14-18-104 CALCULATING PARKING REQUIREMENTS

A. Whenever parking requirements are based on square footages, calculations shall be based on the gross square footage of the structure. B. When a structure or parcel contains multiple uses, more than one (1) parking standard may apply. C. Available on-street parking spaces shall not be used to meet the requirements of this Title, unless specifically permitted and regulated by the zone in which the property is located. And no development plan shall be based on the assumption that excess vehicles can be parked on a public street, unless specifically permitted and regulated by the zone in which the property is located. D. When parking regulations are based on the number of employees, parking calculations shall use the largest number of employees who work on any one (1) shift. Where shift changes may cause substantial overcrowding of parking facilities, the approving authority may require additional spaces as needed in order to accommodate the overlap period or peak parking period. E. When parking use intensities vary during the course of a day because of mixed uses or staggered operational shifts, the approving authority may permit reduced parking standards based upon accepted professional standards. The approving authority may also require a shared parking analysis performed by a traffic engineer.
