Fifty percent of parking facilities used primarily for daytime use shall be available for nighttime use provided the parking area is contiguous with the owner’s properties and there are recorded covenants between the owners allowing such use of the parking facilities.

Any building or structure erected or located after the effective date of this Ordinance or any subsequent amendments thereto shall be required to provide off-street parking and loading facilities in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

Whenever the existing use of a structure or the existing use of land is changed to another use or another occupancy, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by this Ordinance.

When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, floor area, seating capacity or other units of measurement specified herein, the additional required parking and loading facilities for such increase shall be provided.

Any use of property which on the effective date of this Ordinance, or of any subsequent amendment thereto, is non-conforming only as to the regulations relating to off-street parking and loading facilities, may be continued in the same manner as if the parking and loading facilities were conforming. However, such parking facilities as they exist shall not be further reduced.

Nothing in this Ordinance shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this Ordinance, provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design and operation of such facilities are adhered to.

The off-street parking facilities required by this Ordinance shall be located on the same lot or parcel of land as the use they are intended to serve, except that in cases of practical difficulty, the City Building Official may approve a substitute location which meets the following conditions:

1. That all or part of the substitute location is within 400 feet from the principal use for which the parking is being provided. Said distance shall be measured as walking distance along a public street or sidewalk; and
2. That the substitute lot is in the same possession as the use it is intended to serve. Such possession may be by deed or long term lease, the terms of which meet the approval of the City Building Official. The present and future owners of the substitute lot shall be bound by covenants filed in the office of the County Recorder requiring such owner to maintain the required number of parking spaces for the duration of the use served.

For the purpose of computing off-street parking spaces which are required by this Ordinance, the following rules shall apply:

1. Floor area shall mean gross floor area, unless otherwise specified for a particular use.
2. In stadiums, sports arenas, churches and other places of assembly in which benches or pews are used in place of seats, each eighteen (18) inches of length of such benches or pews shall be counted as one (1) seat.
3. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of less than one half (1/2) may be disregarded while a fraction of one half (1/2) or more shall be counted as one (1) required parking space.
4. On-street parking shall not be counted towards meeting the parking requirements.

In the event that two (2) or more uses occupy the same building, lot, parcel of land, or are part of a singular development; the total requirements for off-street parking and off-street loading spaces shall be the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately. An exception may be granted to this section as follows:

1. The City Engineer may authorize a reduction in the minimum required off-street parking spaces up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total parking stalls required under the following conditions:
   1. When it can be found that the buildings or uses within the development share general customer traffic; and/or when it can be found that the buildings or uses within the development generate parking demands separately such that each use would require parking during hours when the remaining uses are not in operation.
   2. No reduction in the required off-street loading spaces will be allowed.
   3. A parking study shall be prepared by a licensed transportation engineer and provided by the proponent demonstrating findings for the requested parking reduction.
   4. All parties sharing parking facilities shall sign a shared parking agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney and the City Engineer, which shall be recorded with the Iron County Recorder's office. The agreement shall continue to be valid upon change of ownership of the property subject to the agreement or any lawfully existing building or structure on said properties.

   2. The increase in floor area does not exceed 25 percent (25%) of the existing gross floor area;
   3. The probable long-term occupancy of the structure, based on its design, will not generate additional parking demand; and
