':T- Western Power Equipment Corp. TSH Architects Planning Director October 25, 1995 Page 3 6. No express requirements for off-street parking are established by the Zon. Ord. for health club/gymnasiums. Under such circumstances, the Zoning Administrator is authorized to determine, upon application of a project proponent, the required number of off-street parking spaces (Zon. Ord. §30.4a.).
