   In computing the number of parking and loading spaces required by this chapter, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the following rules.

   (A)   (1)   In computing the parking spaces required for a building or structure containing mixed uses, the Zoning Administrator shall calculate the required number of parking spaces for each use, and add the sums of those calculations in order to determine the total number of spaces required for the building.

      (2)   For example, a lodge with a dance hall would require parking spaces for each use.

   (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 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. For example, if a fast-food restaurant has a gross floor area of 800 square feet, the Zoning Administrator shall divide 800 by 1,000 and multiple the resulting 0.80 by 30, thereby requiring 24 parking spaces for this specific use.

   (D)   If, in reviewing the classifications below, a particular use is not found, the Zoning Administrator shall classify the use with other similar uses and calculate parking space requirements according to the provisions for that classification.

(Prior Code, § 20-1317) (Ord. 1699, passed 3-17-2014)
