Conditional Use Permit (Planning Case No. 461-96) Section 1121.15 allows parking requirements to be adjusted, with approval of a conditional use permit, where there are two or more uses located on the same property which have offsetting parking demands, i.e. certain uses are primarily daytime uses and other uses are primarily nighttime or Sunday uses. Uses listed as primarily daytime uses are: • banks, business offices, retail stores, personal service shops, household equipment or furniture shops, clothing or shoe repair or service shops, manufacturing, wholesale and similar uses. . Uses listed as primarily nighttime or Sunday uses include: • auditoriums incidental to a public or parochial school, churches, bowling alley, dance hall, theaters, bar or restaurant. Section 1121.15 allows 50% of the off-street parking facilities needed for nighttime and Sunday uses to be provided by the parking provided for daytime uses, and 50% of the off street parking facilities needed for daytime uses to be provided by the parking provided for nighttime and Sunday uses.
