(6) All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served. However, when an increase in the number of spaces is required by a change of use or enlargement of the building or where the spaces are provided collectively or used jointly by two or more buildings or establishments, the required spaces may be located and maintained not to exceed 400 feet from any other nonresidential building served.

(7) No signs of any kind shall be erected except information signs used to guide traffic and to state the conditions and terms of the use of the lot. Only non-intermittent white lighting of signs shall be permitted.
