However, if a more realistic ratio is used for retail space and dinner house style restaurants, then a 21% reduction if parking requirements for nighttime and daytime uses, because the parking demand will be offset will be enough to match the parking proposed to be provided by the applicant. When the net square footage in the shopping center, less the mall, the mechanical room and rest rooms, is compared to the parking count provided, the overall ratio is 4.44 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. The Zoning Code includes conditions required for joint use of parking facilities (see Section 1121.15 Subd. 1.b.(6)(a) - (c). These are noted below with staff's comments. (a) The building or use for which application is being made to utilize the off-street parking facilities provided by another building or use shall be located within three hundred feet (300')of such parking facilities and not separated by a public way.
