§ 40-877. Interpretations.

(a)

Fractions. Where a fractional space results during the calculation of required parking, the required number of parking spaces shall be construed to be the next highest whole number.

(b)

Parking space requirement not specified. Where the parking requirement for a particular use is not described in table 40.1 (section 40-876), and where no similar use is listed, the Planning Commission shall determine the number of spaces to be provided based on requirements for similar uses, location of the proposed use, the number of employees on the largest shift, total square footage, potential customer use, and other expected demand and traffic generated by the proposed use. At the discretion of a development applicant, a parking generation study prepared by a qualified professional may be submitted to aid the Planning Commission in making such a determination; if submitted, it shall be considered by the Planning Commission prior to making a determination.

(c)

Computations for multiple floor uses within a building. In cases where a building contains some combination of residential use, office space, retail or wholesale sales area, or bulk storage area, the Planning Commission may authorize that the building space be divided into such floor space use areas and separate computations of floor areas (e.g., warehousing, retail, or office) in determining the off-street parking or loading space requirements of this article.
