periods.

Add the resulting sums for
each of the six columns.
(iii) The minimum-parking
requirement shall be the highest sum among the
six columns resulting from the above calculations.
(iv) Select the time period
with the highest total parking requirement and use
that total as the shared parking requirement.
(b) 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,
