All parking spaces shall be on the same lot with the principal building, except that such parking spaces may be otherwise located upon approval of the Zoning Board of Appeals granted in § 235-27 of this chapter and the procedures set forth, and upon further finding that it is impractical to provide parking on the same lot with such building.
