Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be on the same lot or parcel of land as the structure they serve. However, off-street parking requirements shall be considered satisfied if a. The property being occupied is part of a parking district which has been duly formed under the provisions of the Gilroy Municipal Code; and said district is found to adequately provide off-street parking spaces for the new or additional uses contemplated, and the required parking is to be permanently provided within 200 feet of the site; or b. When provisions have been made for the joint use of off-street parking by the occupants of two or more facilities, the total of such spaces when used together is not less than the sum of the require- ments for the various individual uses when computed separately; and provided said joint space is to be permanently provided within 200 feet of all partic- ipating property uses and is cooperatively established and operated. In the case of cooperative parking facilities designed to serve the require- ments of independent property uses, a reduction of not more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of spaces required for each may be allowed if operational characteristics of the uses so warrant, subject to securing a Use Permit from the Planning Commission, and provided such reduction is found to be consistent with all other purposes of the parking provision of this chapter; or c. A lot or parcel is located within an off-street parking assessment district and funds are received by the City as in-lieu payments for off-street parking, provided that policies and procedures for such in-lieu payments are first adopted by the City Council to accept in-lieu payments and to deposit such payments into a duly formed parking assessment district trust for the future development of off-street parking facilities; or d. When other alternative provisions for off-street parking and loading are pro- posed, provided approval therefore has been secured from the Planning Commis- sion through the Use Permit procedure -8- SECTION VII: All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
