[Massplanners] Parking Requirements for Fast Food, Restaurants, Retail

[John DePriest]

The Chelsea Zoning Ordinance does not differentiate between restaurants and
fast food restaurants for off-street parking purposes.  Both require one
space for every three seats, permanent or otherwise, plus one space for
each three employees on the largest shift.  Retail uses require one space
for every 300 square feet of floor area up to 50,000 square feet, plus one
for each 600 square feet thereafter.  In our downtown district (Retail
Business (BR)), the first 5,000 square feet of retail floor area is exempt
from off-street parking requirements.
