- 1.Warehousing facilities for families and small businesses approved or established after the effective date of Ordinance No. 4081-07;
- 2.Furniture stores or showrooms.
If a portion or all of a structure or property is changed from a use in subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2) to a use requiring a greater number of off-street parking spaces, then additional parking shall be provided for the new use in accordance with this article.
- e.Expansion of existing structures. Any expansion, alteration, or improvement which increases the gross square footage or area of an existing structure shall be accompanied by any corresponding increase in the number of parking or loading spaces necessary for the expansion to conform to the requirements of this article.

- 3.Restrictive covenant. If the waiver is granted, a covenant that restricts the use of the property to serving persons who are 55 years or older, or persons who are disabled, for a period of not less than 15 years shall be executed and recorded in the public records of Palm Beach County. The restrictive covenant shall run with the land and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the developer and upon all owners, mortgagees, lessees and others having interest in the property. The city reserves the right to require a use restriction of more than 15 years based on the extent of the waiver granted.

- a.Restriction on use of parking and loading areas. The storage of merchandise, materials or motor vehicles, or the repair of motor vehicles or any other equipment is prohibited in all off-street and loading facilities.
- b.Location of parking and loading spaces. Required off-street parking and loading spaces for multiple family developments of three units or more (on one property), mixed-use projects and nonresidential structures shall be located on the same property on which the use or structure exists unless compliant with the following:
- 1.Required parking may be located off-street on property meeting the following requirements:
- a.Located within 300 feet of the subject property;
- b.Located in the same or less restrictive zoning district;
- c.Located in a district where such facilities are permitted;
- d.Permitted subject to approval of a special use permit;
- e.Parking shall be paved and marked in accordance with the appropriate city code requirements.
- 2.On-street parking directly and wholly abutting the subject property may be counted towards the parking requirement, provided that:
- a.Such spaces are clearly marked on the site plan and pavement in accordance with the appropriate city, county and state standards;
- b.Such spaces shall be publicly accessible and cannot be reserved or restricted by the owner or tenants of the property;
- c.On street parking on private streets may be counted towards required parking provided that the road is publicly accessible (not gated) and the streets, parking spaces and sidewalks are constructed consist with the standards for public streets in the city.
In the event the city, county or state removes the spaces at any time for a public purpose, the property shall be considered lawfully nonconforming with respect to parking.
- c.Ownership of parking and loading spaces. The title of all property on which required parking and loading is provided shall be unified with the title of all property on which the uses served are located. Deed restrictions and other documents which provide for title unification shall be recorded with the county clerk of the circuit court prior to consideration of a site plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, required parking for any structure or use may be located on property obtained on a lease, rental, or similar contractual basis when the city is a third part to such agreement. Contractual agreements of this nature must be approved by the city commission following action by the zoning board of appeals and prior to the issuance of any building permit or certificate of occupancy. If required parking is obtained in this manner, sufficient numbers of spaces shall be maintained at all times. If required parking is obtained on a contractual, non-unity of title basis, deed restrictions, or other documents which limit the use of property to the provision parking shall be recorded with the clerk of the circuit court, approved by the city attorney, and filed with the planning department prior to consideration of a site plan. Deed restrictions of this nature shall expire only after 25 years or upon the termination of the use requiring the provision of parking. Parking provided on a non-unity of title basis shall be a Class B special use and require approval by the zoning board of appeals. Required documents shall be recorded with the clerk of the circuit court prior to issuance of any building permit.
- d.Entrances and exits to parking and loading facilities. Entrances and exits to parking and loading spaces shall be located on one or the other:
- 1.Land in the same zoning district as the use served;
- 2.Land in a less restrictive zoning district.
For the purposes of this section, the zoning district listed first on the following list shall be considered the least restrictive than the one preceding it:
