Discussion on Off-Street Parking Requirements

Discussion on off-street parking requirements for various uses throughout the zoning ordinance.
The City of Brookings Zoning Ordinance pertaining to off-street parking requirements is based upon a requirement that each use much provide a minimum number of parking spaces on-site.
