must be used to calculate the required off-street parking spaces when parking is
shared. The number of off-street parking spaces that must be provided for the
development is the largest number of spaces required under any of the five
time-of-day columns.
For example, in the morning, a development with residential and office uses
must provide 80 percent of the off-street parking that would normally be
required for the residential uses and 100 percent of the off-street parking that
would normally be required for the office uses. Likewise, in the afternoon, that
development must provide 60 percent of the off-street parking that would
normally be required for the residential uses and 100 percent of the off-street
parking that would normally be required for the office uses. A similar
calculation must be performed for each time of day. If the number of
spaces required in the morning is greater than the number of spaces required
during any other time of day, then the number of spaces required in the morning
must be provided. Likewise, if the number of spaces required in the late
afternoon is greater than the number of spaces required during the any
other time of day, then the number of spaces required in the late afternoon must
be provided.
