SEC. 152.1. REQUIRED OFF-STREET FREIGHT LOADING AND SERVICE VEHICLE SPACES IN C-3
AND EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS MIXED USE DISTRICTS.
In C-3 and Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, off-street freight loading spaces shall be provided in the minimum quantities specified in the following Table 152.1, except as
otherwise provided in Sections 153(a)(6), 161, and as stated below in this Section 152.1. Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, including Table 152.1, no building in the C-3-
O(SD) district shall be required to provide more than six off-street freight loading or service vehicle spaces in total. The measurement of Occupied Floor Area shall be as defined in this
Code, except that non-accessory parking spaces and driveways and maneuvering areas incidental thereto shall not be counted. In accordance with Section 210.5, this Section 152.1 shall not
apply to Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse projects.
For projects in the Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts that are subject to Section 329, the Planning Commission may waive these requirements pursuant to the procedures of
Section 329 if it finds that the design of the project, particularly ground floor frontages, would be improved and that such loading could be sufficiently accommodated on adjacent Streets
and Alleys. For projects in the Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts that are not subject to Section 329, the Zoning Administrator may administratively waive these requirements
pursuant to Section 307(h) and the criteria identified above which apply to projects subject to Section 329.

(1) Boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and buses shall not be parked in the driveway;
(2) No more than two vehicles may be parked in a driveway per Lot, regardless of the Lot size, number of driveways, or driveway length; and
(3) Vehicles parked in the driveway shall not encroach onto the public right-of-way.
(b) Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or Junior ADU (JADU) Conversions. Off-street parking shall be permitted in any driveway that existed immediately prior to the conversion of a
garage at the property into an ADU or JADU, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections (a) and (c).
(c) This Section 152.3 does not authorize the creation of a new curb cut, the restoration of prior existing curb cuts, or the expansion of an existing curb cut.

SEC. 153. RULES FOR CALCULATION OF PARKING SPACES.
(See Interpretations related to this Section.)
(a) In the calculation of off-street parking, freight loading spaces, and bicycle parking spaces permitted or required under Sections 151.1, 152, 152.1, 155.2, 155.3, and 155.4 of this
Code, or pursuant to any Special Use District, the following rules shall apply:
(1) In the case of mixed uses in the same structure, on the same lot, or in the same development, or more than one type of activity involved in the same use, the total permitted off-
street parking and requirements for loading spaces shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses or activities computed separately, including fractional values.
(2) Where an initial quantity of floor area, rooms, seats, or other form of measurement is exempted from loading requirements, such exemption shall apply only once to the aggregate of
that form of measurement. If the initial exempted quantity is exceeded, for either a structure or a lot or a development, the requirement shall apply to the entire such structure, lot, or
