4.    The required parking shall be 0.5 per living unit where the parking is managed as follows and the property owner agrees to the following in a form approved by the City and recorded with King County:

a.    Rentals shall be managed such that the total demand for parking does not exceed the available supply of required private parking. If the demand for parking equals or exceeds the supply of required private parking, the property owner shall either restrict occupancy of living units or restrict leasing to only tenants who do not have cars.

b.    The property owner shall prepare a Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for review and approval by the City and recording with King County. At a minimum, the TMP shall include the following requirements:

1)    Charge for on-site parking, unbundled from the rent, for tenants who have cars.

3)    Lease provisions and monitoring requirements for the property owner to ensure that tenants are not parking off site to avoid parking charges.

4)    Adequate secured and sheltered bicycle parking to meet anticipated demand.

5)    Designation of a Transportation Coordinator to manage the TMP, provide commute information to all new tenants, and be a point of contact for the City.

7)    Following the initial survey, the property owner shall submit a biennial survey of residents prepared and conducted by a licensed transportation engineer or other qualified professional documenting on-site and potential off-site parking utilization and alternative commute travel.

c.    After one year of project occupancy, the Planning Official may allow a decrease in the required number of spaces if the number of spaces proposed is documented by an adequate and thorough parking demand and utilization study of the property. The study shall be prepared by a licensed transportation engineer or other qualified professional, and shall analyze the operational characteristics of the use which justify a parking reduction. The scope of the study shall be proposed by the transportation engineer and approved by the City traffic engineer. The study shall provide at least two days of data for morning, afternoon and evening hours, or as otherwise approved or required by the City traffic engineer.

5.    All residential suites and all required parking within a project shall be under common ownership and management.
