5.6.3 Number of Spaces per Use or Activity
The town of Rothesay requires developments to provide a minimum number of parking
spaces for each land use to prevent spill-over parking onto public streets. The following
parking standards allow flexibility in parking provisions, while still ensuring that
developments provide an acceptable amount of parking to prevent spill-over onto town
streets:
(a) Parking spaces shall be provided for each use in accordance with Table 1.
(b) Where parking calculations result in a number that is not an integer, the number of
required parking spaces shall be rounded to the nearest integer.
(c) Where a proposed use is not listed below, a similar use contained in the list, as
determined by the Development Officer, may be used to calculate the required
number of parking spaces.
(d) When Table 1 provides two or more methods for calculating the number of spaces
required for a single use, the average number shall be used.
(e) When there is more than one use with different parking requirements, the parking
spaces required for the property shall be calculated using Tables 1 and 2, as
described in Section 5.6.4.
CO Where a significant variance from the minimum parking requirement is proposed
(greater than 20%) the proponent shall provide a contingency plan to provide
additional spaces if necessary. A parking contingency plan may include reserving a
portion of the site as a landscaped and unpaved area to be used to meet future
parking demand or a shared parking agreement with neighbouring land owners, as
described in Section 5.6.5.

5.6.4 Parking Requirements for Mixed-use Properties
Many land uses have peak parking requirements at different times throughout the day
and can efficiently share parking. The following parking requirements respond to
differing peak parking requirements for different land uses.
For properties that contain a mix ofland uses with peak parking demands at different
times, Table 2 shall be used to calculate the minimum parking requirements for the
entire property, using the following methodology:
1. Minimum parking requirements for each land use shall be calculated using Table 1.
2. For each applicable category of use found in Table 2 the total peak parking
requirement shall be the sum of the minimum parking requirements for each
land use within that category.
3. The total peak parking requirement for each applicable category shall be
multiplied by the corresponding percentage of peak demand in Table 2 to provide
each category of use's parking demand by time of day.
4. The total parking demand for each time of day shall be the sum of each category's
parking demand for that time of day.
5. The minimum parking requirement for the property will be the highest total
parking demand for any time of day.

developed as landscaped island areas distributed throughout the parking area to
define major circulation aisles and driving lanes, shall be calculated as:
- 3 m2 oflandscaped area and one shade tree for every 6 parking spaces
- 3 m2 of landscaped area and one shade tree for every 4 parking spaces in
excess of the minimum parking requirement
f) provide pedestrian walkways between parking areas, public sidewalks and
building entrances, to the satisfaction of the Development Officer; for multi-
tenant commercial buildings, a pedestrian walkway must be provided connecting
the entrances of all ground floor units to a public sidewalk.

Rothesay Zoning By-law No. 02-02
Schedule "D" - Stormwater Standards
Commercial, Industrial; Institutional and Multi-Unit Residential
Total Suspended Solids
Total Suspended Solids concentrations in the stormwater discharge from any type of
development, either during or following construction, is not to exceed 25 mg/L. The
effective opening size of the sieve or filter medium that is to be used in determining this
concentration is i.o µm.
Commercial, institutional, industrial and multi-unit residential development with a
property size in excess of 2,ooom2 (approximately 0.5 acres) and impervious areas in
excess of 50% of the property, are required to have stormwater treatment facilities that will
trap all particles with a diameter inexcess of 75 µm during a flow that equals the
magnitude of 30% of the two (2) year return period flow event. This requirement may be
waived, at the discretion of the Director, for development with a low traffic turnover.
Hydrocarbons
Commercial, institutional, and industrial development with a property size in excess of
6,075 m2 (approximately 1.5 acres) is required to have stormwater treatment facilities that
will limit the discharge of hydrocarbons (expressed as total hydrocarbons) to less than 1
ppm or 1 mg/L.
Stormwater Quantity
Controlling the quantity of stormwater implies reductions in the total amount and/or the
rate of runoff. Control of the rate of runoff (peak stormwater flow) from areas of new
development (commercial, industrial, institutional or residential) will be required. For all
development, peak post-development flows should not exceed pre-development flows for
all storms (1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100-year storms) up to the major drainage system design
storm.
Stormwater Management for Millenium Park Zone
Developments shall have stormwater management systems designed by a professional
engineer so that the peak surface runoff rates discharged from a site subsequent to
development shall not exceed pre-development peak discharge rates OR developments
shall contribute, based on their estimated volume of post-development stormwater
discharge and peak surface runoff rates, to the cost of common stormwater management
infrastructure built and maintained by the town. Compliance with this peak surface runoff
standard shall be documented by a professional engineer through analysis of runoff
resulting from the one (1)-, two (2)-, ten (10)-, and one hundred (100)-year return period
twenty-four (24)-hour rainfall events.
