For the purpose of computing the 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, each allocated parking space shall be
at least 20 feet long and 10 feet wide, exclusive of access or maneuvering
area.
Gross floor area shall include the sum of all square footage located
on each floor; provided, however, that basement or cellar floor area not used
for processing, servicing or sales of goods or merchandise shall not be counted
as a 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
lineal 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.
