Parking spaces and/or parking space credits shall remain the sole possession of the property for which they were initially provided. Parking space credits shall not be transferable from one business location to another business location.

(6)

Single-family residential structures and vacant parcels shall be given credit for two spaces and multifamily structures shall be given credit for 1.5 spaces per unit.

(c)

Determination for unlisted uses or alternative parking. If the proposed use is not listed or compatible with a use listed in the table of minimum parking space requirements, the planning director, who after consultation with the site review committee, shall make a determination of the appropriate parking for the proposed use. In reaching the determination, the director shall consider and be guided by the requirements for similar uses, the number and kind of vehicles likely to be attracted to the proposed use, parking requirements of such uses in other jurisdictions, special conditions or situations of the proposed use, or a combination of sources.

No permit shall be issued for such development or redevelopment unless such site plan complies with the provisions of this division, and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued until the landscaping is complete. It shall be unlawful to occupy the premises unless the landscaping is installed in accordance with the approved site plans and the requirements of this division.

(b)

All specifications for measurement, quantity and location of required landscaping shall be in accordance with chapter 115 unless otherwise prescribed in this section.

(d)

Exemptions.

(1)

Properties which have optioned to participate entirely in the stormwater abatement fee program and the off-street parking requirement fee program and have maximized impervious surface coverage to 100 percent of the site, are not required to provide on-site landscaping in conformance with this section and chapter 115. This exemption does not, however, abrogate compliance with any sanctioned comprehensive tree plan or streetscape plan pursuant to prescribed studies of the city tree board or the city beautification committee.

(2)

Properties which have partially optioned site development pursuant to the programs referenced in subsection (d)(1) of this section shall be required to submit a landscape plan for review and approval of the city site review committee.
