In computing the number of parking and loading spaces required by this chapter, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the following rules.
(A) Strip centers and buildings containing mixed uses will require a minimum of one parking space for every 300 square feet of floor area. These sites will ultimately be evaluated based on actual uses. Parking calculations will be filed at the Building and Zoning Department and building permits will be issued after parking is determined adequate for the actual uses in the center.
(B) If, in computing the number of parking or loading spaces required by this section, the calculation results in the requirement of a fractional space, a fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded, while a fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one space.
(C) If, in computing the number of parking spaces required by this section, the gross floor area for a specific use is less than that identified in the calculation formula, the Building and Zoning Administrator shall divide the gross floor area by the area indicated in the calculation formula and multiply the result by the required number of spaces.
(1) Example 1: fast food restaurant - 99 person capacity with 12 employees
Refer to § 154.087 Commercial and Institutional
1 space per every 3-person capacity plus 1 space per every 3 employees
(99 ÷ 3) + (12 ÷ 3) = 37 spaces required
(2) Example 2: fast food restaurant - 297 person capacity with 27 employees
Refer to § 154.087 Commercial and Institutional
1 space per every 3 person capacity plus 1 space per every 3 employees
(297 ÷ 3) + (27 ÷ 3) = 108
(D) If, in reviewing the uses and zoning districts below, a particular use is not found, the Building and Zoning Administrator, at their discretion, may bring the use to the Planning Commission to determine the parking requirement.
(E) For the purpose of calculating parking requirements, vanpool, carpool, and car-sharing parking spaces shall not count against the maximum parking requirement.
