Article Four. Parking and Loading Requirements
c.
Availability of Shared Spaces. Parking spaces that are proposed to be shared among two or more uses
must be clearly available to each use and not appear in any way to be serving a particular use, either
through signage dedicating the spaces or through design techniques that would tend to orient use of the
spaces to a particular business or building.
d. Recordation of Shared Parking Agreement. Shared parking arrangements must be committed to writing in
an instrument acceptable to the Planning and Development Director and approved by the owners of each
of the affected properties or uses. The instrument must be approved by the Planning and Development
Director and shall be recorded with the Clerk of the Superior Court, and a copy of the recorded document
must be supplied to the Planning and Development Director. The document must be written to survive
future changes in ownership in perpetuity, unless the agreement is dissolved with approval by the
Director of Planning.
