1When calculating need, a lower ratio of five-tenths per one thousand square feet of GFA can be justified when a covenant is attached to the property that limits the occupancy load to ninety-five percent of the parking stalls available. In addition, the SPRC may authorize a parking ratio up to five spaces per one thousand square feet of GFA if the need can be demonstrated.
2If retail space in a mixed-use development exceeds forty percent of the gross floor area of the development, the retail use parking requirements of this section apply to the entire space.
3Gross square feet does not include enclosed or covered areas used for off-street parking or loading, mechanical floor areas or covered public spaces.
4School and/or public facility parking spaces may be used provided the facilities are on the same or contiguous parcels within three hundred feet of the theater or auditorium.
5In manufactured home parks, the parking spaces in excess of one per manufactured home may be grouped in shared parking areas.
6For single-family residential development, a minimum of two parking spaces is required.
The following notes apply to all of the above uses:
•Minimum automobile spaces listed in the table are optional guidelines provided in LMC 16.72.030(D)(1)(c) (optional minimum guidelines). Minimum parking spaces for bike parking are mandatory.
•Parking ratios for mixed use development projects shall be determined by calculating the percentage of GFA by use multiplied by the appropriate parking ratio for each use plus a five percent parking reduction for two uses, ten percent parking reduction for three uses and fifteen percent parking reduction for four or more uses.
•Parking spaces provided as part of the above/below grade parking amenity identified in Table 14T-12 shall be exempt from all maximum parking requirements.
•All major employers or major worksites, as defined by RCW 70.94.524, shall designate at least five percent of auto spaces as carpool spaces. These spaces must be located as close to the main employee entrance as possible and shall be called out on the site plan.
•Where adjacent roads are designed for on-street parking and approved by the public works director, parking credit may be given for on-street parking.
