Sec. 10-358. Angled Parking

The minimum size of angled parking spaces varies depending on the degree at which it is angled and the width of the drive aisle.

0	9-0"	22'-0"*	10,-0"
45	9'-0"	17'-8"	12'-8"
60	9'-0"	19'-0"	14'-6"

   b.   A document must be filed with the city showing that the operating schedules of the facilities involved do not conflict and the separate facilities will be required to provide enough additional parking spaces to meet the requirements of this code.

Sec. 10-360. Off-Street Parking Requirements

The minimum requirement for the number of off-street parking spaces required for every land use and building occupancy must be calculated by using parking requirements table in this division. Parking standards in this division have been grouped by use and in some instances by occupancy. Where a specific use is not listed by name on this table, the base standard for its use group will govern.

Off-street parking spaces must be provided by all uses in the amount specified in the parking plan. For most groups, the parking requirement is based on the square footage of the building occupied by the use. The gross floor area of the building is the measurement to be used in determining the square footage of a building for the purposes of calculating the parking requirement.

   a.   Where the calculation of the off-street parking requirement results in requiring a fractional space, any fraction less than 0.5 will be disregarded; any fraction of 0.5 or greater will require an additional space.

   b.   A minimum of four off-street parking spaces must be provided for any non-residential use except that of home occupations.
