(A) Where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking and loading spaces, the unit shall mean the gross floor area (GFA), unless otherwise noted.
(B) (1) Where the floor area measurement is specified as gross leasable floor area (GLA), parking requirements shall apply to all internal building areas excluding the floor area used for incidental service, storage, mechanical equipment rooms, heating/cooling systems and similar uses, and other areas not intended for use by the general public.
(2) Where these areas are not yet defined, leasable floor area shall be considered to be 85% of the gross floor area.
(C) In calculating bench seating for places of assembly, each 24 inches of benches, pews or other like seating, shall be counted as 1 seat.
(D) Where the number of spaces required is based on the number of employees, calculations shall be based upon the maximum number of employees likely to be on the premises during the peak shift. When units of measurements determining the number of required parking or loading spaces result in a fractional space, any fraction shall be counted as 1 additional space.
