Due to the uniqueness of this zone and the uses allowed in this chapter, reciprocal parking and off-site parking shall be permitted. Required off-street parking for proposed uses shall be allowed credit for on-street parking spaces to satisfy off-street parking requirements. Credit shall be given for on-street parking spaces located within the public right-of-way that are directly in front of or adjacent to the subject proposed use or parcel. When an on-street parking space is shared between two uses or parcels, a line perpendicular to the right-of-way at the point separating the uses or parcels will be projected to the curb. From this point the distance will be measured along the curb to each parking stripe. The use or parcel having the majority of this distance may count the space towards its required parking. Standards not included within this chapter shall be subject to review and approval through the conditional use permit process. The required parking for all uses within this zone shall be those as delineated within this zone and shall be exempt from Section 17.24.070 of this chapter. All other uses other than those described within this text shall be calculated from Section 17.124.070 of this chapter.
