§ 12.10. Off-site parking facilities.

Required parking for a development may be located off-site under certain circumstances. Requests for off-site parking must meet the following requirements:

1.

Residential uses. Parking facilities accessory to dwelling units shall be located on the same zoning lot as the use served. Spaces accessory to uses other than dwellings (such as churches) may be located on a lot adjacent to or directly across a street or alley from the lot occupied by the use served; but in no case at a distance in excess of 300 feet from such zoning lot.

2.

Nonresidential uses. Parking facilities accessory to nonresidential uses may be located on other than the same zoning lot as the use served (off-site). All required parking spaces shall be within 500 feet of such zoning lot. No parking spaces accessory to a use in a business or industrial district shall be located in a residential district, unless authorized by the planning commission.

3.

Agreement required. A written agreement shall be drawn to the satisfaction of the city attorney and executed by all parties concerned assuring the continued availability of the off-site parking facilities for the use they are intended to serve.
