B.
Interpretation Of Specific Requirements.
1.
The parking requirements in this Article do not limit other parking
requirements contained in the district regulations.
2.
The parking requirements in this Article do not limit special requirements
which may be imposed with planned unit developments or uses permitted
by approval of a special use.
3.
Where fractional spaces result, the parking spaces required shall
be construed to be the next highest whole number.
4.
Except as otherwise provided, the number of employees shall be compiled
on the basis of the maximum number of persons employed on the premises
at one (1) time on an average day or average night, whichever is greater.
Seasonal variations in employment may be recognized in determining
an average day.
5.
The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed
in the chart shall be the same as for a listed use of similar characteristics
of parking demand generation.
6.
Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective
date of this Chapter is changed or enlarged in floor area, number
of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity, or otherwise
to create a need for an increase of ten percent (10%) or more in the
number of parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis
of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing
prior to the effective date of this Chapter is enlarged to the extent
of fifty percent (50%) or more in floor area or in the area used,
said building or use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking
requirements of the district in which it is located.
C.
Location Of Parking Spaces In The "H" Historic District. Within the "H" Historic District, the required parking may be located
anywhere within the district or adjacent to the district. Two (2)
or more uses or establishments within the district may set aside a
parking lot for joint use, provided the parking spaces equal the total
required for each of the uses, and provided that maintenance and control
of such lot is arranged in a manner approved by the City.
D.
Design Standards.
1.
Minimum Space Area. For the purpose of these
regulations, and except as hereinafter provided for in the "H" Historic
District, an off-street parking space is an all-weather surfaced area,
either asphalt, concrete or other material approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission, but not rock or macadam, not in a street or
alley, and, for angled and perpendicular parking spaces, having an
area of not less than nine (9) feet in width and twenty (20) feet
in length (exclusive of driveways), and, for parallel parking, having
an area of not less than nine (9) feet in width as measured perpendicular
to the travel lane, nor less than twenty-four (24) feet in length
as measured parallel to the travel lane, all permanently reserved
for the temporary storage of one (1) vehicle and connected with a
street or alley by a paved driveway which affords ingress and egress
for an automobile without requiring another automobile to be moved.
Within the Historic District, cobblestones, bricks or other similar
materials may be utilized as the surfaced area.
[Ord. No. 16-2148 §1, 5-16-2016]

shall be drained to eliminate standing water and prevent damage to
abutting property and/or public streets and alleys and surfaced with
erosion-resistant material in accordance with applicable City specifications.
Off-street parking areas shall be maintained in a clean, orderly and
dust-free condition at the expense of the owner or lessee and not
used for the sale, repair or dismantling or servicing of any vehicles,
equipment, materials or supplies.

diameter not less than three (3) inches. Only hard maple, ash, oak
and sweet gum trees shall qualify as trees acceptable for compliance

B.
Interpretation Of Specific Requirements.
1.
The loading space requirements in this Article do not limit special
requirements which may be imposed in connection with uses permitted
by approval of a special use permit.
2.
Under the provisions of Article XVI, the Planning and Zoning Commission may reduce the loading space requirements whenever the character of the use is such as to make unnecessary the full provision of loading facilities or where provision is made for community loading facilities or where provision of loading space requirements is impractical under certain conditions for uses which contain less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet of floor area.
C.
Design Standards.
1.
Minimum size. For the purpose of these regulations,
a loading space is a space within the main building or on the same
lot, providing for the standing, loading or unloading of trucks, having
a minimum area of five hundred forty (540) square feet, minimum width
of twelve (12) feet, a minimum depth of thirty-five (35) feet, and
a vertical clearance of at least fifteen (15) feet.
2.
Drainage and maintenance. Off-street loading facilities
shall be drained to eliminate standing water and prevent damage to
abutting property and/or public streets and alleys and surfaced with
erosion-resistant material in accordance with applicable City specifications.
Off-street loading areas shall be maintained in a clean, orderly and
dust-free condition at the expense of the owner or lessee and not
used for the sale, repair, dismantling, or servicing of any vehicles,
equipment, materials or supplies.
