finding that it is appropriate for the site and structure and does not result in any
interference with other vehicular or pedestrian movements.
B. Required parking and loading table. The following table establishes the minimum number
of parking and loading spaces for each proposed or existing land use based upon parking
groups. Parking groups are collections of land uses that are considered by the Town to have

§230-21(D) CLAY CODE § 230-21 (E)
D. Calculation of parking and loading requirements.
(1) Type of parking spaces^ The following table is the basis for determining only the
number of employee and customer parking spaces.
(2) Site plan/special permit review required. The following types of spaces are excluded
from this table: vehicle service, storage, display, queuing or for vehicles owned,
operated or othenrt/ise directly related to the land use (e.g., service or delivery vehicles,
buses or vans). Adequate space for these vehicles shall be separately provided on the
site, identified in the graphic plan(s) submitted to the Town and evaluated during the
site plan review or special permit review, as required by the respective zone district.
(3) Reserve spaces. Upon approval during either site plan or special permit reviews, a
percentage of the required parking or loading spaces may be set aside for future
installation. These spaces shall be maintained as potentially usable spaces, but, until
needed, shall be landscaped, treated and maintained per the requirements of the
reviewing board. The reserve spaces shall be cleariy shown on any graphic plans
approved by the Town. Unless otherwise prohibited by the Town, the owner-occupant
may prepare these reserve spaces for vehicular use per the approved plan, without
additional site plan or special permit review. The Town may require the owner-
occupant to prepare the reserve spaces for vehicular use upon a finding by the
reviewing board that the reserve spaces are needed.
(4) Shared/Off-site parking. All parking and loading spaces shall be maintained entirely
within the same lot as the land use(s), unless specifically allowed by the reviewing
board. The reviewing board may, during site plan or special permit review, allow the
required parking spaces to be maintained on any lot within 500 feet of the primary land
use if it determines that it is impractical to provide parking on the same lot with the
building by the issuance ofa special permit
(5) Parkinq ratios. The table sets forth a minimum number of spaces required per
selected characteristics of land use. Square footage is used for most of the land uses
and is based on the gross or entire floor area of a building or structure, as measured
along the exterior walls.
(6) Fractional results. A parking or loading space calculation resulting in fraction of a
space shall be rounded to the closest whole number, except that no loading space
shall be required for land uses that yield a calculated loading space that is less than
one space.
E. Required parking and loading spaces. The following parking and loading spaces shall be
provided and satisfactorily maintained by the owner-occupant of the property for each land
use on the property.
