§ 8176-3.7. Table of parking space requirements by land use.

The table below indicates the number of required off-street motor vehicle and bicycle parking spaces that shall be provided for various land uses. For residential and nonresidential land uses, the number of motor vehicle parking spaces set forth in the table below represents the minimum required number of spaces, unless a reduction to that requirement is granted pursuant to Section 8176-3.8.

The number of motor vehicle parking spaces required in this section is intended to address the needs of residents, employees and regular users of an establishment. The number is not intended to reflect the need for parking large delivery trucks, vans or buses, storage of vehicle inventory, or other specialty parking needs related to the operation of specific land uses.

The Planning Director has the authority to determine the parking space requirements for any land use not specifically listed based on the requirements for the most comparable land use. For such uses, the Planning Director or decision-making body must find that the required number of parking spaces is sufficient to avoid displacement of parking spaces utilized by off-site land uses or by the public for costal access. The required number of parking spaces is subject to the calculation procedures, including exceptions and allowances, specified in Section 8176-4.
