Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance updates various sections of the Toledo Municipal Code (“TMC”) as a result of a study on the elimination of off-street parking requirements. This change does not eliminate the need or allowance for new off-street parking but removes the minimum number of off-street parking required by Zoning Code. The change will allow individual developments to propose appropriate amounts of off-street parking necessary for their specific project. The specific changes proposed to each section are shown in Exhibit A. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the Forward Toledo Comprehensive Land Use Plan and stated purpose of the Zoning Code.

SECTION 42. That a new Toledo Municipal Code, §1107.1402 is enacted to state as follows:
§1107.1402 Applicability.
Applicants who wish to provide a greater number of off-street parking spaces than allowed in the off-street parking schedules of this Chapter (Secs. 1107.0201(B), 1107.0300, 1107.0400 or 1107.0500) must secure approval of an Alternative Access and Parking Plan, in accordance with the standards of this Section.
SECTION 43. That Toledo Municipal Code, §1107.1407 which states as follows:
§1107.1407 Eligible Alternatives.
A. General. The Planning Director is authorized to approve off-street parking spaces in excess of allowed maximums or any of the parking reductions and access alternatives in this subsection if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that the proposed plan:
1. Will not adversely affect surrounding neighborhoods;
2. Will not adversely affect traffic congestion and circulation; and
3. Will have a positive effect on the economic viability or appearance of the project or on the environment.
B. Shared Parking. It is the City's stated intention to encourage efficient use of land and resources by allowing users to share off-street parking facilities whenever feasible. The Planning Director may authorize a reduction in the number of required off-street parking spaces for multiple use developments or for uses that are located near one another and that have different peak parking demands or different operating hours. Shared parking arrangements are subject to the following standards.
1. Location. Shared off-street parking spaces may be located no further than 1,320 feet from the buildings and uses they are intended to serve, measured along the shortest legal, practical walking route. The Planning Director may waive this distance limitation if adequate assurances are offered that adequate van or shuttle service will be operated between the shared lot and the principal use. If the shared parking spaces are located off-site, they must comply with the off-site provisions of Section 1107.1407C.
2. Zoning Classification. Shared parking areas are accessory to the principal uses that the parking spaces serve. Shared parking areas require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses served by the shared parking area, unless approved as a Special Use pursuant to Section 1111.0700.
3. Required Study and Analysis. The applicant must submit a shared parking analysis to the Planning Director that clearly demonstrates the feasibility of shared parking. The study must address, at a minimum, the size and type of the proposed development, the composition of tenants, the anticipated rate of parking turnover and the anticipated peak parking and traffic loads for all uses that will be sharing off-street parking spaces.
