No building permit nor parking lot construction or enlargement shall be <br />issued until a parking plan showing provisions for the required off-street parking, as <br />specified in this chapter, has been submitted and approved by the director. The plan shall <br />clearly indicate the proposed development, including parking lot location, size, shape, <br />design, number of spaces, curb cuts, lighting, and other features and appurtenances <br />required by this chapter. The parking plan shall show/state the number of parking spaces <br />and handicap spaces required and provided. <br />b. Surety. Before a building permit is issued for any building or structure for which this chapter <br />requires off-street parking and where such off-street parking is not to be contained within <br />the building for which the building permit is requested, the director may require that the <br />applicant provide the city with a surety bond or other sufficient security approved by the <br />city attorney guaranteeing to the city the installation and improvement of the required off- <br />street parking within a time not to exceed six months following the completion of the <br />building(s) for which such off-street parking is to be provided. <br />c.

Nonpublic areas include <br />but are not limited to building maintenance areas, storage areas, closets or restrooms. If <br />the formula for determining the number of off-street parking spaces results in a fraction, <br />the number of off-street parking spaces shall be rounded to the nearest whole number <br />with fractions of 0.50 or greater rounding up and fractions below 0.50 rounding down. <br /> <br /> <br />Table 17.11.039(4)(a)(i) Computation of required off-street parking spaces <br />Category of Land Use1 Minimum Parking Spaces <br />Required <br />RESIDENTIAL/LODGING
