A. The Community Development Director may reduce bike parking facilities for patrons when it is demonstrated that bicycle activity is unlikely to occur at that location, provided bike rack parking is not completely eliminated.

B. An applicant may request a modification of the minimum required number of parking spaces by proving that parking demand can be met with reduced parking. In such cases, the Community Development Director may approve a reduction of up to fifty percent (50%) of the minimum required number of spaces.

C. Overflow Parking. Overflow parking areas and event-parking areas may use turf or other pervious surfaces. “Overflow parking” shall be defined as off-street parking in excess of the minimum required by this chapter, not used more than fifteen (15) times a year. All parking areas for which paving is waived shall meet the minimum requirements of the State Building Code and accessibility for fire prevention. All parking areas shall be constructed with proper drainage.

D. When an existing building is occupied by a new use which would require greater parking and/or loading space than is provided, the Community Development Director may waive the additional parking requirement provided he finds existing development renders compliance with the requirement impractical.
