(c)   Units of Measurement. For the purposes of this section, the following units of measurement shall apply:

(1)   In the case of offices, merchandising or service types of uses, floor area means the gross floor area used or intended to be used by tenants or for service to the public as customers, patrons, clients or patients, including areas occupied by fixtures and equipment, used for the display or sale of merchandise. It shall not include areas used principally for nonpublic purposes, such as storage, incidental repair, processing or packing of merchandise, for show windows, for offices incidental to the management or maintenance of stores or buildings, for toilet or rest rooms, for utilities, or for dressing rooms, fitting or alteration rooms.

(2)   In hospitals, bassinets shall not be counted as beds.

(3)   In places of public assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or other such seating facilities, each twenty inches of such seating facilities shall be counted as one seat.

(d)   Addition and Enlargements. Whenever on any lot or in any building there is a change in use or an increase in floor area or in the number of employees or other unit of measurement hereinbefore specified for the determination of required off-street parking spaces, additional off-street parking facilities shall be provided on the basis of the increased requirements of the new use or other unit of measurement; provided, however, that in case such change in use creates a need for increase in off-street parking spaces of less than ten percent (10%) of the parking facilities previously required, no additional parking facilities shall be required.

(e)   Collective Provision. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent collective provision of accessory off-street parking facilities for two or more buildings or uses, provided that the total of such off-street parking spaces supplied collectively shall not be less than the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately; and further provided that the requirements set forth in Section 1183.04 as to the maximum distances between parking areas and establishments served shall apply to each such establishment participating in the collective provisions of parking.
