Off-street parking and truck loading spaces shall be provided and kept available as an accessory use to all permitted and special exception uses of buildings, structures and lots in amounts not less than those required in this Article.

Except as otherwise specified, required parking facilities shall be provided on the same lot as the building they serve. Two or more parking facilities on adjoining lots, if designed for use as a single parking area, may use the same means of access. Required parking facilities shall be located so as to be conveniently accessible to the principal entrance of the building they serve.

The requirement for a single use (e.g., a one-family dwelling or a retail store) shall be determined directly from the schedule of such requirements which is a part of this Article.[1]

The requirement for a combination use made up of several component uses (e.g., a bowling alley combined with an auditorium and a restaurant and bar or a retail store combined with an office building) shall be determined by establishing the requirement for each component use from the schedule of such requirements, which is a part of this Article, and adding them together.

In the SB-100 District only, where at least 50 off-street parking spaces are required, the Planning Board, as part of site plan review, may permit a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces required or originally installed for a particular use pursuant to §§ 235-37 and 235-38 in cases where the Planning Board determines that, with respect to a particular proposed use, there is reasonable analytic evidence with reference to its special character and function, including, among other things, the projected density of employees or other site population or the provision of a communal transportation system, to warrant a finding that the demand for construction of such spaces is, at least in the initial development, less than that required pursuant to §§ 235-37 and 235-38 without transferring such demand to on-street sites or to inadequately improved off-street sites; or with respect to particular existing uses, by reason of diminution in number of persons or in floor area, seating capacity or area, number of employees or change in other factors, the demand for such spaces is less than that required pursuant to §§ 235-37 and 235-38 and that their removal would not result in the transferring of such demand to on-street sites or to inadequately improved off-street sites; provided, however, that any such determination to authorize a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces shall be contingent upon the Town Attorney, on behalf of the Town, entering into a written agreement with the owner of such property, which shall include a copy of a Landbanking Plan acceptable to the Planning Board, which accurately depicts the location of the landbanked parking spaces, and which shall be in recordable form and recorded in the Land Records Division of the Westchester County Clerk's office, guaranteeing the reservation of an adequate area shown on an approved site plan for the construction of the number of such spaces by which the requirement was reduced or the number of spaces by which an existing parking facility was reduced, and provided, further, that any such permitted reduction may be automatically rescinded where the Planning Board shall subsequently determine that such reduced number has proven inadequate for a period of 90 days, in which case the then owner of such premises shall be found in violation of the requirements of this chapter, and such violation shall become effective within 90 days if the additional required spaces are not constructed and available within such ninety-day period.

The provisions of this Article shall not apply to any building or structure or lot lawfully in use at the effective date of this chapter, whether continued as a permitted use or as a legal nonconforming use or thereafter converted or changed without enlargement to a different lawful use having the same parking and truck loading requirements.
