(a) Whenever in any building there is a change in use, or an increase in floor area or in the number of employees or other unit of measurement hereafter specified to indicate the number of required off-street parking spaces, and such change or increase creates a need for an increase of more than 10% in the number of off-street parking spaces as determined by the requirements of this article, additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the basis of the increased requirements of the new use, or on the basis of the increase in floor area or in number of employees or in other unit of measurement; provided, that in case a change in use creates a need for an increase of less than five off-street parking spaces, no additional parking facilities shall be required. Additions or expansion shall be accumulative and shall require additional spaces when the total requirement is 10% or more.
(b) In the case of mixed uses, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately. In the case of a use not specifically mentioned in this article, the requirements for off-street parking facilities for a use which is so mentioned, and to which such use is similar, shall apply. Off-street parking facilities for one use shall not be considered as providing required parking facilities for any other use, except as specified in this article for joint use.
