The village commercial core area is a unique mixed-use area in the center of Allyn. It is the historic commercial center of the village and surrounding area. The village commercial and tourist commercial overlay districts were developed to recognize the unique historic, cadastral, physical and mixed-use aspects of the core area and to respond to the changing regional business climate. There are limited prime business frontage locations and an existing inefficient mix of paved, unpaved and informal parking spaces. The sub-area plan calls for a pedestrian oriented village core preserving the historic, cultural and social characteristics while promoting new investment based on local demand and the growing tourist opportunities.
To this end, along with zoning regulations for use and physical development, parking regulations specific to the village commercial zoning districts are necessary to achieve the goals of the sub-area plan while recognizing the limitations for development of vehicle parking, circulation and truck delivery. Regulations in this section provide for planned public parking along with opportunities provided by on-street parking, not currently available, and cooperative shared and leased parking arrangements.

In-Lieu Fee. The required number of on-site spaces for any use may be reduced on a one for one basis by payment of an in-lieu of fee as established by the board of commissioners for use in the development of public parking lots.
(2)
Dedication of Parking. The required number of on-site spaces for any use may be reduced on a one for one basis by development of and dedication to the county or Port of Allyn of a public parking lot, or expansion of an existing lot, within the village commercial district, constructed to county standards and in which a minimum of twenty spaces are provided.
(Ord. 63-07 Exh. A (part), 2007).

(5)
Transit Oriented Development. Transit oriented developments approved as a planned unit development or commercial uses approved under the provisions of a binding site plan may propose reduced parking requirements in lieu of provisions for alternate modes of transportation.

The village commercial core area is a unique mixed-use area in the center of Allyn. It is the historic commercial center of the village and surrounding area. The village commercial and tourist commercial overlay districts were developed to recognize the unique historic, cadastral, physical and mixed-use aspects of the core area and to respond to the changing regional business climate. There are limited prime business frontage locations and an existing inefficient mix of paved, unpaved and informal parking spaces. The sub-area plan calls for a pedestrian oriented village core preserving the historic, cultural and social characteristics while promoting new investment based on local demand and the growing tourist opportunities.
To this end, along with zoning regulations for use and physical development, parking regulations specific to the village commercial zoning districts are necessary to achieve the goals of the sub-area plan while recognizing the limitations for development of vehicle parking, circulation and truck delivery. Regulations in this section provide for planned public parking along with opportunities provided by on-street parking, not currently available, and cooperative shared and leased parking arrangements.

(4)
Parking Studies. An applicant may request a modification, to be allowed by the approval body, to the minimum number of parking or loading spaces required by providing a study by a qualified professional that substantiates that parking demand can be met with reduced requirements due to such factors as drive-by trip capture, hours of operation or alternative transportation availability for the customer base.
(5)
Transit Oriented Development. Transit oriented developments approved as a planned unit development or commercial uses approved under the provisions of a binding site plan may propose reduced parking requirements in lieu of provisions for alternate modes of transportation.
