1149.11 PARKING SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

   For the purpose of this chapter, the following parking space requirements provided in the Parking Space Use Table below shall apply. In the event a land use is not listed in the Table, the following procedure for determining the appropriate land use designation shall occur:

   (a)   The Building Commissioner shall refer to the land uses listed in Parking Space Use Table to assist in determining a suitable land use category that is substantially similar to the use under consideration based upon size of use or structure, intensity of use and general type of land use.

   (b)   If the Building Commissioner determines that the land use under consideration is not substantially similar to any of the land uses provided for in this Table, the Building Commissioner shall then establish a minimum parking space requirement for the unidentified land use. This minimum parking space requirement shall be documented with supporting data or other Zoning Code samples setting forth a reasonable minimum parking space requirement based upon the land use under consideration and further based on those industry accepted parking plan elements including, but not limited to:

      (1)   Estimated number of vehicle trips per day; and

      (2)   Estimated number of occupants for both all structures or open areas located upon the parcel under consideration based upon maximum building occupancy figures and other industry related data which provides insight into the intensity and timing of vehicle usage of the land use under consideration.
