(B) In applying the standards set forth above, the following shall apply:
(1) Accessory uses are calculated using the formula applicable to the principle use of the property and are considered inclusive of the total required for the principle use of property. In the case of mixed or joint uses, the parking spaces required shall equal the sum of the requirements of various uses computed separately. In cases of mixed or joint uses or in cases as provided in § 158.160(B)(6) below, parking facilities may be shared if multiple uses cooperatively establish and operate parking facilities if these uses generate parking demands at different times. (For example, if one use operates during the evenings and weekends only and the other use operates during the weekdays only.) The applicant shall have the burden of proof for a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces, and shall provide documentation to include covenants, deed restrictions or other agreements to ensure conformance with the provisions of this chapter.
(2) Where a fractional space results, any fraction less than one-half may be dropped and any fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one parking space.
(3) These standards shall apply fully to all uses and buildings established after the effective date of this chapter.
(4) Except for parcels of land devoted to one- and two-family uses, all areas devoted to off-street parking shall be so designed and be of such size that no vehicle is required to back into a public street to obtain egress.
(5) Where parking is to be provided in the front yard of a multiple-family dwelling, there shall be established a setback line of ten feet. The area between the setback line and front lot line shall be prepared and planted with grass, shrubs or trees.
(6) All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served. However, when an increase in the number of spaces is required by a change of use or enlargement of the building or where the spaces are provided collectively or used jointly by two or more buildings or establishments, the required spaces may be located and maintained not to exceed 400 feet from any other nonresidential building served.
(7) No signs of any kind shall be erected except information signs used to guide traffic and to state the conditions and terms of the use of the lot. Only non-intermittent white lighting of signs shall be permitted.
