Sec. 10-03-02. Parking and Access.

   A.   Intent. Every use of land must include on-premises parking sufficient for the needs normally generated by the use. Parking shall be provided in a manner than is safe, accessible, well-designed, and mitigates environmental impacts.

   B.   Applicability. The standards of this section shall apply to new development and expansions greater than twenty percent (20%), as described below:

      1.   Expansion of a structure (GFA), use, number of dwelling units, or seating capacity beyond twenty percent (20%) requires that the entire site must be compliant with the standards herein.

      2.   If the expansion is less than twenty percent (20%), then only the expanded part of the use, building or site must be compliant with these standards.

      3.   If only the site, and not the use or building, is expanded by more than twenty percent (20%), then only the site must be compliant with these standards.

      4.   Where the development standards tables in Division II of this code identify parking as located in side or rear yards, one double-row of parking is permitted in front of the primary structure.

   C.   Calculation of Required Parking Spaces. In determining the required number of parking spaces, fractional spaces are rounded to the nearest whole number, with one-half (½) or more counted as an additional space. Where multiple uses exist on the same lot, the required parking minimum will be the sum of the required parking for each use. Parking reductions may be granted for shared parking as listed herein.

   D.   Minimum Parking Standards. The table below displays the minimum required parking standards by use. Uses not included in the table do not have prescribed parking space counts.
