(1) All off-street parking, loading and truck-turning facilities shall be provided on private property, except where on-street parking is permitted.
(2) The parking spaces required for residential buildings or uses shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served. Parking spaces required for all other uses may be provided on another lot within 300 feet of the lot on which the use is located; provided, that the offsite lot is zoned for parking facilities or parking garages.
