(4) The Redevelopment Plan establishes a potential for a shared parking plan. Applicants for permits shall indicate how they will conform to the parking planif they wish to use shared parking, including potential dedication of property for shared parking or public parking lots. The city shall have broad discretion in determining whether to accept ownership and maintenance of shared parking facilities. Maintenance of public parking and other public facilities may be accomplished through creation of a Downtown Service District and may include maintenance assessments or user fees. § 156.166 PARKING AND DRIVEWAY REQUIREMENTS. (E) Notwithstanding the minimum number of parking spaces as defined by this section, a conditional use permit may be granted to provide fewer parking spaces when it is clearly demonstrated by the applicant that the use will not require the number of spaces indicated. In the event a conditional use permit is granted, a condition may be imposed to require that the land normally dedicated to parking shall be held in a landscaped reserve that can be used for parking in the event the use or parking needs should change. A landscape reserve should equal the amount of land necessary to support the number of parking spaces required to serve any more restrictive parking use of the building or structure permitted by the applicable zoning district and building codes. Downtown Master Plan Pg. 17 B. VII. Parking Strategy Balancing the realities of car-related necessities (streets, parking and so on) and the desired character is a significant challenge. The goal is to provide adequate parking, both quantity and location, while promoting new strategies that support the overall needs of the Downtown Area. Parking will be provided through a combination of on- street spaces and off- street surface lots to support the mix of uses at the core. On- street parking shall not be relied upon for minimum parking requirements. It shall only serve to allow for short-term parking adjacent to commercial establishments. Parking facilities should contribute to the overall character and image of the Downtown Area. Parking facility edge design should include elements, colors and materials that reflect, or complement surrounding buildings and landscape. Pg. 22 Characteristics: Mixed-Use Corridors (M-1) Surface parking is to be confined toprovided by each development. sShared or municipal parking facilities may enhance parking availability but should not be relied upon for minimums. Quick-stop parking needs such as dry cleaners and coffee shops or parallel parking on public or private streets are also be encouraged but will be reviewed or considered on an individual basis.
