The total number of required parking and loading spaces shall be based upon the requirements for the principal use of the lot. However, when more than one use occupies the same lot, the number of required spaces shall be the sum of the separate requirements for each use. All off-street parking facilities shall be completed before occupancy of the structure. In computing the number of off-street parking or loading spaces required by this subchapter, the following standards for computation shall apply:
(A) Space allocated to any off-street loading space shall not be used to satisfy the requirement for any off-street parking space or access aisle, or portion thereof. Conversely, the area allocated to any off-street parking space shall not be used to satisfy the replacement for any off-street loading space or portion thereof.
(B) A fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded, and a fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one parking or loading space.
(C) In places of assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or similar seating facilities, each 24 inches of such seating facility shall be counted as one seat for the purpose of determining the requirement for off-street parking facilities.
(D) Except as otherwise specified, parking or loading spaces required on an employee basis shall be based on the maximum number of employees normally present on the premises at any one time. When the determination of the number of parking spaces is based on the number of employees, the owner and/or manager shall be counted as an employee(s).
