10-16-9: NUMBER OF SPACES REQUIRED:

The minimum number of parking spaces required for a use shall be according to table 1 of this section, unless the planning and zoning board authorizes otherwise based on reliable data, such as parking data from a highly comparable facility or a parking demand study prepared by a qualified parking consultant or engineer, which justifies use of a different parking ratio.

Calculations based on the following figures that result in a fraction of one-half (1/2) or greater are to be rounded up, and fractional results of less than one-half (1/2) may be rounded down. Area per square foot (sq. ft.) refers to square foot of gross floor area, unless noted otherwise.
