[1] See Section

s 5.10.5, General Standards for Off-Street Vehicle Parking and Loading Areas,

Sectio

n 5.10.6, Off-Street Parking Arrangement and Design,

and Section

5.10.8, Off-Street Bicycle Parking Arrangement and Design,

for applicable design standards.

[2] When computation of the number of required parking spaces results in a fraction, the result shall be rounded upward to the next highest whole

number.

[3] Except as otherwise provided in this section, where the minimum off-street parking space requirement is based on square feet of floor area, all

computations shall be based on gross floor area.

[4] Except as otherwise provided in this section, where the minimum off-street parking space requirement is based on the number of seats, all

computations shall be based on the design capacity of the areas used for seating.

[5] Except as otherwise provided in this section, where the minimum off-street parking space requirement is based on the maximum occupancy

capacity, all computations shall be based on the occupant load of the building or facility as established in accordance with the Building Code.

[6] Except as otherwise provided in this section, where the minimum off-street parking space requirement is based on the number of employees,

students, or residents, all computations shall be based on the largest number of persons working on any single shift (for employees), or the maximum

enrollment (for students), or the fire-rated capacity (for residents), as appropriate.

[7] Off-street parking spaces may be provided on the lot containing the individual dwelling unit or within common parking areas, provided such off-

lot spaces serving the resident or guest parking needs are located within convenient walking distance of the dwelling.

Uses with Variable Vehicle Parking Demand Characteristics and Unlisted Uses

For some listed uses, Tabl

e 5.10.3.A, Minimum Number of Off-Street Vehicle and Bicycle Parking Spaces,

refers to this subsection because the use has widely varying vehicle parking and loading demand

characteristics, making it difficult to establish a single appropriate off-street vehicle parking or loading

standard. On receiving an application proposing such a use, or proposing a use not expressly listed in

Tabl

e 5.10.3.A,

the Planning Director is authorized to:

Apply the minimum off-street parking space requirement specified in Table

5.10.3.A

for the listed

use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use; or
