Text: Norkunas also appeals the district court’s finding that the Seahorse Inn’s parking complied with the ADA. The district court found that Seahorse owned two parking lots: one exclusively for the use of guests of the Seahorse Inn containing twenty-three spaces (“the close lot”); and the other for use by the public, guests of the Seahorse Inn, and patrons of the Lemon Bar, containing sixty spaces (“the far lot”). Norkunas argues that these lots should be considered together when determining the number of required accessible parking spaces for the Seahorse Inn. 12 The district court found that the two accessible parking spaces in the close lot satisfied the requirements of the ADA. The district court’s conclusion analyzes the close lot as the Seahorse Inn’s only parking lot and the far lot as a separate entity. There is evidence in the record indicating that even though Seahorse owns both lots, they serve different functions and can be analyzed separately. We find no clear error in the district court’s conclusion that the close lot was the Seahorse Inn’s parking lot for analysis of ADA compliance. Morrissette-Brown, 506 F.3d at 1319. We agree therefore with the district court’s conclusion that the Seahorse Inn’s parking complied with the ADA. The district court also found that the additional accessible parking spots across the street were not improper since they complied with the ADA requirements for size, striping, and signage. We find no clear error in the district court’s finding that these additional accessible spaces in a separate lot did not violate the ADA. Since Norkunas objects only to the Seahorse Inn’s parking, which the district court found to include only the close lot, we do not address the compliance of the far lot with the ADA.
