7-14-4627 . Leasing of surplus or uneconomical space for incidental purposes. (1) Subject to the limitations imposed by this part, when in the judgment of the commission it is convenient or necessary to permit such use in order to utilize properly such land as a parking facility, each parking commission shall have power to lease for incidental commercial purposes surplus space or space which it is not economical to use for parking purposes, as an incident to the operation of any parking facility.
(2) The city or parking commission shall be prohibited from operating any such additional, secondary, and incidental facilities.

Such incidental use or uses at street level may occupy the entire surface area of the property less that area required for vehicular and pedestrian movement if at least two higher levels, each of equal or greater area, are devoted entirely to parking purposes.
(b) Other provisions notwithstanding, the commission or the city may lease air rights above such building.
