(A) At the time of initial occupancy of a site, construction of a structure, or alteration or enlarge- ment of a site or structure, off-street parking facilities and off-street loading facilities shall be provided in accord with the regulations prescribed in this chapter. Any building or structure moved from one lot to another shall provide parking as required for a new building.
(B) The number of additional parking spaces or loading berths required for an alteration or enlarge- ment of an existing use or structure, or for a change of occupancy, shall be provided before the alteration, enlargement, or change of occupancy is allowed.
(C) (1) If more than one use is located on a site other than a shopping center, the number of off-street parking spaces and loading berths to be provided shall be equal to the sum of the required spaces prescribed for each use, with the following exception:
(2) Shared parking is permitted when residential land uses are added to sites currently developed with religious assembly uses per § 9-5.1704(F).
(D) Off-street parking and loading facilities required by this article for any use shall not be considered as providing parking spaces or loading berths for any other use except where a shared parking arrangement applies or a joint facility exists, including shared parking for residential and religious assembly uses per § 9-5.1704(F). Such a facility shall contain not less than the total number of spaces or berths as required individually, or fewer spaces may be permitted where adjoining uses on the same site have different hours of operation and the same parking spaces or loading berths can serve both without conflict, according to the procedures and required findings of § 9-5.1704, Parking Reductions.
(E) Parking ratios for shopping center uses shall assume 90% of the available spaces are located at the front of a building. No more than 10% of the required parking is to be provided at the rear of a building and this parking should be designated and enforced as employee parking.
(F) If, in the application of the requirements of this chapter, a fractional number is obtained, one parking space or loading berth shall be required for a fraction of more than one-half, and no space or berth shall be required for a fraction of one-half or less.
(G) Any off-street parking specifically required for a given use shall be without charge.
(H) Off-street parking must be located on the same site as the use it serves, except where off-site parking has been approved according to the procedures and standards of § 9-5.1705, Off-Site Parking Facilities.
