Required off-street parking facilities, including access driveways, accessory to an existing use, and those required as accessory to a use created or a building constructed or altered hereafter, shall be continued and maintained in operation, and shall not be reduced below the requirements during the period that the main use is maintained. Failure by the owner or owners to supply such off-street parking shall cause the Building Commissioner to revoke the occupancy of a sufficient area in order to bring the facility into conformity with parking requirements.
(a) Whenever the use of an existing building is changed to a use requiring more parking facilities, or whenever an existing building is altered and there is an increase in seating capacity or floor area, appropriate additional parking facilities shall be provided on the same lot or on an adjacent lot under the same ownership. (Ord. 84-93. Passed 6-17-85.)
(b) Permitted main uses may share up to, but not more than, fifty percent (50%) of their off-street parking requirements in an adjoining General Business District A or B including adjoining parking areas which are accessory to permitted General Business “A” or “B” uses which normally have different hours of operation.
(Ord. 95-67. Passed 10-16-95.)
(c) Where there is a sharing of parking facilities as permitted by subsection (b) hereof, there shall be a written agreement covering such indefinite period of time as may be required by the Planning and Design Commission whereby the owner of the land on which the facilities are to be located shall be bound by a long term lease or by a covenant filed and recorded in the Office of the County Recorder requiring such owner, his heirs, successors or assigns to make such parking facilities available to such use.
(Ord. 93-2. Passed 4-5-93.)
