Existing Parking. Structures and uses in existence at the date of adoption of this chapter shall not be subject to the requirements of this Part so long as the kind and extent of use is not changed, provided that any existing parking facilities serving such structures or uses shall not in the future be reduced below that which existed at the date of adoption of this chapter.

Change in Requirements. Whenever there is an alteration of a structure or a change or extension of a use which changes the parking requirements according to the standards of § 801, the total additional off-street parking required for the alteration, change or extension shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of that Section; provided, however, that when a change of use is proposed from Use 7, 8, 12, 20, 21 or 38 or from any residential use under Part 4 of this Chapter to any office, retail or consumer service use, including Uses 23 through 34, whereby the combined total aggregate area of the proposed use will involve more than 3,500 square feet or will involve two or more existing or proposed units or leaseholds, then the total off-street parking requirements of that Section for such proposed use shall be fully applicable thereto regardless of the nature or extent of any existing off-street parking facilities serving the existing use.

Conflict with Other Uses. No parking area shall be used for any use that interferes with its availability for the parking need it is required to serve.

Continuing Character of Obligation. All required parking facilities shall be provided and maintained as long as the use exists which the facilities were designed to serve. Off-street parking facilities shall not be reduced in total extent after their provision, except upon the approval of the Zoning Hearing Board and then only after proof that, by reason of diminuation in floor area, seating area, the number of employees, or change in other factors controlling the regulation of the number of parking spaces, such reduction is in conformity with the requirements of this Part.

Reasonable precautions shall be taken by the owner or sponsor of particular uses to assure the availability of required facilities to the employees or other persons whom the facilities are designed to serve. Such facilities shall be designed and used in such a manner as to at no time constitute a nuisance, a hazard or unreasonable impediment to traffic.

Joint Use. Two or more uses may provide for required parking in a common parking lot if the total space provided is not less than the sum of the spaces required for each use individually. However, the number of spaces required in a common parking facility may be reduced below this total by special exception under Part 11 if it can be demonstrated to the Zoning Hearing Board that the hours or days of peak parking needed for the uses are so different that a lower total will provide adequately for all uses served by the facility.

Fractional Spaces. Where the computation of required parking space results in a fractional number, any fraction of the next highest number shall be counted as "one."

Location of Parking Spaces.

A buffer strip of a minimum of six feet from all property lines and street lines except as specified in § 609 herein shall be provided around all parking areas required under the provisions of this Chapter. All such buffer areas shall be planted and maintained in accordance with the standards and specifications of Article IV of the Subdivision and Land Development Regulations. Where buffer plantings are required along street frontages, these requirements shall be in addition to the requirements for street trees as specified in Article IV of the Subdivision and Land Development Regulations.

All parking areas shall be illuminated in accordance with the standards and specifications of Article IV of the Subdivision and Land Development Regulations. Design of parking lot lighting shall restrict off-site spillover light to 0.1 footcandle maximum within 10 feet of the property lines which are located adjacent to a residential zoning district or residential use.
