permitted uses, required number of spaces for permitted
uses, and drainage and snow storage must be submitted.
(g)
Approval or disapproval. The parking plan may be reviewed by
other departments and must be approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Town Council. Any approval may establish necessary
conditions and limitations.
(h)
All off-site parking plans which have been approved and recorded
shall be binding upon the owners of the land area and structures included
in the special plan and their successors and assigns and shall control
all zoning permits and certificates and the use and operation of the
designated structures and land area.
(i)
Amendment or withdrawal of off-site parking plan. Plans may
be amended or withdrawn through the same process by which they first
gained approval.
(2)
Parking waiver requirements. If an applicant cannot meet the
number of required parking spaces on site they may apply to the Town
to allow spaces within the adjacent street to be counted. The application
must include the following on a site plan and may be considered concurrently
with the building permit application.
(a)
The number of spaces that can be provided on site.
(b)
The number of public parking spaces within 900 feet of the permitted
use.
(c)
The types of uses and hours of operation of uses within 900
feet of the permitted use.
(d)
The applicant's proposed use and hours of operation.
(e)
Residential and industrial use is not eligible for the parking
waiver.
(f)
The Zoning Administrator shall make a determination whether
to make a recommendation to issue the waiver based on whether the
area can handle the increased demand by assessing the quantity of
parking available in the area, whether the streets are developed with
sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and designated parking spaces, the overlap
of existing uses and hours of operation.
(g)
Approval or disapproval. The parking plan may be reviewed by
other departments and must be approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Town Council. Any approval may establish necessary
conditions and limitations.
A.
Elimination of spaces. No structure shall be erected or enlarged,
nor shall any use be enlarged, if such action will eliminate existing
required parking spaces.
B.
Parking requirements. Applicants shall provide the following parking
spaces on the same parcel as the use, unless a parking waiver or parking
plan is approved. Parking spaces are required for any new construction
and/or additions that increase the square footage whether horizontally
or vertically.
