§ 82-32.008. Off-street parking reductions.

(a)

A project may qualify for reductions in off-street parking requirements pursuant to this section. A sponsor requesting parking reductions shall submit a conceptual TDM program to the community development department concurrently with the application for the project. If the tenant is known, the project sponsor and tenant shall jointly submit the conceptual TDM program.

(b)

Conceptual TDM Program. The conceptual TDM program shall identify TDM measures that can be demonstrated to attain the trip reductions necessary to qualify for the requested parking reductions. The department shall review the project's conceptual TDM program and make a recommendation to the division of the planning agency hearing the project application.

(c)

The sponsor shall include in the tentative map, land use permit, or development plan application, any improvements that will provide access to public transit, ridesharing opportunities and nonmotorized forms of travel.

(d)

If the project lies within a transit service area identified in the circulation element of the general plan, the sponsor shall consult with the transit service provider on the need to provide infrastructure to connect the project with the transit services. Evidence of compliance with this requirement may include correspondence from the local transit provider(s) regarding the potential need for installing bus turnouts, shelters or bus stops at the site.

(e)

Final TDM Program. The design and implementation of the final TDM program shall be a condition of a project's approval. The sponsor and all subsequent owners of the project shall provide deed notification of mandatory participation in the final TDM program to all subsequent purchasers and owners of the project.
