NOTES TO TABLE: | |
(D) Calculation of required spaces.
(1) Floor area. Where a parking requirement is a ratio of parking spaces to floor area, the floor area is assumed to be gross floor area, unless otherwise stated. The floor area of a use is calculated as described in § 155.112.050 (Floor Area and Floor Area Ratio).
(2) Employees. Where a parking requirement is stated as a ratio of parking spaces to employees, the number of employees is based on the largest shift that occurs in a typical week.
(3) Seats. Where a parking requirement is stated as a ratio of parking spaces to seats, each 24 inches of bench-type seating is counted as one seat.
(4) Fractional spaces. In determining the number of required parking, fractions of spaces over one-half will be rounded down to the next whole number.
(E) Unlisted uses. The parking requirement for land uses not listed in Table 324-1 is determined by the Director based on the requirement for the most comparable similar use, the particular characteristics of the proposed use and any other relevant data regarding parking demand.
(F) Sites with multiple uses. Where more than one land use is conducted on a site, the minimum number of required on-site parking spaces is the sum of the number of parking spaces required for each individual use unless on-site shared parking is allowed in accordance with § 155.324.040(D) (On-site Shared Parking).
