1. Intent and Purpose. The intent and purpose of this section is to recognize the synergy among different uses within a mixed use development such that peak times for parking for one use occurs at a different time from another use. Also, because mixed uses gives the opportunity for persons being able to live and work within the same building, parking requirements are reduced. It is further recognized that the reduction of excessive parking spaces can positively affect the aesthetics of the building design that meets the spirit and intent of Section 5-102, “Design Review Standards” of the Zoning Code.
2. Reductions from the minimum required parking spaces from the Zoning Code may be approved as part of a Mixed Use (MX ) site plan or Planned Area Development (PAD) that meets the standards of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria specified by the U.S. Green Building Council, or similar rating agency. Reductions shall be calculated using an accredited system for calculating shared parking. Such reduction shall exclude any and all proposed and anticipated parking spaces reserved exclusively for a specific use such as office, residential, retail, etc. Dedicated valet parking spaces, however, may be part of the shared parking reduction. A restrictive covenant shall be required stating that the amount of parking required as a result of the shared parking reduction shall not be reserved exclusively for a specific use.
   
   The number of required spaces may be reduced by any one (1) or more of the following methods, as may be required by the City:
   1. Urban Land Institute (ULI) Shared Parking Methodology using the City’s parking code requirements. A ULI Shared Parking Methodology and the assumptions in the calculation must be approved by the City.
   2. Shared parking matrix. The shared parking matrix provides the method for calculating shared parking for mixed use buildings and planned area developments.
      1. Methodology. MX or PAD projects containing two (2) or more uses shall multiply the amount of required parking for each individual use, as provided within Section 10-109, by the appropriate percentage listed in the table below for each of the designated time periods. Calculate the resulting sum for each of the six (6) vertical columns within the table below. The minimum parking requirement shall be the highest sum resulting from the calculations.

3. Applicants may provide a parking study completed by a licensed professional engineer, engineering firm or similar, justifying the proposed parking solution as provided below.
   1. Parking study. A study must be prepared using a professionally appropriate methodology that is approved by the City, detailing land uses in accordance with Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) parking generation categories. At a minimum, the methodology must incorporate all of the following considerations, as well as any other data or analyses that the City deems appropriate for the requested reduction:
      1. Parking characteristics of similar projects and uses. The study must evaluate factors such as the uses, hours of operation, peak parking demands, location, amount and type of off-street parking that is proposed, the proposed impact on nearby on-street parking, and occupancy rates of similar uses and projects in comparison to those of the proposed uses and project.
      2. Operational assessment. The study must demonstrate how the project will optimize the parking operations and traffic conditions within a quarter (1/4) mile of the project boundaries, and propose and agree to provide appropriate mechanisms to protect the surrounding neighborhood, including appropriate signage and the locations of all ingress and egress points.
      3. Transit. The study must analyze the impact of nearby transit services on parking demand for the project, and must also analyze the projected use of other alternative modes of travel such as bicycle and pedestrian. The study must reference and the project must propose to contribute to the enhancement of nearby transit services through expanding routes and lengthening hours of service.
      4. Valet plan. If valet services are proposed, the study must reference and the project must propose to provide adequately staffed valet services during the hours of operation of all uses, including an appropriate time following closing to accommodate the departure of valet parked cars. Projects shall submit an operational plan for the valet service, specifying details, including maximum wait times, distance from valet drop-off points to valet parking areas, operational modifications to the functioning of any required parking areas such as stacking, and the number of operators at peak and non-peak hours.

1. Tandem spaces. Tandem spaces are permitted as required parking, provided each set of tandem parking spaces are assigned to an individual unit within the building.
2. Automated, parking systems, structures and vertical parking lifts. Parking spaces in automated, parking systems, structures, and vertical parking may be utilized for required or supplemental parking spaces per this Article for residential and non-residential uses, provided that all of the following are satisfied:
   1. Systems may be self-service, valet-operated, or fully automated.
   2. Vertical parking lift systems shall be limited to two-levels/decks and each lift shall be controlled exclusively by one (1) tenant/unit.
   3. The use of automated mechanical parking systems, structures and vertical parking lifts parking does not increase the building bulk and mass, in that the building and mechanical access parking structure or parking lift(s) is no greater in volume than the largest building and parking structure that could be constructed on the parcel proposed for development in strict compliance with the underlying zoning district regulations, with the same number of parking spaces configured exclusively as conventional structured parking.
   4. All systems shall have an average delivery rate of no more than five (5) minutes.
      
      The parking system shall be located entirely within the confines of the building and is not visible from outside any portion of the structure.
3. Implementation and monitoring of all vertical parking lifts as provided in Section 10-110 shall be enforced via a restrictive covenant subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney's Office prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy of the applicable structure(s). This covenant, running with the land shall hold the City harmless against any claims arising from accidents as a result of the use of mechanical parking lifts, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
