Sufficient parking shall be provided for every use on a site or a lot. The amount of required parking shall be determined by the Planning Board in conformity with the requirements of this article.

In the case of an enlargement of any existing building, structure or use after the effective date of this chapter, off-street parking spaces shall be provided as hereinafter specified for the enlarged portion of such building, structure or use, unless the applicant can provide new calculations illustrating that the site has adequate parking.

No existing off-street parking area shall be reduced in capacity so as to be less than required by this chapter, or if such parking capacity is already less than herein required, such parking area shall not be further reduced; provided, however, that a reduction in such existing parking area shall be allowed if equivalent parking space is provided for the use involved.

For the Planning Board to make a determination on parking, the applicant and the Board will utilize the Town's general guidelines document for parking (copy available at the Building Department/Planning Department). The applicant can also submit additional information such as parking studies, parking requirements from other similar uses, other sites that it operates, etc., to help in this determination.

In making this determination, the Planning Board shall not only consider the minimum amount of parking spaces necessary but help to ensure that the site is not "overparked."
