Need for a Variance
Section 24-161(f)(2) states, “Parking spaces for uses other than residential uses shall be provided on the same lot or not more than four hundred (400) feet away, provided that required
off-street parking shall in no case be separated from the use it serves by arterial streets or major collector streets, or other similar barriers to safe access between parking and
the use. A shared parking agreement shall be required where offsite parking is used to meet parking requirements. In such cases, the uses sharing parking must demonstrate different
peak-hour parking needs.”

Analysis and Concerns
Staff’s view of shared parking and their Shared Parking Policy.
Shared parking should be between multiple properties with different peak hours of parking demand.
Example: Offices and residential
Parking is utilized by all properties freely, knowing there is no conflict due to different times of demand.
The Town Center/sharing properties specify available parking times.
Properties should be in the City so that changes can be managed by staff.
The Town Center has agreed to notify the City when agreements use 90% or more of their parking.
Shared parking agreements should be permanent or require City approval for any changes.

Analysis and Concerns
Two of the proposed lots to be used are across Atlantic Blvd.
Code prohibits off-site parking from being located across arterial roads.
Shuttles and/or valet provides a safer option to crossing Atlantic Blvd
Another agreement with the neighboring office complex reduces the remaining required parking needed from the Town Center.
