Notes:

1. For hotels, motels, inns or dormitories in a Retail Business (BR) District, the ratio of spaces may be reduced by a special permit but to not less than one space per four rooms.

2. Such a use may, by special permit, be allowed to reduce this ratio to the extent that the zoning board of appeals finds that compensatory spaces within 3,000 feet of the entrance to this use will generally be available at the times this use is in operation, but not to less than one parking space per 12 seats or one parking space per 400 square feet of usable gross floor area.

3. Except that in a Retail Business (BR) District the first 5,000 square feet of usable gross floor area in nonresidential use (except as otherwise specified) shall be exempt from the requirement.

4. Parking spaces in this case need not be stalls but may be waiting spaces in driveway.

5. Where any computation results in a fractional number, the fraction shall be counted as one space.
