17.100.040 Number of parking spaces required.

A. Except as may be provided elsewhere in this title, there shall be provided at the time of erection of any building, or at the time any main building is enlarged or increased in capacity, minimum off-street parking space with adequate provisions for ingress and egress by standard-size automobiles. If any land, structure, or use is changed from one use to another which requires more off-street parking spaces, there shall be provided such additional off-street parking for the new use as is required by this chapter.

B. Specific Requirement for Each Land Use. Required off-street parking shall be provided for each use as listed below in Table 17.100.040-1. Requirements calculated on floor area shall be based upon gross floor area as defined in this title. Parking for uses not specifically listed below shall be provided in the same ratio as the use most nearly approximating the characteristics of the unlisted use, as determined by the Community Development Director or designee. Parking shall be provided as follows, with spaces based upon one or a combination of uses listed:
