(a) Where floor area is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, gross floor area shall be used for all land uses.
(b) Where seating capacity is the standard for determining parking space requirements, the capacity shall mean the number of seating units installed or indicated, or when fixed seats are not indicted, the capacity shall be determined as being one seat for each 20 square feet of floor area of the assembly room.

(Ord. 21-161, passed 12-13-2021)
(a) Whenever any change in use, enlargement of a building, or extension of a land use results in an increase in the number of units used to measure required off-street parking, loading or waiting spaces, and such alteration or change creates a need for an increase of more than 15% in the number of required off-street parking spaces, additional off-street parking shall be provided on the basis of the increase in the number of such units of measurement.
(b) The 15% increase shall be measured as an aggregate change from the number of spaces that existed on the effective date of this code.

(b) Off-street parking areas for one use shall not be considered as providing requirements for any other use unless the Planning Commission decides to reduce the number of parking spaces required for uses in a B-3 District. The Planning Commission determination must be made in writing and shall consider the following criteria:
(1) The number of on-street parking spaces in the vicinity;
(2) The availability of parking areas on adjacent sites, considering the hours of operation of the subject use and adjacent uses; and
(3) The cumulative adverse impact on the district if buildings are removed from a multiple storefront streetscape in order to provide parking on site.
(Ord. 21-161, passed 12-13-2021)
(a) Not to exceed. In order to prevent excessive lot coverage, the artificial increase in air temperature, and an unnecessary increase in surface water run-off, no minimum off-street parking space requirement in § 1234.14: Number of Parking Spaces Required, shall be exceeded by more than 20% unless good cause can be shown by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission. Single-family dwellings, two-family dwellings and multi-family dwellings are exempt from this provision.
(b) Reduced and adjacency parking. The Planning Commission may approve a site plan with a reduction in the number of parking spaces required if it can be shown that the lesser number of spaces is appropriate and consistent with these regulations, the land use plan, and other plans of the city under the following provisions.
(1) When the required parking spaces for a proposed use can be accommodated on an adjacent or nearby site, arrangements can be made between the businesses and other property owners that are not normally open, used or operated during the same hours to share parking facilities in order to meet their parking requirements, provided that not more than 50% of the required parking spaces are shared.
(2) Where the required parking spaces are collectively or jointly provided and used, a written agreement thereby assuring their retention for such purposes shall be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved as to form by the Law Director, and filed with the application for a zoning permit.
(Ord. 21-161, passed 12-13-2021)
If the number of parking spaces required in § 1234.14: Number of Parking Spaces Required, is substantially larger than the number anticipated by the applicant, and the applicant provides sufficient evidence that supports the reduced parking needs, the Planning Commission may approve a site plan with a lesser number of parking spaces, provided that:
(a) Suitable area(s) must be reserved for the construction of the balance of the total number of spaces otherwise required by this chapter and shall be illustrated on the site plan in locations and with landscaping in full compliance with this code. Such areas shall include needed areas for stormwater management in association with such parking facilities;
(b) The Planning Commission, upon re-evaluation of the project parking needs, may at any time direct that some or all of the reserved spaces be constructed; and
(c) Any additional parking, if and when constructed, shall be provided according to the approved site plan and only after approval of the construction plans by the Code Administrator.
