RE: Greenbrier Square Cooperative Parking Agreement
TM/P 061 W0-01-0A-00500
Dear Mr. Gilliam:
The purpose of this letter is to document the approval of a cooperative parking
agreement for Greenbrier Square. This agreement will allow the El Rey
Restaurant to occupy 6884 square feet in the development, subject to the
following conditions:
1. A physical demarcation must be provided that clearly identifies an area
containing a minimum of 2350 square feet that may not be open to the
public between the hours of 5 p.m. to 6 a.m.
2. Cooperative parking agreements must be maintained with a sufficient
number of tenants in the development to provide the deficit spaces.
This approval is based on several factors and is in accord with the criteria set
forth in Section 4.12.10 of the zoning ordinance. The Parking analysis that is
attached to this letter indicates that 146 parking spaces are provided on the site.
The total number of parking spaces required by all of the tenants, including the El
Rey Restaurant is 176 spaces. This deficit of 30 spaces is offset by the parking
agreements you submitted that are signed by Allen Printing and Copying, Girl
Scouts of Virginia Skyline Council, Inc., Roanoke J.L., L.L.C., and Schnabel
Engineering South , L.L.C. These businesses, taken together, are allocated 33
spaces.
This approval is based on different peak operating hours. The businesses that
have signed the cooperative parking agreements operate almost exclusively
between the hours of 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. The space in the restaurant that would
require the additional 30 parking spaces is not permitted to operate between the
hours of 6 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Page 2
The ordinance limits the aggregate number of spaces participating in the shared
parking to 35% of the total spaces on the site. This arrangement represents a
17% reduction of spaces.
We are not aware of any parking problems on this site. Furthermore, we respect
your judgement regarding the parking requirements for this development.
This administrative approval is authorized by the parking ordinance as amended
on February 5, 2003. It is consistent with the Planning Commission's conditioned
approval for cooperative parking on this site that was granted on February 11 ,
2003 under the previous parking regulations.
Please be aware that changes in uses in the development that require additional
parking may trigger the need to amend this agreement.
An amended zoning compliance clearance will be required before the restaurant
expansion is opened to the public. The approval of that clearance will be subject
to this cooperative parking agreement.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
'4444/
John Shepherd

4.12.10 SHARED PARKING
Shared parking allows parking spaces to be shared among two (2) or more uses that typically
experience peak parking demands at different times and is located on the same lot or on nearby
lots. Because parking spaces are shared, the total number of parking spaces that would otherwise
be required may be reduced. In addition to all other applicable requirements of this section, the
following requirements shall apply to shared parking:
a. Authority to reduce aggregate number of parking spaces. The zoning administrator may
reduce the aggregate minimum number of required parking spaces, provided that each use
participating in the shared parking experiences peak parking demands at different times. The
zoning administrator shall base this decision on the particular circumstances of the
application.
b. Parking study. Before making the decision to allow shared parking and to reduce the
aggregate number of parking spaces, the zoning administrator may require the applicant to
submit a parking study to determine the peak parking demand periods or other information
needed to determine the viability of shared parking under the particular circumstances of the
application.
c. Effect of reserved parking spaces. Parking spaces reserved for specific individuals or classes
of individuals shall not be counted toward the parking spaces that could be shared, except for
those spaces designated and marked for use only by handicapped persons.
d. Maximum reduction. The aggregate number of parking spaces required for all uses
participating in the shared parking shall not be reduced by more than thirty-five(35)percent.
(§4.12.4, 12-10-80;Ord. 03-18(1),2-5-03)

requirements of this section,the following requirements shall apply to stand alone parking:
