Computation of Off-Street Parking Spaces The table on the following pages contains the minimum parking requirements for specific uses. To clarify the computation of off-street parking spaces, the following standards shall apply:
A. Parking calculations shall be based on gross square footage of a building. Outdoor seating must also be included in parking calculations.
B. If a fractional number is obtained one parking space shall be required for that fraction.
C. If more than one use is located on a site, the number of off-street parking to be provided shall be equal to the sum of the requirements of each use.
D. Parking requirements for Short Term Rentals (STRs) see chapter 8-601-G and 8-607-B.
E. If the gross square footage of an existing nonresidential building is not altered but the use is changed then parking will need to be recalculated according to the International Building Code (IBC) and enforced.
F. If gross square footage of an existing nonresidential building is altered regardless of use, then the minimum parking requirements must be calculated.
G. In the event that off-street parking cannot be reasonably provided in accordance with the provisions of this title, a commercial property owner may be allowed to make a payment-in-lieu of providing parking spaces, according to the following conditions: 1. The Planning Commission must review all payment-in-lieu of parking requests. 2. The payment-in-lieu fee shall be established by resolution. 3. Payment-in-lieu of parking shall be permitted to provide no more than 30% of the parking spaces required by this chapter.
