The total number of required loading and bicycle spaces is based on the requirements for the use of the lot. However, if a lot contains more than 1 use, the number of required spaces is the sum of the separate requirements for each use. All required facilities must be completed before occupancy of the structure. In computing the number of loading or bicycle spaces required by this title, the following standards of computation apply. A fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded, and a fraction of one-half or more is counted as 1 loading space. In places of assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or similar seating facilities, each 24 inches of the seating facility is counted as 1 seat for the purpose of determining the requirement for off-street loading and bicycle spaces. Floor area of a prayer hall is counted as one 1 seat per marked prayer mat space or, if prayer mat spaces are not marked, 1 seat for every 5 square feet in the prayer hall. Except as otherwise specified, loading or bicycle spaces required on an employee basis is based on the maximum number of employees normally present on the premises at any one time. If the determination of the number of parking spaces is based on the number of employees, the owner and the manager are each counted as an employee. Ord. 16-581
