1175.03 PARKING IN COS, R-LD, R-MD, R-UD, R-TH, R-MHL, R-MHH AND R-MHP DISTRICTS.
   In any COS, R-LD, R-MD, R-UD, R-TH, R-MHL, R-MHH and R-MHP District, no off-street parking spaces shall be located within any required front yard on any lot except on an approved driveway leading to a side or rear yard parking space. Such driveway and parking space shall be suitably paved so as to provide a durable and dustless surface of asphalt, concrete, brick or other surface approved by the Building Inspector. The areas of the driveway in a front yard shall not exceed one-third of the area of such yard, and the width of such driveway shall not exceed twenty feet measured at the front lot lines. Permitted front yard parking shall include motor vehicles as defined in Section 301.20 of the Traffic Code, except trucks, tractors, or any other commercially licensed vehicle over one-ton capacity which are prohibited from parking in the COS, R-LD, R-MD, R-UD, R-TH, R-MHL, R-MHH and R-MHP Districts.
(Ord. 99-275. Passed 12-6-99.)
1175.04 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT.
   In computing the number of parking spaces required by this Zoning Code, the following shall apply:
   A.   Where floor area is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, floor area shall be the sum of the gross leasable area of all floors of a non-residential building.
   B.   Where seating capacity is designated as the standard for determining parking space requirements, the capacity shall mean the number of seating units installed or indicated for each twenty (20) linear inches of seating units.
   C.   Fractional numbers shall be increased to the next higher whole number.
   D.   Parking space requirements for a use not specifically mentioned in this Zoning Code shall be determined by using the most similar and restrictive parking space requirement as determined by the Building Inspector.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
1175.05 MIXED USES AND COLLECTIVE PROVISION.
   In the case of mixed uses, the required off-street parking spaces shall be the sum of the requirements for the separate uses. Off-street parking facilities for one use, however, shall not be considered as providing the required parking facilities for any other use, except that no more than fifty (50) percent of the off-street parking spaces required for a theater, bowling alley, dance hall, restaurant, tavern or night club may be supplied by off-street parking facilities provided for buildings or uses normally open and operated at other hours, such as financial institutions, business offices, retail businesses, personal services, manufacturing establishments and other similar uses. Not more than fifty (50) percent of the parking facilities required for the latter uses, as previously mentioned, may be supplied by such spaces provided for theaters, religious places of worship or other of the former uses, provided that a properly drawn legal instrument for the joint use of the off-street parking facilities is executed by the parties concerned, which instrument, duly approved as to form and manner of execution by the City Law Director, shall be filed with the application for a building permit.
(Ord. 98-176. Passed 8-3-98.)
