§ 18.116.020 — Intent

The intent of this Chapter is to establish a process for conditionally allowing off-site parking as a means to satisfy on-site parking requirements for any use in nonresidential and mixed-use zones. Off-site parking facilitates parking consolidation, and thereby may decrease the amount of impervious surfaces, increase space available for landscaping, and optimize land use efficiency. By allowing the flexibility to provide required parking off-site, this Chapter enables more efficient use of existing parking spaces, in concert with enabling nonresidential and mixed-use land uses to meet required peak parking demands.
