(1)

As specified by the following table:

⁽¹⁾ The property owner shall provide adequate assurances that building or tenant space shall be used solely for warehouse or storage use, or where merchandise, products or materials are stored until later disposed of or distributed; such assurance shall be in the form of a declaration of restrictive covenants or a similar recordable document. The covenant shall provide that the city shall be entitled to collect any and all costs and attorney fees if the city must take action that is necessary to enforce them. Upon approval by the engineering and community development director and the city attorney, the covenant shall be recorded on the property in the Public Records of Broward County by the property owner, and a certified copy of the recorded document shall be provided to the city.

⁽²⁾ An applicant to establish a community residence or recovery community may apply to the development review committee to be granted a reasonable accommodation to reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces when fewer spaces are actually needed. The applicant shall prove by a preponderance of evidence that it needs to provide a different number of parking spaces or a different location for parking spaces than is required.

(D)

Computation of required parking spaces.

(1)

Fractional measurements: When units or measurements determining the number of required off-street parking spaces result in requirements of a fractional space, any such fraction shall only require a full off-street parking space when the fraction is equal to or greater than exactly fifty (50) percent, unless otherwise provided for in this article.

(2)

Mixed uses: In the case of mixed uses, the total requirements for off-street parking shall be the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately, and off-street parking space for one (1) use shall not be considered as providing the required off-street parking for any other use.

(3)

Measurement: For the purposes of this article, floor area shall mean the gross floor area. In hospitals, bassinets shall not count as beds.

(a)

For the purpose of calculating parking spaces, gross floor area shall not include: covered or enclosed parking areas; exterior unenclosed private balconies; floor space used for mechanical equipment for the building; and elevator shafts and stairwells at each floor.

(b)

Customer service area shall include any outdoor or patio floor area used or designed for food or beverage service or consumption, or both, measured as specified above. Areas between tables or bars which overlap in measurement with another table shall only be counted once.

(c)

Outdoor casual seating without service. Businesses, institutions, or uses that serve food or beverages solely inside and do not provide service outside may have outdoor casual seating, such as benches or tables and chairs, without providing any additional parking as required for customer service areas if all accessibility standards are met.

(d)

Outdoor seating de minimus standard. Businesses, institutions, or uses that serve food or beverages may be approved to serve food for outdoor seating by a maximum of two (2) tables (with up to eight (8) seats total) in an area no more than one hundred (100) square feet without providing any additional parking as required for customer service areas if all accessibility standards are met.

(4)

Retail shopping center: For the purposes of this article, in the event a more intense use, such as but not limited to a restaurant, Places of Worship, Places of Public Assembly or movie theater is proposed to occupy more than thirty-three (33) percent of the total gross floor area of the shopping center:

(a)

The parking requirement shall be calculated based on a total of the minimum number of spaces required for such individual use together with the requirement for shopping centers for the remaining area of the center; or

(b)

City commission approval of a cross parking agreement shall be required in accordance with (B) of this section above.

(E)

Combined off-street parking. Nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent collective provision for, or joint use of, off-street parking facilities for two (2) or more buildings or uses by two (2) or more owners or operators, provided that the total of such parking spaces, when combined or used together shall not be less than the sum of the requirements of the several individual uses computed in accordance with this article.

(F)

Nonconforming uses. In the case of a building occupied by a use which is not permitted as a new use in the district in which such building is located, alterations which exceed fifty (50) percent of the current market value shall not be permitted until the off-street parking requirements of this article for a new use of this type are fully provided. Also, see section 24-207.

(G)

Use of required off-street parking by another building and nonconcurrent parking agreements.

(1)

No part of an off-street parking area required for any building or use by this article shall be included as a part of an off-street parking area similarly required for another building or use unless the type of use indicates that the periods of usage will not overlap or be concurrent with each other.

(2)

Where two (2) adjoining buildings or uses apply with a plan for parking which otherwise satisfies the requirements of this article, they may be permitted to use the same space as long as the type of use indicates that the usage will not overlap or be concurrent. Included with the application shall be a use agreement or lease between the two (2) parties in recordable form which the city shall record at the expense of the applicants.

(H)

Backout parking. Backout parking facilities are permitted in R-1 and R-2 Zoning Districts and RM-16 and RM-25 Zoning Districts where utilized for single-family and duplex structures; and in R-16, R-25, NB, B-1, B-2, and I-1 Zoning Districts where more than sixty-five (65) percent of the lineal footage of the block length consists of businesses or multiple dwellings existing with backout parking facilities.
