Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation
many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each
page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column
reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up -to -date
volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has
been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the
identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up -to -date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

ZONING § 45 -34.1
establishments, provided they are
fully enclosed and provided such uses
shall not include adult entertain-
ment establishments.
(2) Off - street parking. All proposed land uses
shall provide a sufficient number of park-
ing spaces to accommodate the number of
vehicles that can be expected to be at-
tracted to that use. Individual land uses
can provide at least the number of spaces
listed below on the same parcel of land as
the principal building (or on an adjoining
parcel under identical ownership) in lieu
of using the parking space standards found
elsewhere in this Code. However, certain
land uses may require less parking; and
combinations of land uses may be able to
reduce the total number of spaces by
sharing those spaces during differing peak
hours or because of pedestrian traffic or
multi - purpose trips. Modified standards
may be approved if fewer spaces will
accommodate the number of vehicles that
can be expected to be attracted to that use
(or combination of uses) at the proposed
location. Such a modification may be made
on individual parcels of land (or adjoining
parcels under identical ownership) by the
building official when permitted by con-
sensus national codes or standards or
after submission of persuasive technical
evidence (such as publications of the In-
stitute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)).
Modifications that involve shared parking
on parcels of land that are not under
identical ownership, or parking in a dif-
ferent municipality than the principal
building regardless of ownership, may be
approved through the special C -3 PUD
procedures found below in section 45-
34.1(10).
a. Auditoriums of any kind — 1 space
per 3 seats.
b. Banks and other financial institu-
tions — 3 spaces per 1,000 square
feet.
C. Hotels and motels — 1 space per
guest room plus 1 space per 2 em-
ployees during the peak period; park-

ing for restaurants and other guest
facilities to be calculated separately.
d. Offices, medical/dental — 5 spaces
per 1,000 square feet.
e. Offices, all other — 3 spaces per
1,000 square feet.
f. Residential — 2 spaces per dwelling
unit.
g. Restaurants and nightclubs — 12
spaces per 1,000 square feet, except
6 spaces per 1000 square feet for
restaurants offering take -out ser-
vice.
h. Retail uses and personal services —
4 spaces per 1,000 square feet, ex-
cept 1.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet
for furniture sales.
