eMUM <br />'0 .0• ^C NOWC <br />:,.:. <br />Section 11. Section 41-1309 (interpretation of parking standards) of Chapter 41 <br />of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: <br />Sec. 41-1309, Interpretation of Standards. <br />In interpreting the parking standards set forth in this article, the following rules <br />shall govern: <br />(1) Wherever required off-street parking is based upon gross floor area, the <br />number of required spaces shall be determined by applying the appropriate <br />mathematical ratio. If the product is not a whole number, the number of <br />required spaces shall be the next lower natural number if the decimal <br />fraction is less than five -tenths (0.5) or the next higher natural number if the <br />decimal fraction is five -tenths (0.5) or more. Wherever required off-street <br />parking is based upon some other factor, the number of required spaces <br />shall be determined by the same arithmetical process. <br />(2) Wherever two (2) or more uses identified in this article exist on the same <br />site or within the same building: <br />a. The number of parking spaces required for each use shall be <br />determined separately. <br />b. Except as provided in sections 4.1-1390 and 41-1391, ancillary activities <br />or uses within a single tenant space not exceeding fifteen (15) percent of <br />the gross floor area shall be calculated at the parking ratio of the primary <br />use. <br />(3) Wherever a particular use of property can be classified under more than <br />one (1) section of this article which sets minimum parking space <br />requirements, the section which contains the more specific use description <br />shall apply. If two (2) or more equally specific sections apply, the section <br />imposing the higher standard shall apply. <br />(4) Wherever required parking is based upon the number of seats in an area, <br />eighteen (18) inches of bench space shall be deemed the equivalent of one <br />(1) seat. <br />Ordinance No. NS-XXXX <br />Page 9 of 13 <br />75A-25 <br />
