For the purpose of computing gross parking area
for required off-street parking, 350 square feet of unobstructed net
standing, maneuvering or access area shall be considered as one parking
space. However, a lesser area may be considered as one parking space
if the Code Enforcement Officer certifies that the layout and design
of the parking area are adequate to permit convenient access and maneuvering.
In any event, the size of a parking space shall be at least 20 feet
long and nine feet wide exclusive of access or maneuvering area.
Gross floor area shall include all areas of
a building; provided, however, that basement or cellar floor area
not used for processing, servicing or sales of goods or merchandise
shall not be counted as gross floor area.
In places of assembly, other than churches,
where bench-type seats are provided or where standing patrons are
served at a counter or bar, each 20 linear inches of such seating
or standing space shall be considered as one seat for the purpose
of determining off-street parking requirements.
In any case where there is more than one work
shift, the total number of employees used to compute off-street parking
requirements shall include the maximum number of employees on two
shifts.
When application of the units of measurement
to determine required off-street parking spaces results in a fractional
parking space of 1/2 or more, one parking space shall be required.
