A. Size. All parking spaces may have a minimum size of nine by 18 feet, without causing a reduction in the maximum impervious coverage regulation. However, larger spaces are required to serve persons with disabilities in compliance with State regulations.
B. Number of Parking Spaces.
(1) One or more commercial uses within a major mixed use development shall provide off-street parking at a minimum rate of one space per 200 square feet of building floor area; provided, however, that the following shall apply:
(a) A movie theater or a stand-alone restaurant on its own lot shall provide a minimum of one parking space for every three customer seats.
(2) For multifamily dwellings, the minimum parking space requirements shall be one space for each one bedroom unit and 1.8 spaces for each unit of two or more bedrooms. For attached single-family and single-family semi-detached dwellings, the minimum parking space requirement shall be two parking spaces per dwelling unit, plus an average of 0.1 parking space per dwelling unit within that phase for visitor parking.
(3) The required number of parking spaces for other uses (such as a hotel or motel) shall be as provided in
§ 27-402: Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements of this Chapter and the accompanying Schedule II of this Chapter.
C. Shared Parking. The Board of Supervisors shall have the authority as a conditional use to approve a reduction of off-street parking space requirements if the applicant provides written evidence that proves to the satisfaction of the Supervisors that the uses will have different peak periods of parking demand that reduce the total need for parking.
(1) If such a reduction is approved, the Board shall have the authority to place reasonable conditions on any such approval, such as tying the reduction to the current mixture of uses and/or requiring a legal agreement among uses that commits them to share parking spaces during the life of the development.
