In computing the number of parking spaces required by this Chapter, the following standards shall apply:
(a) Gross Floor Area. Where gross floor area (GFA) is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, GFA shall be the sum of the gross horizontal area of all floors of the building, without deduction for hallways, stairs, closets, interior walls or other accessory areas.
(b) Gross Leasable Area. Where gross leasable area (GLA) is the standard, GLA means the total floor area designed for the exclusive use of a tenant or occupant, whether owned or leased.
(c) Net Floor Area. Where net floor area (NFA) is the standard, NFA means the area used for service to the public, excluding areas used principally for non- public purposes such as storage, incidental repair, processing, show windows, dressing rooms and rest rooms.
(d) Seating Capacity. Where parking for places of assembly is based on seating capacity, the capacity shall be determined by the number of seating units indicated on plans or based on the number of occupants as prescribed by the Ohio Basic Building Code.
(e) Unlisted Uses. For buildings, uses or activities not listed in Section 1276.04
, the Planning Commission shall apply a parking requirement which the Commission finds most appropriate for the proposed building, use or activity.
