Car Sharing Code Language Option – Revision 2 9.6410(3) Minimum Number of Required Off-Street Parking Spaces. (e) For Multiple-Family Developments in the R-3 and R-4 zones within the boundaries of the City recognized West University Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association, a parking space reduction is allowed when a car-sharing program is provided, as follows: 1. For developments required to provide a minimum of 15 parking spaces, the minimum number of parking spaces may be reduced by three parking spaces for one on-site space dedicated to a shared car, or for a space dedicated to a shared car within 1/4 mile or 1320 feet of the development site that is bound to the subject site by a car sharing agreement as specified in (2) below. For each additional 15 parking spaces required to be provided, an additional reduction of three parking spaces is allowed for each shared car, not to exceed a total reduction of 9 spaces. 2. The developer must provide to the city an agreement with a professional car sharing organization specifying the terms of the car share program. At a minimum, the agreement must demonstrate consistency with subsection (1) above, and that the shared cars must be made available to residents of the development, and may be made available to residents outside the development. The agreement must be recorded against the property with the Lane County Recorder’s Office. 3. Spaces reserved for shared car parking must be marked as such with a sign having a minimum area of 1 square foot. 4. If a car-sharing agreement approved under this section ceases to function, as determined by the Planning Director, the development must conform to the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces as per Table 9.6410. This could be accomplished by providing additional on-site parking, by providing evidence of a city approved off-site parking lease agreement per EC 9.6410(1) or by altering the development, such as by reducing bedrooms, in such a way to meet the applicable parking requirements.
