§ 153.1296 PARKING RATIOS.
   (A)   Generally.
      (1)   Applicability. The minimum parking ratio standards apply to all zoning districts, except the “D” (Downtown) Zoning District. The minimum parking ratios do not apply to the TND or TOD use patterns.
      (2)   Uses not identified. The Code Enforcement Officer shall determine the parking requirement for uses that do not correspond to the categories listed in Table 153.1296(A) below. In such instances, the applicant shall provide adequate information by which the proposal can be reviewed, which includes but may not necessarily be limited to the following:
         (a)   Type of uses;
         (b)   Number of employees;
         (c)   Building design capacity;
         (d)   Square feet of sales area and service area;
         (e)   Parking spaces proposed on site;
         (f)   Parking spaces provided elsewhere; and
         (g)   Hours of operation.
      (3)   Multiple uses. Where the application identifies accessory or multiple uses within a structure or multiple structures, the minimum standards shall apply to each use or structure. This does not apply to § 153.1297 of this chapter.
      (4)   Fractional measurements. When units or measurements determining the number of required off-street parking spaces result in a fractional space, then such fraction equal or greater than one-half shall require a full off-street parking space.
      (5)   Floor area measurement. Floor area and GFA are synonymous for purposes of this chapter. (See “gross floor area”, as defined in § 153.0008 of this chapter.)
      (6)   On-street parking. The minimum number of required off-street parking spaces shall be reduced by the number of on-street parking spaces abutting the property lines of the lot or parcel.
   (B)   Minimum parking ratios. Table 153.1296(A) below establishes the minimum numbers of parking spaces required for the uses indicated. For the purposes of parking calculations, the gross area of any parking garage within a building shall not be included within the GFA of the building. Parking requirements may be met by one or more of a combination of the following methods.
      (1)   Providing on-site parking spaces. Only spaces that are designed consistent with this section are counted toward the minimum parking required. Spaces at gasoline pumps and bays for auto repair/service are not counted toward the minimum parking required. No part of a parking or loading space required for any building to comply with this chapter shall be included as part of a parking or loading space required for another building.
      (2)   Making payments in lieu of parking spaces that shall be contributed to a parking fund specifically set aside to provide public parking within one-quarter mile of the exterior boundaries of the proposed development. The amount of the payment for each space shall be established by a resolution of the city and shall be reasonable and based on the actual or estimated cost to provide such spaces. No development approvals shall be issued until complete payment has been received by the city.
      (3)   Providing off-site parking spaces in a shared parking facility. Shared parking facilities must conform to § 153.1297 of this chapter.
   (C)   Maximum parking ratios.
      (1)   Table 153.1296(A) below indicates the maximum number of parking spaces established for the use or structure. If a maximum parking space ratio applies, the number of parking spaces shall not exceed the maximum number permitted.
      (2)   The maximum spaces allowed do not include accessible spaces required by the building code.
