1. The purpose for off street parking requirements is to provide adequate parking for the intended use of a parcel while eliminating the need to park in the public right-of-way. The number of off street parking spaces required in connection with any particular land use shall not be less than that set forth in this chapter, except in accordance with section 11-12-9 of this chapter.
2. Every building, structure, improvement and use shall provide permanent, maintained off street parking as specified in this chapter.

Off street parking shall not be located within twenty feet (20') of the front property line off a public street. In no case shall required parking be located across a public street without written approval of the city council.

2. Lighting: Any lights provided or required to illuminate a parking area shall be arranged in a manner that will reflect light away from adjacent properties.
3. Joint Use Of Lot Or Facility: The Land Use Authority may approve the joint use of a parking lot or facility; provided that, the applicant can show that conflict between the different users can be effectively eliminated, based on a professionally prepared parking analysis. For instance, willing parties such as a church and a commercial business may share parking facilities if typical heavy use parking times allow. Any arrangement to share parking must be recorded in the office of the Salt Lake County recorder.
