How is the amount of required off-street parking is determined?
A. The number of spaces are determined by the use of the property. Each type of use requires a certain parking ration, normally expressed in terms of number of spaces per number of square feet of building floor area. ie: General retail requires 1 parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. Even residential uses require parking, ie: residential units require 2 parking spaces for the first 3 bedrooms + 1 for each bedroom over 3 bedrooms. The parking regulations can be found in Division 11 of Article 10 of the Town Code.
