19.64.030 Computation of required parking spaces

1. Off-street parking areas must contain at a minimum the number of parking spaces as stipulated in AMC 19.64.040, except for modifications allowed elsewhere in this chapter.

2. If the formula for determining the number of off-street parking spaces results in a fraction, the number of off-street parking spaces must be rounded to the nearest whole number with fractions of one-half or greater rounding up and fractions below one-half rounding down.

3. In the case of two or more uses on the same site, the total requirements for off-street parking must be the sum of the requirements for each use computed separately, except as permitted in AMC 19.64.080 pertaining to shared parking.

1. Guest parking is required for all residential developments in accordance with this subsection. Guest parking provided is above and beyond the minimum quantitative requirements elsewhere in this chapter.

a. On-street parking areas within or directly adjacent to the subdivision or other development may be used to meet guest parking requirements, provided such areas are not already used for the purpose of meeting minimum parking requirements. One parking space is equivalent to 20 lineal feet of parallel on-street parking area.

b. Other off-street parking spaces within the subdivision/development that are above and beyond standard minimum parking requirements for the development may be used for guest parking.

c. Guest parking spaces must be available to guests of any residential unit in the development at all hours.
