The Off-Street parking provisions of this comprehensive amendment shall apply as follows:

   (A)   For all buildings erected and all uses established after the effective date of this Title, accessory parking facilities, shall be provided as required in this Section.

   (B)   When the intensity of use of any building or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement specified herein for required parking facilities, parking facilities as required herein shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use.

   (C)   Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking facilities shall be provided as required for such new use.

   (D)   Off-Street parking facilities shall be provided wholly upon private property and any parking area available on public streets shall not be considered as reducing the off-street requirements in this Section specified. As per the definition in Section 11-1-2 hereof, a street is all that area between property lines on each side thereof and is not limited to the portion of such area as may be improved with a pavement, but includes such area as well as any parking lane, parkway and sidewalk.

Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this Title shall not hereafter be reduced below the requirements of this Title.

In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory.

Any application for a building permit, or for a certificate of occupancy where no building permit is required, shall include therewith a plot plan drawn to scale and fully dimensioned, showing any parking or loading facilities to be provided in compliance with this Title.

Parking spaces required shall be located on the same zoning lot as the building or use to be served; except that in cases where space in a business or industrial district is limited by existing uses or developments, parking spaces may be located on a separate zoning lot; provided, such facilities are within three hundred feet (300') walking distance of a main entrance to the use served.

Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from residential properties in such a way as not to interfere with the residential use.

When the determination of the number of parking spaces required is based on number of employees, the owner or manager shall be counted as an employee.

Each off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width as will provide adequate means of vehicular access to such parking space. Access to a public street shall not exceed twenty-five feet (25') in width.

All open parking areas containing more than four (4) parking spaces shall be screened from an adjoining residential area by a wall, fence or compact hedge five feet (5') in height.

An open parking area containing more than four (4) parking spaces shall be surfaced with an all weather, dustless material (seal coat or better) and adequate drainage shall be provided.
