(2) Zoning Classification: Off-site parking areas shall be considered
accessory uses of principal uses that the parking spaces are
intended to serve. Off-site parking areas shall require the
same or a more intensive zoning classification than that
required for the use served.
(3) Off-Site Parking Agreement: In the event that an off-site
parking area is not under the same ownership as the principal
use served, a written agreement among the owners of record
shall be required. An attested copy of the agreement between
the owners of record shall be submitted to the County Clerk's
Office for recordation on forms made available in the office of
the Administrator. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall
be presented to the Administrator prior to issuance of a
Building Permit. An off-site parking agreement may be revoked
by the parties to the agreement only if off-street parking is
provided on-site pursuant to Section 7.2, Off-Street Parking
Standards or if an Alternative Access and Parking Plan is
approved by the Administrator.
c. Bicycle Parking: The Administrator may authorize a reduction in the
number of required off-street parking spaces for developments or uses
that provide bicycle parking or that make special provisions to
accommodate bicyclists. Examples of accommodations include bicycle
lockers, employee shower facilities, and dressing areas for employees.
