.
aoceptance thereof by the City shall be deemed to ful-
fill the off-street parking requirements of the pre-
ceding subsection as to one-story oonstruction on the
parcel of property for which payment is thus made.
Such payment shall be increased, in the case of build-
ings containing lofts, balconies, basements and addi-
tional stories, in proportion to the additional floor
space in excess of a single-story building with floor
space on only one level. Payments in excess of the

the payment of a lesser sum would be unjustly dispro-

All sums thus paid shall be deposited in the Off-street
Parking Fund.

known as the Off-Street Parking Fund. All sums accru-
ing to or paid into the Off-Street Parking Fund pursu-
ant to this Section 15 shall be used solely for the
acquisition and improvement of such publicly owned off-
street parking places, including ingress thereto and
egress therefrom, as will, in the judgment of the City
Council, be beneficial to properties in the partiCUlar
commercial or industrial area in which is situated the
property with respeot to which payment of money was
made in lieu of providing parking space required by
this Ordinance.
.
Nothing in this Ordinance shall prohibit the collective
use of space for off-street parking provided such collec-
tively used space is equal to the sum of the requirements of
each individual establishment participating in such collec-
tive use. When the required off-street parking space is
provided on a separate lot from the main building, there
shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder of
Los Angeles County, California, a oovenant by the owner or
owners of said lot for the benefit of the City of Arcadia
to the effect that such owner or owners will continue to
maintain such parking space so long as said building is
maintained.
(3) For tourist courts there shall be at least one
(1) parking space for each individual sleeping or living
unit. .
