If the owner, whose parking facility is under such an agreement which requires the facility to be available to the patrons of the other use(s), fails or refuses to make such parking available in accordance with the agreement, such failure or refusal is a violation of this title.

(M) Authority To Make Adjustments: Adjustments to required parking may be authorized by the commission based upon evidence of actual parking demand for the proposed use. (N) Multiple Uses: Required parking facilities for two (2) or more uses, structures, or parcels of land may be satisfied by the same parking facilities used jointly, to the extent that the owners or operators show that the need for parking facilities does not materially overlap (e.g., uses primarily of a daytime versus nighttime nature; weekday uses versus weekend uses), and provided that the right of joint use is evidenced by a recorded deed, lease, contract, or similar written instrument establishing the joint use.

This ordinance reduces parking requirements imposed in the McCall City Code. The parking location requirement in the Central Business District zone is modified to permit parking to be located farther from the applicable business; parking space requirements that are computed according to square footage are rounded down to the next whole number; and the square footage component of the ratio used to calculate the required number of parking spaces for different uses has been increased which results in a lower parking space requirement for many commercial and community uses. This ordinance is effective immediately after its passage and publication as required by law. The full text of the Ordinance is available for review at City Hall and will be provided by the City Clerk to any citizen upon personal request, or can be viewed on the City website at www.mccall.id.us.
