Sec 122-407 Minimum Required Off-Street Parking

The number of off-street parking spaces required for each use shall be determined by reference to the following table of parking groups. When parking spaces are used for the parking of vehicles for sale, in storage, or used in the operation of a business, such parking spaces shall be provided in addition to those otherwise required. If for any reason the classification of any use for the purpose of determining the amount of off- street parking spaces to be provided by such use is not readily determinable in this section, the classification of use shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council:

Parking Group	Required Parking Spaces
1	1 space for every 4 seats, plus 1 space for every 2 employees
2	1 space for every 200 square feet of floor area
3	1 space for every 300 square feet of floor area
4	1 space for every 400 square feet of floor area or 1 space for every 1.5 employees, whichever is larger
5	1 space for every 500 square feet of floor area or 1 space for every 1.5 employees, whichever is larger
