(A) Parking requirements shall be based on the use or type and intensity of residential and non-residential use, facility or business. Uses not specified herein shall follow the parking requirements within the category most appropriate to that use. Off-street parking is permissible in all front yards, except as otherwise specified. Number of spaces shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. All parking shall be provided on the same lot as the structure served except as otherwise allowed in this chapter.
(B) (1) Location and control of parking facilities.
(a) The off-street parking facilities shall be located on the same lot or parcel of land as the building they are intended to serve, except that in cases of practical difficulty for uses other than dwellings.
(b) The Zoning Administrator may consider a satellite lot meeting the following conditions.
1. All or part of a satellite lot must be adjacent to or within 200 feet from the main building or use, measured along the shortest available pedestrian route of access.
2. The satellite lot must be in the same ownership or control as the building or use it is intended to serve and must be maintained as long as the building or use exists. Such ownership or control may be by deed or by a long-term lease that runs concurrently with the building or use. Where a satellite lot is to be used for off-street parking, the applicant for a building permit shall submit with his or her application an instrument duly executed and acknowledged that subjects the satellite lot to parking in connection with the principal building or use. If a building permit is authorized, the Building Inspector shall cause the same instrument to be recorded in the office of the County Clerk. The recording fee shall be paid by the applicant.
(2) Access to parking facilities. Access driveways shall be provided for ingress and egress from all parking and loading facilities and shall be designed in a manner that will not interfere with the movements of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Forward travel from a dedicated street shall be required for all uses except in connection with one- or two-family dwellings. All access driveways shall comply with all other applicable standards.
(3) Computation of required parking spaces. For the purpose of computing off-street parking spaces that are required by this chapter, the following rules shall apply.
(a) FLOOR AREAS shall mean gross floor area unless otherwise specified for a particular use.
(b) In auditoriums, sports arenas, churches and other places of assembly in which benches or pews are used in place of seats, each 18 inches of length of such benches or pews shall be counted as one seat.
