Steps
Fetch the ADA.gov compliance brief 'Restriping Parking Spaces' (ada.gov/resources/restriping-parking-spaces) for the current Table 208.2 ratio table.
Count total parking spaces in the facility being restriped (calculated per facility, not per site).
Look up the row in Table 208.2 matching the total space count to get the minimum accessible space count.
Apply the 1-in-6 rule (minimum one) to determine how many of those must be van-accessible.
Check Section 208.2.1/208.2.2 for whether the lot serves a hospital outpatient or rehabilitation/outpatient physical-therapy facility, which use elevated ratios instead of Table 208.2.
Known gotchas
Table 208.2 uses banded ranges (e.g., 1-25, 26-50) up to 500, then switches to a 2%-of-total formula for 501-1000 and a 20-plus-1-per-100 formula above 1000 — don't linearly extrapolate.
ADA.gov's brief is DOJ technical guidance, not itself the binding regulation — cite the 2010 Standards text at ada.gov/law-and-regs/design-standards/2010-stds for legal statements.
