The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed in the chart shall be the same as for a listed use of similar characteristics of parking demand generation.
3.
Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of these regulations is changed or enlarged in number of units, seating capacity or otherwise to create a need for an increase of ten percent (10%) or more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change.
C.
Joint Use Of Off-Site Facilities.
1.
All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served, except that where an increase in the number of spaces is required by a change or enlargement of use or where such spaces are provided collectively or used jointly by two (2) or more buildings or establishments, the required spaces may be located and maintained not to exceed three hundred (300) feet from the building served.
2.
Where the required parking spaces are not located on the same lot with the building or use served, or where such spaces are collectively or jointly provided and used, a restrictive agreement properly executed and recorded by the parties concerned shall assure their retention for a period no less than twenty (20) years. This agreement shall be filed with the application for building permit and shall be in a form prescribed by and have the approval of the City Attorney.

The design, construction and improvement of any off-street parking space shall be approved by City's Building Commissioner and Zoning Administrator before any permit is issued therefor.
2.
Off-street parking facilities shall be drained to prevent damage to abutting property or public streets and alleys and surfaced with erosion-resistant material in accordance with the requirements of the Building Commissioner and Zoning Administrator. Off-street parking areas shall be maintained in a clean, orderly and dust-free condition at the expense of the owner or lessee and not used for the sale, repair or dismantling or servicing of any vehicles, equipment, materials or supplies.
3.
Whenever an off-street parking lot in the "C" or "C-1" Districts adjoins or is immediately across a street from a "R-1" or "R-2" Zoning District, it shall be the responsibility of the property owner in the "C" or "C-1" Zoned District to erect and/or maintain either a screen planting or, with the permission of the affected residential property owner, a fence, which screen planting or fence shall be not less than five (5) feet in height and shall provide a visual barrier blocking the view of the commercial district along that portion of the parking lot.
