2. Fractions Of Parking Spaces: When computation of required parking spaces results in a fraction, any fraction of less than one-half (1/2) shall be disregarded, and any fraction of one-half (1/2) or more shall be counted as one parking space.
3. Multiple Uses On A Lot: When there are multiple uses on a lot, the amount of parking spaces required shall be the sum of the parking requirements for each individual use.
4. Use Of Off-Street Loading Area: Area allocated to any off- street loading spaces shall not be used to satisfy parking space requirements.
5. Parking Reductions And Shared Parking: The amount of parking required for a use may be reduced if the use qualifies for a parking reduction as established in section 10-8-3, "Parking Reductions", of this chapter or shared parking as established in section 10-8-4, "Shared Parking", of this chapter.
