(1) Accessory off-street parking facilities required as accessory to uses listed herein, shall be solely for the parking of passenger automobiles of patrons, occupants, or employees. When bus transportation is provided, for patrons, occupants, or employees of a specific establishment, additional open or enclosed off street parking spaces for each bus to be parked on the premises shall be provided in accordance with regulations herein for access, in yards, design and maintenance and area applicable to accommodating such buses.
(2) When the application of the off-street parking regulations specified hereafter results in a requirement of not more than three spaces on a single lot in any commercial district, such parking spaces need not be provided. However, where two or more uses are located on a single lot, only one of these uses shall be eligible for the above exemption. This exemption shall not apply to dwelling units.
(3) In the case of a premises not specifically covered in Table 154-188-1: Required Number of Parking Spaces by Use, such a premises shall be subject to the regulations of the premises to which it is most related or similar, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. The amount of parking required shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, as part of the building permit approval process.
(4) In the case of mixed uses or businesses with multiple components, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately.
(5) In the cases of uses where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking spaces, such floor area shall mean gross floor area measured to the outside walls, but shall not include such floor area as may be used for parking facilities within the principal building.
(6) When units of measurement determining the number of required parking spaces result in requirements of a fractional space, any fraction shall require one parking space.
(7) (a) In stadiums, sports arenas, churches, and other places of assembly in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews, and other similar seating facilities, each 22 inches of such seating facilities shall be counted as one seat for the purpose of determining the off-street parking requirements.
(b) In places that have both fixed seats and open assembly area, requirements shall be computed separately for each type and added together.
(8) The number of off-street parking spaces required for multiple family dwellings shall be based on calculations for cumulative bedroom area per dwelling unit as defined in § 154.009.
(9) Floor area calculations shall include area devoted to outdoor table service for patrons of the establishment.
(10) In the CB District, parking shall be required for apartment units for which a building permit is issued after the effective date of this chapter, located in a structure existing before the effective date of this chapter. Parking for any residential use in a new structure built since the effective date of this chapter shall be provided on the same property as the residential unit. Parking for all other uses shall not be required.
(B) Collective parking provision. The required total of off-street parking spaces for two or more businesses or industrial uses collectively providing parking spaces, shall meet the following requirements:
(1) The number of parking spaces shall equal a minimum of 85% of the sum of the required number of parking spaces as computed in division (B)(2) below.
(2) The number of parking spaces shall not be less than the largest amount required for any of the uses computed separately.
(3) In the case of collective usage involving dwelling units, there shall be no reduction in the requirements of this subchapter.
(C) Exemptions or reductions from required number of parking spaces.
(1) Non-residential uses located in the CB District shall not be required to provide off-street spaces.
(2) Off-street parking facilities required for theaters and churches may be reduced or omitted provided that such uses are within 600 feet of a parking lot serving a business or industrial use which would make parking available during the peak hours of operation of the church or theater.
(3) In the case of dwelling units erected as housing for the elderly, the required off-street parking spaces for such dwelling units may be reduced to one space for every four dwelling units.
