1. Where a specific use is not listed above, the general parking requirements for a similar use shall be applicable subject to the approval by the zoning officer in consultation and cooperation with the Authority. Unless a shared parking approach is used pursuant to (b) below, lots containing more than one principal use must provide parking in an amount equal to the total of the requirements for all principal uses. In the case of a mixed-use development, the off-street parking requirement shall consist of the sum of the parking spaces required for each component use.
2. No parking is required for accessory uses unless otherwise expressly stated.
3. When measurements of the number of required spaces result in a fractional number, any fractional result of .5 or more shall be rounded up to the next consecutive whole number. Any fractional result of less than .5 shall be rounded down to the previous consecutive whole number. For example, if a minimum ratio of two spaces per 1,000 square feet is applied to a use with 1,900 square feet of floor area, the result, 3.8, must be rounded up to four spaces.
4. Parking for the handicapped shall be provided in number, design, and location as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§
12111 et seq., and New Jersey's Barrier Free Subcode, N.J.A.C. 5:23-7. These wider spaces shall be located in areas conveniently related to major entrances, located so that access does not require wheeling or walking behind parked cars, and be designated as parking for the handicapped.
(b) Shared parking: A shared parking approach may be pursued to lower total number of parking spaces required. The minimum number of on-site parking spaces required through a shared parking approach shall be determined by calculating the aggregate parking required for weekday and weekend conditions for each use, and then selecting the maximum number, as follows:
1. Calculate the minimum number of base parking spaces that would be required for each component according to the base required parking ratios in Table 8, Base Required Parking Ratios, above;
2. Multiply the number of base required parking spaces required for each use by the occupancy rate (percent of Base Required Parking needed during each time period) in Table 9, Shared Parking Rates, below for each use for the weekday daytime, evening, and nighttime, and for the weekend daytime, evening, and nighttime periods, respectively. The resulting numbers of parking spaces shall be referred to as the adjusted parking numbers;
3. The adjusted parking numbers for each of the component uses, including each component use in a mixed-use building, for each time period shall be added to produce the aggregate gross number of parking spaces for each time period; and
4. The largest of the aggregate gross number of parking spaces for each time period shall be identified and used to determine the minimum required parking spaces for the development.

(c) The following concern loading:
1. All uses other than residential uses shall provide screened areas for truck loading and unloading of sufficient size to permit the transfer of goods and products in other than a street, parking area, or any area designated as fulfillment of the off-street parking requirements. The access to and egress from such areas shall be so designed as to avoid the backup of vehicles waiting to load or unload and to minimize interruption of traffic flow on adjacent streets.
2. All loading areas shall be on the same lot as the use which is to be served. Such areas shall be located only in a side or rear yard. Where located adjacent to any residential use or development district, they shall be set back a minimum of 25 feet from such property line.
3. In the case of mixed-use development, the off-street loading requirement shall consist of the sum of the loading spaces required for each component use.
4. Table 10, Required Off-Street Loading Schedule for Nonresidential Uses, below establishes required loading spaces for non-residential uses.
