§ 74-390. Supplemental regulations.

(a)

In computing the number of such parking spaces required, the following rules shall govern:

(1)

The term "floor area" means the gross area of the specific use.

(2)

Where fractional spaces results, the parking spaces required shall be construed to be the nearest whole number.

(3)

The parking space requirement for a use not specifically mentioned herein shall be the same as required for use of similar nature.

(b)

The off-street parking facilities required for the uses mentioned in this Chapter, and for other similar uses, shall be on the same lot or parcel of land as the structure they are intended to serve, but in case of nonresidential uses when practical difficulties prevent their establishment upon the same lot, the required parking facilities shall be provided within 300 feet of the premises to which they are appurtenant.

(c)

No part of an off-street parking area required for any building or used for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this Chapter shall be included as part of an off-street parking area similarly required for another building or use, unless the type of structure indicates that the periods of such structure will not be simultaneous with each other.

(d)

Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prevent the joint use of off-street parking for two or more buildings or uses if the total of such spaces, when used together, shall not be less than the sum of the requirement for the various individual uses computed separately in accordance with this Section.

(e)

Whenever off-street parking facilities required pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter are established, which facilities abut the side or rear lines of a lot in a residential district, such off-street parking facilities shall be effectively screened on such sides by a solid uniformly painted fence or wall not less than four nor more than six feet in height, maintained in good condition; provided, however, that where the adjacent owners agree, in writing, a screening of hedge or other natural landscaping may be substituted for the required fence or wall.

(f)

Handicapped space shall be installed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
