§ 159.66 CLARIFICATION, EXCEPTION AND MODIFICATION OF OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
   (A)   No parking space located on a public street or alley may be included in the calculation of off-street parking requirements.
   (B)   Parking spaces used for the parking of trucks or buses shall not be counted towards meeting the requirements of this section.
   (C)   When the computation for the number of parking spaces required under this subchapter results in the requirement of a fractional space, the fractional space requirement shall be satisfied by adding one additional space to the whole-space total.
   (D)   When a lot is used for a combination of uses, the off-street parking requirements are the sum of the requirements for each use, and no off-street parking space for one use is included in the calculation of off-street parking requirements for any other use, except as provided in §§ 159.60 to 159.68.
   (E)   Except for single-family, duplex and townhouse uses, head-in parking adjacent to a public street where the maneuvering of the vehicle in parking or leaving the parking space is done on a public street is prohibited, and on all existing uses is excluded in computing off-street parking requirements.
   (F)   The parking space required for a use not specifically mentioned herein shall be the same as required for a use of similar nature.
   (G)   After the effective date of this subchapter, whenever a property is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity or otherwise, to create a need for an increase of 10% or more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of this subchapter is enlarged to the extent of 50% or more in floor area used, the building or use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein.
   (H)   Parking and storage of vehicles shall be in accordance with the city’s abandoned and junk vehicle ordinance.
   (I)   For purposes of these regulations, major recreational equipment is defined as including boats and boat trailers, travel trailers, pickup campers or coaches (designed to be mounted on automotive vehicles), motorized dwellings, tent trailers and the like and cases or boxes used for transporting recreational equipment, whether occupied by such equipment or not. No major recreational equipment shall be parked or stored in a residential district except in a carport or enclosed building or behind the portion of a building nearest to a street, provided, however, that the equipment may be parked anywhere on residential premises for not to exceed 24 hours during loading or unloading. No such equipment shall be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes when parked or stored on a residential lot, or in any location not approved for the use, except as specified in this subchapter.
