(A) Off-street automobile storage or parking space shall be provided on any lot which any of the following uses are hereafter established:
Dwelling | 1 parking space for each individual unit |
Hotel | 1 parking space for each 4 guests sleeping rooms |
Industrial or manufacturing establishments | 1 parking space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area or for each 5 workers, based on peak employment and adequate space for loading and unloading all vehicles used incidental to the operations of the industrial or manufacturing establishment |
Office building and stores | 1 parking space for each 300 square feet of office or store floor area |
Theater, stadium, auditorium or other places of public assembly | 1 parking space for each 1 seat, based on maximum seating capacity |
Tourist accommodation | 1 parking space for each room offered for tourist accommodations |
(B) Such space shall be provided with vehicular access to street or alley and shall be considered required open space associated with permitted use. It shall not be reduced or encroached upon in any manner after the use is established. Where such space cannot be reasonably provided on the same lot with the principal use, the Council, with the approval of the Planning Commission, may permit such space to be located on other off-street property if the space is within 500 feet of the permitted use, measured along lines of public access.
(C) In any commercial or industrial district, space for loading of vehicles shall be provided on the same lot for every building used or designed to be used for that purpose. One loading space at least ten by 25 feet shall be provided for each 20,000 square feet of floor area in the building. Where such space is completely enclosed within a building by walls and doors which close, a height clearance of at least 12 feet, nine inches shall be provided. Where such space is located wholly or in part outside of the building and is not completely enclosed, a height clearance of at least 14 feet shall be provided. Where approach ramps are sloped so as to necessitate clearance in addition to that here in specified, this clearance shall be adequate to allow the free passage of a semi-trailer 12 feet, six inches in height and with a wheel base of 21 feet. These requirements may be increased, modified or waived on appeal where conditions or circumstances justify such action.
