§ 88-420-07. CALCULATIONS
The following rules apply when calculating the number of parking spaces required:
88-420-07-A. MULTIPLE USES
Unless otherwise expressly stated, lots containing more than one principal use must provide parking in an amount equal to the total (cumulative) requirements for all principal uses.
88-420-07-B. AREA-BASED STANDARDS
Unless otherwise expressly stated, all area-based (square footage) parking standards must be computed on the basis of gross floor area, which is to be determined by the outside dimensions of the building, less any area within the building devoted to parking. The city planning and development director is authorized to determine the floor area measurement of uses not located within buildings, based on the nature of the use, the expected duration of use and the amount of customer and employee-related vehicle traffic expected to be generated by the outdoor area.
88-420-07-C. EMPLOYEE- OR OCCUPANCY-BASED STANDARDS
1.
For the purpose of calculating parking requirements based on employees, students, or other occupants, calculations are to be based on the total persons and employees present or on duty at any one time when the maximum functional use of the building or land is being made.
2.
The number of persons in assembly areas with fixed seating or a designed functional seating capacity is to be based on maximum functional seating capacity.
3.
The number of persons in assembly areas without fixed seating or without a designed functional seating capacity is to be based on the total net floor area actually used for public assembly, divided by 15.
4.
If more than one assembly area within a building is used simultaneously by different adult persons, then the capacity of all such assembly areas must be computed.
5.
If several assembly areas within a building are not used simultaneously but are used by the same group of persons separately at different times, then the computation is to include only the assembly area comprising the maximum simultaneous occupancy.
