Compliance with this Section is required in the case of any change in use or occupancy. Where the Zoning Administrator determines the minimum or maximum parking requirement, consideration shall be given to the expected number of public visiting the site, as well as the number of persons employed or residing on the site.<\/p>\n<p>(a) <u>Number of Employees <\/u>. Where number of employees is used to determine parking, it shall be based on the number of employees on the maximum working shift at the time the occupancy permit is requested. Parking requirements based on number of employees will not change unless new construction or expansion is proposed.<\/p>\n<p>(b) <u>Floor Area Calculation <\/u>. Floor area used to calculate parking and loading requirements is defined as the sum of the gross horizontal areas of the floors or parts of a building devoted to the use, measured from the exterior faces of the exterior walls or from the center line of walls separating two buildings. It does not include porches, garages, or space in a basement or cellar when used for storage or incidental uses.<\/p>\n<p>(c) <u>Bicycle Space Minimum <\/u>. A minimum number of two (2) bicycle spaces (the equivalent of one two-sided bike rack) is required for nonresidential uses.<\/p>\n<p>(d) <u>Computation <\/u>.

The provisions contained in Wis. Stat. \u00a7\u00a7 101.12, 346.503, and 346.56 and any related Wisconsin Administrative Code sections are hereby adopted by reference and made applicable to all parking facilities whenever constructed.<\/p>\n<p>(f) <u>Unspecified Uses <\/u>. Where buildings are constructed without uses specified, the use with the highest parking requirement among all uses specified for the zoning district where the site is located shall be used to calculate off-street parking requirements.<\/p>\n<p>(g) <u>Unlisted Uses <\/u>. For uses not listed in Table 28I-3, the Zoning Administrator also may consider the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Documentation regarding the actual parking and loading demand for the proposed use.<\/li>\n<li>Evidence in available planning and technical studies relating to the proposed use.<\/li>\n<li>Required parking and loading for the proposed use as determined by comparable jurisdictions.<\/li>\n<li>Examination of the parking and loading requirements for uses most similar to the proposed use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/library.municode.com\/wi\/madison\/codes\/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=COORMAWIVOIICH20--31_CH28ZOCOOR_SUBCHAPTER_28IGERE_28.141PALOST\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Table 28I-3.
