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." The Board, furthermore, determined that the applicant had produced specific and sufficient evidence (set forth above) that the proposed 21 parking spaces for the RMD facility, which is in excess of the 10 parking spaces required by the Bylaw, was justified under the circumstances presented. Accordingly, upon Motion made and duly seconded at the Public Hearing on Wednesday August 26, 2015, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to adopt a finding that the proposed 21 parking spaces were justified for this proposed use and it approved said 21 parking spaces pursuant to §174-39 of the Bylaw. h 5
