For any other use not specifically mentioned or provided for in this Section, the zoning administrator shall determine the standards to be applied for parking, using as a guide the listed use which most closely resembles the use proposed or other recognized standard.
2. The zoning administrator may authorize a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces for two or more uses jointly providing off- street parking when their respective hours of peak operation do not overlap. Shared parking shall be subject to the following conditions:
1. The following procedure shall determine the number of shared spaces for two or more distinguishable land uses:
1. Multiply the minimum parking required for each individual use, as set forth in Table 6.1 by the appropriate percentage indicated in Table 6.2, Shared Parking Calculations, for each of the six designated time periods.
2. Add the resulting sums for each of the six columns.
3. The minimum-parking requirement shall be the highest sum among the six columns resulting from the above calculations.
4. Select the time period with the highest total parking requirement and use that total as the shared parking requirement.
2. Other uses. If one or all of the land uses proposing to make use of shared parking facilities do not conform to the general land use classifications in Table 6.2, Shared Parking Calculations, as determined by the zoning administrator, then the applicant shall submit sufficient data to indicate the principal operating hours of the uses. Based upon this information,
the zoning administrator shall determine the appropriate shared parking requirement, if any, for such uses.
3. The maximum number of off-street parking spaces for any building or use shall not exceed the amount determined as follows:
1. Parking lots of more than 20 and less than 51 spaced: parking lots may not have more than 120% of the number of spaces identified in Table 6.1, not including accessible spaces, unless a minimum of 20 % of the parking area is landscaped in accordance with the standards of this chapter.
