(1)

Every building, use or structure, instituted or erected after the effective date of this article shall be provided with off-street parking facilities in accordance with the provisions of this article for the use of occupants, employees, visitors or patrons.

(2)

Such off-street parking facilities shall be maintained and continued as an accessory use as long as the main use is continued.

(3)

Where a building existed at the effective date of this article such building may be modernized, altered or repaired, provided there is no increase in floor area or capacity and there is no change of occupancy, without providing the required parking facilities.

(4)

Where a building or use, which existed at the effective date of this article is enlarged in floor area, volume, capacity or space occupied, off-street parking facilities as specified herein shall be provided for the additional floor area, volume, capacity or space so created or so occupied.

(5)

Where a building or use which existed at the effective date of this article is changed in use or occupancy, additional off-street parking facilities shall be provided to the extent that the off-street parking required by this article for the new use or occupancy exceeds the off-street parking which would have been required for the previous use or occupancy had the regulations of this article been applicable thereto. For the purposes of this article a change of use or occupancy shall mean a change from one category of off-street parking requirements to another such category.

(6)

It shall be unlawful for an owner or operator of any building, structure or use affected by this article to discontinue, change, limit the use of or dispense with, or to cause the discontinuance or reduction of the required parking facilities apart from the discontinuance, sale or transfer of such structure or use except as delineated in this chapter, without establishing alternative vehicle parking facilities which meet the requirements of this article.

(e)

If a property owner utilizes the approved "Customer Parking Only" signs, the number of time limited parking designations is reduced by one-half (0.5) of the above chart with the allowance of at least one (1) sign per unified building frontage. If this calculation results in a fraction, the next highest whole number will be the permitted number of designations.

2.

Criteria: To qualify for parking calculations under this subsection, a large office building shall:

a.

Contain a minimum of one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) square feet for the total gross floor area of the building;

b.

Restrict the ultimate occupancy of the building to a minimum of two-thirds (⅔) office uses;

In no case will required parking be calculated below nine-tenths (0.9) parking spaces per one (1) employee. Any remaining floor area that is dedicated to fabrication, storage and wholesale of products shall be calculated by the parking ratio described elsewhere in this chapter.
