When the intensity of use of any building, structure, or parcel of land is decreased by the reduction of dwelling units, gross floor area, design capacity, employees, or other units of measurement specified herein for required off street parking or loading facilities, and further, when the decrease would result in a requirement for fewer total off street parking or loading spaces, off street parking and loading facilities may be reduced accordingly, provided that existing off street parking or loading facilities shall be so decreased only when the facilities remaining will at least equal or exceed the off street parking or loading requirements resulting from application of the standards of this Title to the use of the entire building, structure, or parcel of land as modified.

Multiuse Buildings, Structures, And Parcels Of Land:

The additional parking spaces shall be based on the schedule for these uses as specified in Subsections 6-9-3.4 and 6-9-3.5 of this Chapter.

Permissive Off Street Parking And Loading Facilities: Nothing in this Title shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off street parking or loading facilities to serve an existing use of a building, structure, or parcel of land provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design, and control of such facilities are adhered to.

However, once any such off street parking or loading facilities are established, they shall be decreased only when the facilities remaining will at least equal or exceed the off street parking or loading requirements resulting from application of the standards of this Title to the entire use of the building, structure, or parcel of land as modified.

Upon certification by the Zoning Administrator that the full number of parking spaces required under Subsection 6-9-3.5 of this Chapter are needed because the demand for off street parking spaces exceeds the capacity of the off street parking facility and that such demand is of a continuing and regular nature, the owner of the building or structure in which the offices are located shall construct the full number of parking spaces required under Subsection 6-9-3.5 of this Chapter.
