Table 1, included in this section, contains the requirements for the minimum amount of off-street parking required for specific uses of land. In the case of any building, structure or premises, the use of which is not specifically mentioned herein, the provisions for a similar use which is mentioned, as determined by the Director of Development Services or designee shall apply.

More than one use. When any lot or combination of lots is used for more than one type of use as described in Table 1, included in this section, off-street parking spaces and areas shall be provided according to the sum of the standards for all various uses, except where appropriate for joint-use consideration as described in Section 17.60.080.

Fractions. When the computations for off-street parking spaces result in a fraction, the next highest integer shall apply, and off-street parking spaces shall be provided in a number equal to such integer.

Within the general business district (B zone), the minimum parking requirements of this section may be satisfied in any one, or combination thereof, of the following ways:

Off-street parking within the subject property boundaries to meet the requirements of Section 17.60.140 of this chapter;

Shared parking (joint use of parking spaces) within the subject property boundaries pursuant to the requirements of Section 17.60.080 of this chapter;

Off-site parking, provided that the location of the off-site parking area is within a one-block radius of the property, and providing that a written agreement between the owner of the off-site parking facility property and the owner of the subject property is executed and presented to the Town prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any use within the subject property.

The appropriate combination of parking types for a particular development or use will be determined by the Director of Development Services or designee, whose decision shall be final.
