There <br />is an added section about other uses that may require additional parking: <br />At least four off-street parking spaces, plus two off-street parking spaces for each service stall. Those <br />facilities designed for sale of other items than strictly automotive products, parts or service shall be <br />required to provide additional parking in compliance with other applicable sections of this chapter <br /> <br />This has been simplified in the table as: <br />4 + 2/bay <br /> <br />10) Office building, animal hospital and professional office <br /> <br />The city’s current standard is quite high – 5.8/1000 compared to most other cities at 3.5 <br />to 5.0. The current standard is a follows <br />Three spaces, plus one space for each 175 square feet of floor area <br /> <br />I recommend a simpler standard based on floor area: <br />Four spaces for each 1,000 square feet <br /> <br />This has been simplified in the table as: <br />4/1000 <br /> <br />11) Restaurant, café, private club serving food and/or drinks, bar, tavern, nightclub <br /> <br />The city’s current standard is fairly typical and although complex, I recommend keeping it: <br /> <br />At least one space for each 40 square feet of gross floor area of dining and bar area or one parking <br />space per three seating spaces, whichever is greater and one space for each 80 square feet of <br />kitchen area or one space per employee, whichever is greater <br /> <br />This has been simplified in the table as: <br />25/k dining & bar or 1/3 seats; 12.5/k kitchen; or 1/empl <br /> <br />12) Retail sales and service business with 50% or more of gross floor area devoted to storage, warehouses <br />and/or industry <br /> <br />Mounds View separates out this use for businesses that have significant storage area, <br />which is somewhat unique but I recommend keeping it as is: <br />At least eight spaces or one space for each 100 square feet devoted to public sales or service, plus <br />one space for each 500 square feet of storage area; or at least eight spaces or one space for each <br />employee on the minimum shift, whichever is appropriate
