19.62.050 Number of spaces required for designated uses.
In the case of any building, structure or premises, the use of which is not specifically mentioned herein, or in the opinion of the approving authority is not similar to any use found herein, the approving authority may apply a ratio based on a similar existing use found herein. In computing parking requirements, a resultant fractional space of one-half shall count as a full space.
The number of off-street parking spaces required shall be as set forth in the following:
Businesses or Use and Number of Spaces Required.
1. Auctions (See CVMC 19.04.002 and 19.58.055):
At the time of application for a conditional use permit, the applicant shall submit parking information justifying the amount of parking proposed to be provided and the parking ratio. The information must consist of data upon which the approving authority can reasonably base a determination of adequacy, such as expected patronage or a comparison with the patronage of similar uses. Said parking ratio shall range from one space for each 50 square feet of net usable lot area to one space for each 4,000 square feet of net usable lot area.
Note: For purposes of this subsection, “net usable lot area” means the area of the parcel exclusive of setbacks, slopes, easements, required right-of-way dedications or other constraints which would preclude use of the land. If complaints are filed with the City regarding impacts related to off-site parking, the project shall be modified to add additional parking for employees and customers, and/or by reducing the auction and/or storage area, subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Director and City Engineer. Failure to resolve such off-site public parking problems by the owner of the property constitutes grounds for revocation of the conditional use permit.
