(A) Generally. For the purpose of determining off-street parking requirements, the following units of measurement shall apply.
(B) Specifically.
(1) Floor area. In the case where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking spaces, the unit shall mean the gross floor area, except that the floor area need not include any area used for parking within the principal building and need not include any area used for incidental service storage, installations of mechanical equipment, penthouse housing ventilators and heating systems, and similar uses.
(2) Places of assembly.
(a) In stadiums, sports arenas, churches, and other places of assembly in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities, each 18 inches of the seating facilities shall be counted as 1 seat.
(b) In cases where a place of assembly has both fixed seats and open assembly area, requirements shall be computed separately for each type and added together.
(3) Fractions. When units of measurement determining the number of required parking spaces result in requirement of a fractional space, any fraction up to and including ½ shall be disregarded and fractions over ½ shall require 1 parking space.
