(i) Surface parking may not exceed 150 percent of the required parking. Structured or underground parking may exceed the required quantity of parking without the imposition of maximum standards. (b) Existing parking and loading facilities (i) Required off- street parking and loading facilities in existence on the effective date of this ordinance shall not be reduced below or, if already less than, shall not be further reduced below, the requirements of this ordinance. (5) Uses with Variable Parking Demand Characteristics Uses that reference this subsection in Table 40.1- 5.1(E)(2), Off- Street Parking Standards, have widely varying parking and loading demand characteristics, making it difficult to establish a single off- street parking or loading standard. Upon receiving a development application for a use subject to this subsection, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the off- street parking and loading standard specified for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use or establish minimum off - street parking standards on the basis of a parking and loading demand study prepared by the applicant. Such a study shall include estimates of parking demand based on recommendations of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) or other acceptable estimates as approved by the Zoning Administrator, and should include other reliable data collected from uses or combinations of uses that are the same as or comparable with the proposed use. Comparability will be determined by density, scale, bulk, area, type of activity, and location. The study shall document the source of data used to develop the recommendations. (6) Unlisted Uses Upon receiving a development application for a use not expressly listed in this section, the Zoning Administrator is authorized to apply the off - street parking standard in the listed use that is deemed most similar to the use, or establish the off - street parking requirements by reference to standard parking resources published by the National Parking Association or the American Planning Association. Alternatively, the Planning Director may require the applicant to submit a parking demand study that justifies estimates of parking demand based on the recommendations of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), and includes relevant data collected from uses or combinations of uses that are the same or comparable to the proposed use in terms of density, scale, bulk, area, type of activity, and location.
