§ 9162.24. Off-Street Parking - Automobile Parking Spaces Required for Mixed Uses. — Carson Zoning Code

A. When two (2) or more different uses exist on the same lot or within the same building, the total number of parking spaces required shall equal the sum of the requirements for each use including fractional amounts. Except as provided herein, no parking space required for one use shall be considered as providing the required parking for any other use.
B. When two (2) or more uses share a parking facility, and when demonstrated by a signed affidavit that the hours of their demand do not substantially overlap, then the parking

requirement may be reduced by the Planning Commission through the approval of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to CMC § 9172.21 , and subject to the following additional requirements:

The applicant shall show evidence that there is no substantial conflict or overlap in the principal operating hours of the buildings or uses for which the shared parking facilities are proposed.
Any reduction in parking shall not decrease the total number of parking spaces below the level necessary to meet the collective peak parking demand for all participating uses.
Parking facilities may be located on a different lot from the lot on which the use to be served is located provided the distance from the lot on which the use is located and the lot used for the required parking is not greater than four hundred (400) feet. Said distance shall be measured along public walkways from the nearest lot line of the lot on which the uses are located to the nearest lot line of the lot on which the required parking is located. Property owners involved in the joint use of offstreet parking facilities shall submit an agreement for such joint use by a proper legal instrument approved by the Director as to form and content. Such instrument shall be submitted with the Conditional Use Permit application. Such instrument, when approved as conforming to the provisions of this Section, shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder within thirty (30) days of Commission approval, and copies of said recorded documents filed with the Community Development Department.
The Commission shall make a finding that there is adequate parking available for all affected lots, parcels and uses located thereon.

C. Office space incidental to a manufacturing, warehouse or other industrial use shall have its required parking spaces computed at the same ratio as the industrial use, provided the office space does not exceed ten (10) percent of the total gross floor area. Office space in excess of ten (10) percent of the total gross floor area shall have its required parking spaces computed at the same ratio specified for office space.
