3. 3.
   For multiple use buildings and/or sites which are not multi-tenant retail shopping centers, parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the parking requirements of each use.
4. 4.
   At the discretion of the Zoning Administrator, an administrative waiver of up to five (5) percent of minimum parking requirements can be approved in response to unique site or use specific characteristics.
5. 5.
   Within MU districts the City Council may waive required off-street parking spaces in favor of delineated on-street parking. On-street parking spaces may replace off-street parking spaces at a 1:1 ratio. Only spaces located immediately in front of the property may be counted.
6. 6.
   Shared Parking

   Two (2) or more uses may provide required off-street parking spaces in a common parking facility less than the sum of the spaces required for each use individually, provided such uses are not operated during the same hours. The following conditions must be met for any shared parking use:

   1. A.
      The proposed shared parking space is within 500 feet of the use(s) it will serve.
   2. B.
      The applicant will show that there is no substantial conflict in the principal operating hours of the two (2) uses or buildings for which shared use of off-street parking facilities is proposed.
   3. C.
      The applicant may provide a reduced number of parking spaces as determined by the shared parking factor graphic below. For example, a development including residential and office uses may require 15 spaces for the residential use and 25 spaces for the office use for a total of 40 spaces. Dividing 40 by the shared parking factor reduces the total required spaces to 29.

   4. D.
      A properly drawn legal instrument approved by the City Council, executed by the parties concerned, for shared use of off-street parking facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Said instrument may be a three (3) party agreement, including the City and all private parties involved. Such instrument shall first be approved by the City Attorney.

7. 7.
   Off-street parking shall be on the same lot as the principal use except when an off-lot parking has been approved by the City Council. In cases where off-street parking facilities are permitted on land other than the same lot as the principal use, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the lot occupied by the use to which the parking facilities are necessary or a written agreement/easement between property owners is recorded with Polk County.
8. 8.
   Change of Use.

   1. A.
      Any lot with a change of use upon its premise shall provide an adequate number of parking spaces required by the new use in accordance with the standards set forth within this Chapter.
   2. B.
      For buildings which are designed to accommodate a use permitted in the zoning district which can create a greater demand for parking than the initial use of the property, additional parking spaces may be required by the Zoning Administrator to accommodate additional parking if a change of use occurs.
9. 9.
   Uses Not Listed Herein.

   1. A.
      When the parking requirement of a building or use is not specifically mentioned herein, the parking space requirements for a use which is listed in Table 180.1 and to which said use is similar, shall apply as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
   2. B.
      If no similar use is listed, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the parking space requirements based upon other available references or qualified sources of information to adequately determine parking demand.
