(A) Off-street parking space shall be provided for the specific parking classes set forth in the off-street parking table. Parking spaces for accessory uses not specifically enumerated within a parking class shall be assumed to be included in the principal (permitted or special) use requirement.
(B) If, for any reason, the classification of any use, for the purpose of determining the number of off-street parking spaces is not readily determinable hereunder, the parking class of such use shall be fixed by the Administrative Officer.
(C) Where floor area is specified as the basis for determining the number of off-street parking spaces, e.g., “1/1,000 sq. ft. of floor area,” the floor area used shall be in accordance with the definition of floor area contained in § 159.002.
(D) When students or employees, or both, are specified as the basis for determining the number of off-street parking spaces, e.g., “1 per each employee plus 1 per 6 students,” the number of students or employees, or both, shall be determined on the basis of the design capacity of the facility during a regular operating day.
(E) If the design capacity of a facility is not readily determinable because of the absence of design standards for a particular use, the average number of students or employees, or both, occupying the facility during a regular operating day shall be used as the basis for determining the number of off-street parking spaces. If the design capacity of a facility is not readily determinable because of the absence of design standards for a particular use, the average daily number of students or employees, or both, occupying the premises during a regular operating day during the year preceding the adoption of this chapter shall be used as the basis for determining the number of off-street parking spaces.
