   (1) Required parking spaces for all uses shall be provided on the same site as the building or use in respect of which the spaces are required, except that for any permitted commercial use in a commercial zone, a mixed-use commercial and residential zone, a business park zone, or any part of a Comprehensive Development Zone where a commercial use is permitted, an owner or occupier may comply with subsection (a) or (b):

   (a) Provided a building, structure, or use for which application for payment in lieu is not located more than 150 m (492 ft) from a Municipal parking facility, the Municipality will accept a payment in lieu of the number of on-site parking spaces. The payment shall be eleven thousand dollars ($11 000) per parking space required.

   (b) Required parking spaces may be provided on land other than that in respect of which the spaces are required, provided that:

   (i) the parking site is located within a distance of 150 m (492 ft) from the site where the building, structure, or use requiring provision of parking is located or carried on; and

   (ii) an easement or covenant in favour of the municipality is registered against the title of the parking site, requiring that it be used to provide the required number of parking spaces for the building, structure, or use which requires the parking.

   (iii) Clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply to properties which have direct access to highways controlled by the Ministry of Transportation.
