Parking and Stacking Study. A reduction in the number of required parking and/or stacking spaces may be requested at time of the Site Plan submittal by the applicant or based on local experience, the Planning Director may determine that the parking and/or stacking requirements are insufficient in this chapter, an additional study may be required. A reduction or increase in stacking and or parking requirements may be approved by the Planning Director or their designee pursuant to the following criteria: 1. The parking study shall be commissioned by the City and paid for by the applicant. 2. The parking study demonstrates that the parking demand for the site is less than the requirement found in Table 19.80.1 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements or general patronage of the use exceeds the minimum requirements in the table 3. The parking and/or stacking study demonstrates that the proposed alternative will not exacerbate an existing deficiency in parking or stacking; 4. The parking study demonstrates that the proposed alternative will not result in parking spillover into adjacent neighborhoods or streets. 5. Any proposed stacking spaces are sufficient for the use and will not result in blockage of rights-of way, internal parking, or circulations spaces. 6. When a parking study includes examples of the parking ratios of existing multifamily developments, these examples shall closely match the proposed project in terms of transit infrastructure and targeted resident demographics, including, but not limited to age, income levels and rental rates. For multi- family projects demand shall be based on the number bedrooms. 7. Evidence of similar uses in similar contexts or other industry standard indicating a lesser number will equally or better meet the intent of this Chapter due any of the following: i. The likelihood that patrons or tenants have reduced car ownership or drive less; ii. The availability and practicality of walking, bicycling or transit access supporting the use; or iii. Other transportation demand management plans proposed by the applicant. ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek Together Code Update I Chapter 19.80 Parking and Mobility Standards v3 12 B. Transit Proximity Reduction. 1. The minimum number of required parking spaces may be reduced up to twenty percent (20%) for commercial and institutional sites that are located within one quarter of a mile walking distance to a transit platform. 2. The applicant must demonstrate that units are allocated as permanent affordable housing, either through deed restriction, covenant, or other means of legal documentation deemed acceptable by the City Attorney. C. Valet Parking Program. A valet parking program is a parking plan which has personnel retained to assist parking at a drop-off area and exclusively controls the parking of vehicles into valet spaces until they are returned to a pick-up area. A valet parking program may reduce the required parking of a use up to ninety (90) percent of the required parking minimum if the valet program meets the following requirements: 1. A valet parking plan is provided providing the following: a. A document detailing the location of valet parking lots, pick up and drop off areas, stacking spaces, and egress/ingress information. b. A document detailing the hours of operation, staffing required, a minimum lease time period of 5 years, and any other applicable operational procedure information. 2. A parking study per the requirements of this chapter showing that the proposed valet program provides sufficient parking for the use at peak times. 3. A minimum of 8% of the required parking are reserved for self-parking. 4. Valet parking lots, when located on a major street with a minimum width of sixty-six (66) feet, are required to be located on the same side of the street as the use they are serving. Valet parking lots may be provided on the opposite side of the use being served, of a minor street, a street with a width less than sixty-six (66) feet. D. Shared Parking. Shared use of required nonresidential parking spaces may occur where two or more uses on the same or separate sites are able to share the same parking spaces because their parking demands occur at different times. Shared use of required nonresidential parking spaces is allowed if following documentation is submitted in writing with the site plan application: 1. Names and addresses of the property owners that are engaging in a shared parking agreement. 2. A parking study per the requirement of this chapter demonstrating the shared spaces are sufficient for each use at peak times. The parking study must include a breakdown of uses, comparing the peak times of weekday night, day, evening, and weekend day and evening hours per Table 19.80.1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek Together Code Update I Chapter 19.80 Parking and Mobility Standards v3 13 3. A map of shared parking areas along with number of parking spaces to be shared. 4. A legal instrument such as an easement or deed restriction that guarantees access to the parking for both uses. 5. In determining the total requirements for shared parking facilities, the Planning Director or designee or Planning Commission shall use Table 19.80.1 according to the following guidelines: 6. For each applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required for a use as if it were the only use (refer to the schedule of minimum off-street parking requirements). 7. Use the figures for each individual land use to calculate the number of spaces required for that use for each time period specified in the table (six time periods per use). 8. For each time period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a grand total for each of the six time periods. 9. Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that as the total number of parking spaces required for the site on a shared parking basis. For uses not listed in Table 19.80.1, or in otherwise unique circumstances the Planning Director or their designee shall determine the required parking for the six time periods. These determinations shall be made in accordance to by National Parking Association, International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute (ULI), Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) or other reputable sources of parking data.

Community Parking Credits. 1. If community parking be available either on a public street, public property or on property provided by deed, lease, or easement by a public entity or private landowner for community parking, which parking is within 300 feet as measured from the closest property lines of a particular land use, credits may be given toward the parking requirement for said land use. 2. In cases where multiple businesses or land uses qualify to use the same parking spaces for community parking credits, the credits shall be pro-rated for each land use. In calculating the pro-rated community parking credits, the Planning Director or designee shall consider such factors as: a. The amount of frontage a property has on the street; b. The total number of parking stalls required for a given land use; and c. The potential for future development in the immediate vicinity creating further demand for parking spaces. The Planning Director or designee may also use Table 19.80.1 Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements for land uses in different general categories to consider shared community parking. 3. If community parking is provided by deed, lease, or easement, the deed, lease, or easement shall require the owner and/or heirs, successors or assigns to maintain the required number of parking spaces for a minimum duration of at least five years. After five years such agreements shall be renewed with the City. The city shall be notified when a lease or easement is terminated. If for any reason the lease or easement is terminated during the five year minimum contractual period, the lessee shall either replace the parking being lost through the terminated lease or easement or obtain approval for alternative parking requirements as found in this chapter. A business license may be suspended until such time that a new lease is secured for off‐site parking. 4. Following approval of a building permit or conditional use permit, the lease or easement shall be recorded, making reference to and appearing on the record of title to both the primary use property and the property to be used for off‐site parking. Off‐site parking areas shall include, at a minimum, one pedestrian connection to the primary use. Such connections shall be approved by the city for use of off‐site parking areas. A pedestrian connection shall be installed prior to use of an off‐site parking area if one does not exist. F. Street Parking Credits. When a striped public parking spaces are present along the street frontage of a site, those spaces may contribute to the minimum parking requirement per the following criteria: ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek Together Code Update I Chapter 19.80 Parking and Mobility Standards v3 16 1. Striped on-street parking spaces must be directly along the frontage of a given site. Parking spaces on the opposite side of the street may not contribute to the required parking. 2. Striped on street spaces may contribute up to fifty percent (50%) of the parking minimum requirement. In the case that street parking is constructed as an improvement in conjunction with an approved site plan, the striped on street spaces may contribute up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the parking minimum requirement. G. Enhancements Reduction. For sites providing enhancements, a reduction of up to fifteen percent (15%) may be granted by the Planning Director or their designee at the time of site planning if the site provides one or more of the following: 1. Permeable pavement is used for a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the site’s paved areas. 2. A paved plaza between the primary structure and the right of way that is a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the site square footage. The plaza must provide seating and shade trees. 3.
