(a) Where the calculation of required spaces results in a fractional number, the required
number of spaces shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
(b) If more than one use is located on a lot, or if the parking area collectively serves more
than one building or use, the total number of spaces shall be the sum of the
requirement for the various classes of uses calculated separately, and the parking
space required for one use shall not be included in calculations for any other use.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection 41.6(b), if the owner or occupier of the land, building or
use for which off street parking spaces are required provides to the District's
satisfaction a parking study completed by a Professional Engineer and based on Table
2 demonstrating that peak parking demand of the classes of use occurs at different
periods of time, a reduced amount of off-street parking may be calculated according
to Table 3. (Bylaw 2824, 2021)
(d) Table 2 shall be used in determining the distribution of peak parking demand by time
of day and day of week for different classes of use. The percentages in Table 2 are
applied to the off-street parking requirements of Table 3 in subsection 41.8 for each
class of use with the highest total obtained from all occupancy periods being the total
of shared off-street parking spaces required.
(e) If the District approves an arrangement for shared parking in accordance with
subsection 41.7(c):
572
(i)
a restrictive covenant shall be registered against the lot on which the
use benefiting from the shared parking arrangement is or will be
located, prior to the commencement of that use, limiting the use of
that lot to the class of use whose peak parking demand was
considered in the parking study referred to in that subsection, and to
other classes of use having the same or a lesser peak parking demand;
and
(ii)
no business license or occupancy permit shall be issued to authorize a
use of the lot unless the use is within the class of use whose peak
parking demand was considered in the parking study, or another class
of use having the same or a lesser peak parking demand, and the
District may require the applicant for the license or permit to provide
a parking study as described in subsection (c) demonstrating that the
proposed class of use has the same or a lesser peak parking demand.
(f) Shared off-street parking spaces shall not be reserved for any owner, employee,
customer or visitor of the uses involved in the shared arrangements.
