Provided, however, that if more than fifty percent (50%) of the required parking spaces are greater than one-eighth of a mile from the principal building measured along lines of public access from the nearest boundary of the parking area to the building’s entrance, the location and plan of operation of said parking area shall be approved by the City Council after due hearing; and provided further, that a copy of such approval, together with any conditions or limitations attached thereto, shall be recorded with the County Register of Deeds and shall be a covenant running with the land as long as the uses of the premises require the parking. For the purposes of this section, lots separated only by an alley, easement or street shall be considered as adjoining lots.

(3) Nonresidential. Required parking spaces for property other than that used for residential purposes and that which is located in the C-4 Central Business District shall be located on the same lot as the principal building or on an adjoining lot, except that if insufficient space exists on the same or adjoining lot, all or any part of the required parking spaces may be located in any area permitting parking, within 300 feet of the principal building measured along lines of public access from the nearest boundary of the parking area to the principal building entrance without crossing an arterial street; provided that the location and plan of operation of said parking area shall be approved by the City Council after due hearing; and provided further, that a copy of such approval, together with any conditions or limitations attached thereto, shall be recorded with the County Register of Deeds, and shall be a covenant running with the land as long as the uses of the premises require the parking. For the purpose of this section, lots separated only by an alley, easement or street shall be considered as adjoining lots.

(F) Considered part of site of principal building. Land designated as the required parking area shall be considered as a part of the site of the principal building and the certificate of occupancy for any such principal building shall be valid only during such time as the required number of parking spaces are provided in accordance with this section, and where the parking spaces are on adjoining or lots other than the one upon which the principal use is located, the certificate of occupancy shall so state and shall be recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds of the county.

(G) Joint use. Joint use of required parking space by nonconflicting uses is to be encouraged and shall be permitted; provided that the maximum parking demands of joint uses occur at nonoverlapping times. Joint use parking facilities may carry a zoning designation of either principal use.
