Unless otherwise permitted to use a drive for parking, such required parking spaces shall be exclusive of all drives, curbs and turning space.

(b) "Floor area" means the total area of all the floors measured from the exterior faces of the building. Where building floor area is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, floor area shall be the total of all floor areas of the building, excluding stairwells and elevator shafts, mechanical equipment rooms and utility rooms; provided however, that such exclusions shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total floor area.
(c) "Seat" means the number of seating units installed or indicated, or each twenty- four linear inches of benches, pews or space for loose chairs or similar seating facilities; spacing of rows shall be thirty inches on center.
(d) "Employees" means the maximum number of employees on any two successive shifts.
(e) Required Minimum Parking Spaces. Where the computation results in a fractional unit, one additional off-street parking space shall be provided.
(f) Parking facilities serving any dwelling shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling served.
(g) No vehicle shall be parked so that any portion extends over any lot line or public sidewalk.
(h) No off-street parking space shall be located so that any portion extends over any lot line, public sidewalk or public right of way.
