17.11.039(4)(a)(ii) Footnotes Associated with Table <br />1. In those situations where a particular use is not specifically mentioned in this table, <br />the requirements for off-street parking shall be determined by the director and in <br />accordance with the most comparable use listed. <br />a. Shell Building Permit Applications. When the county has received a shell <br />building permit application, off-street parking requirements shall be based on <br />the possible tenant improvements or uses authorized by the zone designation <br />and compatible with the limitations of the shell permit. When the range of <br />possible uses results in different parking requirements, the director shall <br />establish the amount of parking based on a likely range of uses. For example, an <br />applicant submits a permit for a 5,000-square-foot shell building in the C-H <br />zone. The zone allows for a range of retail, personal, and general service retail <br />uses. Most permitted uses in this zone fall in the category of general retail and <br />service uses in Table 17.11.039(4)(a)(i) which requires one space per 300 square <br />feet of gross floor area. Restaurants require more parking (one space per 200 <br />square feet of gross floor area). While the director might find it unreasonable to <br />require parking for the "worst case scenario" in terms of possible use types, he <br />or she will typically choose a requirement that falls between the possible use <br />scenarios. In this case, the odds are that most possible uses fall in the general <br />retail and service use category with a lower parking requirement, though a <br />slightly higher parking requirement would make sense given the possibility of a <br />use such as a restaurant, which requires greater parking. Thus, a compromise <br />standard, requiring a minimum of one space per 275 square feet of gross floor <br />area, would be reasonable in this instance. <br />b. Other Provisions of Code. Where other provisions of this code stipulate reduced <br />minimum parking requirements, those provisions shall apply. <br />c. Bicycle Parking. Multifamily and nonresidential developments shall provide for <br />bicycle parking per the standards below: <br />i. Amount of Bicycle Parking. <br />Computation of required off-street bicycle parking spaces. <br />
