(A) Required parking spaces.
(1) Parking requirement calculations shall be based on gross square footage of each land use type, unless otherwise specified. Except as may be established by an approved alternate parking plan, approved pursuant to § 158.138 of this chapter, parking spaces shall be provided in not less than the number of spaces (rounded up to the next whole number) necessary to address the applicable use as set forth on the table entitled, “Minimum Parking Guidelines, By Use”. Developments containing two or more of the uses listed on the table shall provide the combined number of spaces required for each use, except as may be reduced under § 158.138(C) of this chapter.
(2) Required additional off-street parking spaces for enlarged or expanded uses or buildings shall be calculated based only the increased use or building, provided that in all cases the number of off-street parking spaces provided for the entire use (preexisting, plus expansion) must equal at least 75% of the minimum ratio established in the table entitled, “Minimum Parking Guidelines, By Use”. In cases of expansion to parking areas, gravel lots anywhere on the site shall be upgraded to an asphalt or concrete surface.
(B) Calculation of required spaces. For purposes of calculations set forth in the table, the following terms and methods shall govern.
(1) Gross leasable area (“GLA”) shall be determined by the total area in square feet (“SF”) of all floors intended for occupancy and the exclusive use of tenants, specifically excluding public or common
areas such as utility rooms, stairwells, enclosed malls and interior hallways; gross floor area (“GFA”) is determined by the total area in square feet of all floors, measured between the exterior walls of a building.
(2) Parking requirements based on employees or capacity calculations shall be based on the largest number of persons working on any single shift or the maximum fire-rated ICC occupant load, whichever is applicable and results in the greater number of spaces.
(3) Parking requirements for churches, theaters or other similar assembly uses shall be based on a ratio of one parking space required for each two and one-half seats permanently and/or temporarily placed for the largest aggregate assembly or assemblies on-site. If seating is horizontal, as with a pew, one seat is measured as 30 horizontal inches.
(4) The required number of stacking spaces for drive-thru establishments shall include the automobile already located at the window, teller, bay or other applicable drive-thru structure.
