   (C)   Uses with variable parking demand characteristics. Uses that reference this subsection in Table 166.07, Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards, have widely varying parking demand characteristics, making it difficult to establish a single off-street parking standard. Upon receiving a development application for a use subject to this subsection, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the off-street parking standard specified for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use or establish minimum off-street parking standards on the basis of a parking study prepared by the applicant. Such a study shall include estimates of parking demand based on recommendations of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), or other acceptable estimates as approved by the Zoning Administrator, and should include other reliable data collected from uses or combinations of uses that are the same as or comparable with the proposed use. Comparability will be determined by density, scale, bulk, area, type of activity, and location. The study shall document the source of data used to develop the recommendations.

   (D)   Mixed uses. Unless otherwise approved, lots containing more than one use shall provide parking spaces in an amount equal to the total of the standards for all individual uses. This provision shall not limit the ability to submit an alternative parking plan (See § 166.06-09) to reduce the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces in recognition of different operating hours or peak business periods.

   (E)   Maximum number of spaces permitted. For any use categorized as a Commercial Use in Table 166.07, Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards, off-street vehicle parking spaces shall not be provided in an amount that is more than 125% of the minimum standards established in Table 166.07, Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards, except in the Downtown Commercial (DC) District, where the number of off-street parking spaces may exceed 125% of the minimum standards.
