Parallel parking spaces shall be a minimum of twenty four (24) feet in length, except that they may be reduced, if approved by the permitting authority, to twenty three (23) feet in length where it is demonstrated that the use served will not involve high parking turnover or a large proportion of large vehicles." Replace the current wording of Section 174-39 with the following: 44§174-39. Required number of spaces. Except as provided in Section 174-43, parking spaces shall be provided for various uses as follows. Where one (1) building is used for more than one (1) use, parking requirements shall be computed for each use unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the permitting authority by means of data and studies from similar projects, that shared parking, staggered hours of operation, or peak parking use and multi- purpose trips justify a reduced number of required spaces. Parking in excess of these requirements shall be prohibited unless specific evidence justifying additional parking is provided and the permitting authority approves such excess parking. Where required spaces for any use are not specified here, they shall be determined by the permitting authority based on similarity of the proposed use to those listed here, on the most recent edition of Parking Generation by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, on studies and surveys done by qualified persons regarding parking usage for similar facilities, on parking requirements and use for similar facilities on Cape Cod or on other appropriate information.
