In computing the number of parking spaces required by this Planning and Zoning Code the following rules shall apply:
(a) Floor Area. Where floor area is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, gross floor area shall be used.
(b) Seats. Where seating capacity is the standard for determining parking space requirements, the capacity shall mean the number of seating units installed or indicated, or one seat for each 24 lineal inches of benches or pews. When fixed seating is not indicated, the capacity shall be determined as being one seat for each 20 square feet of floor area of the assembly room.
(c) Employees. Where employees are the standard for determining parking space requirements, employees shall mean the maximum number of employees on any two successive shifts.
(d) Fractional Numbers. Where the computation results in a fractional unit the number shall be increased to the next whole number.
(e) Parking for Mixed Uses. A building or group of buildings containing two or more uses, operating normally during the same hours, and which have different off-street parking requirements, may jointly provide spaces for not less than the sum of the spaces required for each use.
