(a) All parking spaces as required under this Section shall be located on the same lot or parcel as the building or use being served, unless one of the following conditions is present:
(1) An increase in the number of spaces is required by a change of use or enlargement of use where such spaces are provided collectively or used jointly by two or more buildings or establishments, the required spaces may be located not more than three hundred (300) feet from an institutional building served and not more than five hundred (500) feet from any other non-residential building being served, provided however, that such spaces have reasonable and safe access to the building being served.
(2) The existing building takes up a majority of the parcel of land and parking cannot be reasonably located on the lot.
A. The property owner or business may use on-street parking as part of the number of parking spaces that are provided so long as the on-street parking is within 500 feet of the building and not claimed by another use. Half of the required parking spaces shall be in an off-street parking area. If the lot meets the criteria in subsection (a)(2) hereof, then property owner or business may use all off-street parking to meet their minimum number of spaces.
B. The property owner may lease off-street parking spaces from another property owner and count them as part of the number of parking spaces provided so long as the spaces are within 500 feet of the building and not previously leased or used for another use.
