(4)
The reserved parking spaces must be maintained in a manner that leaves them available for conversion to required parking spaces. No above-ground improvements shall be placed or constructed upon the reserve parking area.

8108-4.8.2 - Parking space reduction documentation.
The applicant shall provide documentation that describes the proposed parking reduction and identifies the parties responsible for implementing any parking measures associated with the proposed reduction. The documentation shall discuss the estimated parking demand for the land use, describe how parking demand will be met with the requested reduction, explain how the proposed measures will effectively decrease parking demand at the site, and include proposed performance targets for parking. Documentation shall demonstrate how adjusting the amount of parking provided will not impact neighboring or nearby land uses. Required documentation shall include information regarding specific parking reduction measures as described in Section 8108-4.8.1. Required documentation may also include existing parking counts, parking counts at similar land uses, and calculation of future parking demand based on industry standards.
a.
Monitoring Reports. Monitoring reports shall be submitted to the Director three (3) years after building occupancy and again six (6) years after building occupancy. Monitoring reports shall note the effectiveness of the proposed measures as compared to the initial performance targets, and provide suggestions for modifications if necessary to enhance parking and/or trip reductions. Where the monitoring reports indicate that performance measures are not met, the Director may require further program modifications or the provision of additional parking.
b.
Recordation. As a condition of approval of the parking reduction, the property owner, if different than the applicant, may be required to record agreements or restrictive covenants on the subject property prior to issuance of a land use permit to ensure that appropriate measures are implemented to justify the parking reduction.

a.
Parking Study. Applicant funds and provides a parking study demonstrating that the number of motor vehicle parking spaces required by Section 8108-4.7 is inadequate for the land use. Parking studies shall be prepared by a person/firm qualified to prepare such studies as determined by the Director.
b.
Other Options Explored. The project applicant provides documentation to the Director demonstrating that the applicant has fully explored all other options for meeting parking demand without increasing the number of parking spaces, including utilizing shared parking, remote parking, and demand reduction measures.

8108-5.14 - Landscaping and screening.[7] Footnotes: --- (7) ---
Editor's note— Ord. No. 4577 § 4, adopted March 9, 2021, amended Section 8108-5.14 in its entirety, repealing § 8108-5.14.3 pertaining to landscape plans and renumbering 8108-5.14.4—8108-5.14.9 as 8108-5.14.3—8108-5.14.8, as herein set out. Historical notation has been retained for reference purposes.
8108-5.14.1 - Purpose.
These landscaping and screening requirements are intended to:
• Reduce potential negative effects of parking areas on adjacent land uses.
• Provide visual relief from pavement and motor vehicles.
• Soften and screen parking area edges.
• Provide a visual barrier between vehicle headlights and street traffic.
• Mitigate atmospheric heating from pavement through shading.
• Create pleasant pedestrian conditions.
• Provide retention, filtration and/or infiltration of stormwater.
• Channel and define logical areas for pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
(Ord. No. 4407, § 1, 10-20-2009; Ord. No. 4577 § 4, 3-9-2021)
8108-5.14.2 - Applicability.
a.
Unless otherwise noted herein, all parking areas shall comply with the landscaping and screening requirements of this Section and Sections 8106-8.2.1, 8106-8.2.2, 8106-8.2.3, and 8106-8.2.8. Section 8106-8.2.7 shall apply to any parking areas containing manufactured slopes. Underground parking is exempt from these requirements.
b.
Planning Director Waivers/Modifications. The Planning Director or designee may grant modifications and waivers to landscaping requirements where existing structures or irregularly configured lots preclude implementation of the requirements, or where compliance would result in the loss of existing required parking spaces due to site size restrictions. The Planning Director or designee shall seek a compromise between reducing the amount of required parking and reducing the amount of required landscaping. Wherever possible, at least some landscaping shall be required. Water use efficiency must be incorporated into all landscape designs. Any modification or waiver shall meet or exceed the requirements of the MWELO, when it is applicable to the project (see Section 8106-8.2.1(b)). In granting modifications, the Planning Director or designee shall prioritize the provision of landscaping as follows: (1) First priority—the provision of landscape screening adjacent to streets and (2) Second priority—the provision of shade trees.
The Planning Director or designee may allow the following modifications where there are space constraints or other unique circumstances associated with the site:
(1)
Perimeter Landscaping and Screening, Adjacent to Streets. The Director may allow the use of smaller perimeter planters or waive these requirements, except there shall be no waiver of these requirements for any project that is located across the street from residential zones or land uses.
(2)
Interior Landscaping. If the applicant can demonstrate that compliance with interior landscaping requirements would result in the loss of existing required parking spaces, the Director may modify the interior landscaping requirement. Whenever feasible, the Director shall require a minimum of some interior landscaping with priority given to planting shade trees. The Director may also approve acceptable substitutions for interior landscaping, such as:
i.
Use of a light-colored/high-albedo (minimum of 0.3) paving surface or use of a pervious paving surface pursuant to Section 8108-
