Rules for parking and loading in a different location

(a) Required parking spaces, loading spaces, or bicycle parking spaces may be located off the premises as remote parking and loading facilities, in compliance with § 21-2.90 relating to conditional uses. Remote parking and loading may be used in conjunction with the joint use of parking and loading. (b) The distance between the entrance to the parking facility and nearest principal entrance of the establishment must not exceed 2,640 feet (a half-mile) using customary pedestrian routes. Remote loading facilities must not be separated from the establishment requiring the loading by a street, and must be connected by an improved pedestrian path or sidewalk. The distance between remote bicycle parking and the nearest principal pedestrian entrance of the establishment requiring the bicycle parking must not exceed 400 feet by customary pedestrian routes. (c) When the remote parking or loading is necessary to meet minimum parking requirements, a written instrument must be recorded in the State bureau of conveyances, or the office of the assistant registrar of the land court of the State of Hawaii, or both, as appropriate, for both the zoning lot containing the principal structure or use and the remote parking lot or structure. The agreement must assure the continued availability of the number of required remote parking spaces being provided. The agreement must stipulate that if a required parking space is not maintained, or a parking space acceptable to the director is not substituted, the use or the portion of the use that is deficient in the number of required parking spaces must be discontinued. The agreement will be subject to the approval of the department of the corporation counsel as to form and legality.
