Stat. § 15.99, Minn. Stat. � 462.358, and other applicable laws and ordinances.

Shared parking proposals are encouraged and should reference the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Guidelines or similar guidance. Plans including off-street parking and loading facilities within the Gateway District shall be reviewed by the City Engineer and City Planner. If, upon review, either consultant determines that an alternative to the proposed parking plan is desirable, it will recommend an alternate puking plan to the Planning Commission, which shall make a recommendation to the City Council for final review and approval. 9.9.3 The Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may require a contribution of land or money toward community parking facilities in lieu of providing off-street parking facilities on the property to be developed. 9.9.4 On -grade parking areas within lots are prohibited within any front yard setback or in front of the principal building.
