In computing the number of such parking spaces required the following rules shall govern:

"Floor area" means the floor space within the outside line of walls and includes the total of all floors of a building. It does not include porches, garages, or space in a basement or cellar when such basement or cellar space is used for storage or incidental uses;

Where fractional spaces result, the parking spaces required shall be construed to be the nearest whole number;

The parking space requirement for a use not specifically mentioned in this chapter shall be the same as required for a use of similar nature as determined by the plan commission;

(4)

Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity or otherwise, to create a need for an increase of ten percent or more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title is enlarged to the extent of fifty percent or more in floor area or in the area used, the building or use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth in this chapter;

(5)

In the case of simultaneous mixed or joint uses, the parking spaces required shall equal the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately.

All parking spaces required in this chapter shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served, except that where an increase in the number of spaces is required by a change or enlargement of use or where such spaces are provided collectively or used jointly by two or more buildings or establishments, the required spaces may be located and maintained not to exceed three hundred feet from an institutional or other nonresidential building served.

(1)

Up to fifty percent of the parking spaces required for (A) theaters, public auditoriums, bowling alleys, dancehalls, nightclubs or cafes, and up to one hundred percent of the parking spaces required for a church or school auditorium may be provided and used jointly by (B) banks, offices, retail stores, repair shops, service establishments and similar uses not normally open, used or operated during the same hours as those listed in (A); provided, however, that written agreement thereto is properly executed and filed as specified in this section;

(2)

In any case where the required parking spaces are not located on the same lot with the building or use served, or where such spaces are collectively or jointly provided and used, a written agreement thereby assuring their retention for such purposes shall be properly drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved as to form and execution by the city attorney and shall be filed with the application for a building permit;

(3)

Off-street parking space may be located within the required front yard of any C or M district, but no off-street parking shall be permitted in the required front yard of any R district except upon a driveway providing access to a garage, carport or parking area for a dwelling.
