   1. Fractions. Where units of measurements determining the number of required parking or loading spaces result in a fraction, the fraction shall be counted as one (1) additional parking space (rounded up to the nearest whole number).
   2. Uses.
      1. Parking shall be calculated separately for each use in a building, structure or on a lot, except that the Director or designee may determine that a lower standard would be adequate for shared parking, as described in Section 19.48.070.
      2. Accessory uses shall be calculated separately.
      3. Unlisted Requirements. The Director or designee shall make a determination as to the proper classification of a parking requirement not listed for a particular use based on the requirement of the closest comparable use. Where a comparison cannot reasonably be made, the Director may require a parking demand study to determine the amount of parking needed on the site.
   3. Bicycle Parking. Bicycle parking shall be as required in Section 19.48.080. Bicycle parking may not occupy any vehicle parking space required by this Chapter.
   4. On-Street and Public Parking. The use of on-street parking and publicly-owned parking lots or structures may count toward a portion of the minimum off-street parking requirements provided the following conditions are met:
      1. Adequate on-street parking or public lots or structures exist with five-hundred feet (500’) of the primary entrance of the main building associated with the use as measured along existing sidewalk or along walkways shown on the site plan;
      2. No more than fifty percent (50%) of the off-street parking space requirement is met through the use of on-street, public parking lot, or public parking structure spaces; and
      3. The demand for parking generated by the use may not substantially adversely impact available parking for surrounding uses and many not adversely affect traffic circulation patterns.
2. Exceptions for the Reuse of Existing Buildings and Structures. The Director or designee may grant a waiver of these requirements for development which reuses an existing building if the applicant can demonstrate that the existing parking on the site accommodates anticipated parking demand.

1. Off-street parking requirements may be reduced by the Director or designee upon a finding by the Director or designee that the applicant meets the requirements for at least one (1) of the allowable reductions of this Section. In no case may the total required off-street parking for a site be reduced more than fifty percent (50%).
   1. Transit Exists to Serve the Site.
      1. When considering a parking reduction for transit availability, the Director or designee may require the applicant to submit a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Study demonstrating the number residents, customers, or employees that already use or would be expected to use transit instead of parking.
   2. Reductions for Bicycle Facilities.
      1. Vehicle parking requirements may be reduced by one (1) space for every four (4) covered, secured bicycle parking spaces provided beyond the amount of bicycle parking required in Section 19.48.080. To qualify for this reduction, a work stand and floor pump is required to be provided on-site. These amenities shall be maintained in working condition and made accessible to cyclists using the parking spaces.
      2. Off-street parking requirements may also be reduced by four (4) spaces if free showers and locker facilities are available for use within a building or structure on-site.
      3. The Director or designee may not approve a reduction under this Subsection that is more than ten percent (10%) of the total required off-street parking for a site.
2. In reviewing a parking reduction, or making a determination for specialty uses, the Director or designee may consider the following as applicable:
   1. The land use and development character of the area to be served by the parking facility, including intensity of uses requiring parking, the availability of transit, proximity to nearby employment centers and residential neighborhoods, and other relevant factors;
   2. The availability of any other publicly available parking in the area, including the number of spaces, applicable restrictions, or other uses counting spaces in the same parking area toward the applicable parking requirement;
   3. The timing of parking use relative to other uses in the area, including information on hours of operation;
   4. Applicable guidelines from the American Planning Association, Envision Utah, and/or the Urban Land Institute;
   5. Whether the applicant has made all efforts to comply with Table 19.48.150 to the extent practicable considering parking lot design, layout efficiency, and any unique constraints of the site; and
   6. Whether supporting documentation provided by the applicant adequately demonstrates that sufficient parking is available to meet projected typical demand.

1. Where a mix of land uses creates staggered peak periods of parking demand, shared parking agreements that have the effect of reducing the total number of required parking spaces are encouraged. Shared parking agreements for off-street parking for two (2) or more buildings or uses is permitted subject to the following:
   1. Shared parking areas shall be located within three hundred feet (300’) of the use as measured along walkways designated on the site plan or already existing;
   2. Adjacent lots shall be connected by drive aisles; and
   3. Shared parking leases or agreements shall have a term of not less than five (5) years, including any renewals at the option of the lessee.
2. A proposal for the sharing of off-street parking shall be submitted to the Director or designee for site plan review and approval. Conditional use applications which require Planning Commission approval, and for which shared parking is being proposed as part of the application, must have Planning Commission approval for the shared parking.
3. Shared Parking Calculation. In determining the total requirements for shared parking facilities, the Director, designee, or Planning Commission shall use Tables 19.48.150 and 19.48.070 according to the following calculation steps:
   1. For each applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required for the use as if it were the only use (using Table 19.48.150).
   2. Use the figures for each individual land use to calculate the number of spaces required for that use for each time period specified in Table 19.48.070 (six (6) time periods per use).
   3. For each time period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a grand total for each of the six (6) time periods.
   4. Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that as the total number of parking spaces required for the site on a shared parking basis.
4. If any uses are not listed in Table 19.48.070, the Director or designee shall determine the required parking for the six (6) time periods.
