20.127.010 Table of off-street parking standards.

How to Use Table of Off-Street Parking Standards:

1. Calculate the gross floor area for the structure. (See Section 20.126.050 to determine gross floor area.)

2. Determine the amount of gross floor area used for storage rooms.

3. Required off-street parking for storage rooms is one space per 500 square feet.

4. Find the proposed use in the Table of Off-street Parking Standards to determine the off-street parking requirement for the rest of the structure.

Example:

– The gross floor area of the structure is 3,000 sq. ft.

– 1,000 sq. ft. of the structure is used for storage. The parking standard for storage rooms in one space per 500 sq. ft. (20.126.060).

1,000/500 = 2 off-street parking spaces for the storage area.

– The proposed use is a shoe shop. According to the Table of Off-street Parking Standards, shoe shops require one off-street parking space for each 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area.

2,000/300 = 6.6 or seven spaces since fractions of parking spaces are rounded up.

– The total required off-street parking for this use is:

      2 spaces (for storage area)

+ 7 spaces (for the rest of the gross floor area)

      9 spaces
