(B)    In RM, SF-RMP and PDD zones, one guest parking space shall be provided for each five dwelling units. Available curb parking along the property’s street frontage may be credited toward the required guest parking where found appropriate and as part of the design review or variance procedure.

    Off-street parking spaces shall be provided according to the following schedule, and where a parcel includes two or more uses, the parking requirements shall be the aggregate of the requirement for the various uses. Fractional numbers shall be rounded up to the next highest value:

   (A)   (1)   Dwellings, including one-family and two-family dwellings, apartments and mobile homes:

         (a)   Studio units without separate bedrooms or tiny houses: one space.

         (b)   One-bedroom units: 1.5 spaces (except for single family detached homes which shall require two spaces).

   (O)   Public or governmental uses: three spaces for the first 500 square feet of gross floor area and one space for each additional 500 square feet thereafter. The Town Council may grant exceptions to this standard. Existing town owned facilities and properties are exempt from this standard.

   (P)   Short-term rentals (STR's).

      (1)   Short-term rentals must provide one additional parking space for every one to four guests, on-site, in addition to the required parking for the existing residential use.

      (2)   If a short-term rental use meets all other requirements of the zoning ordinance, the applicant may apply for a waiver from the parking requirement, according to the following:

         (a)   Apply under the procedures in §§ 17.044.090 and 17.044.100.

         (b)   The waiver may be approved by the Director if it can be demonstrated that the lack of parking will not result in undue hardship on adjacent properties and if one or more of the following conditions exist and the findings in § 17.044.100 can be met:

            1.   Parking is available on site, but it does not meet the standard size or configuration requirements specified in the code.

            2.   On-street or off-site parking is readily available within 300 feet of the site.

            3.   The applicant demonstrates that the unique characteristic of the short-term rental use does not necessitate additional parking.

            4.   Providing additional parking has a negative environmental impact on the site (e.g. requiring removal a significant tree, requireing significant excavation, etc.).

         (c)   Upon approval of a waiver, notification to the applicant and property owners within 300 feet shall be provided with a notification of appeal rights under Chapter 17.036.
