The off-street parking and off-street loading provisions of this subchapter shall apply as follows.
(A) Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this subchapter, for all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established in each district, after the effective date of this chapter. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this chapter, and provided that construction is begun within six months of the effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required by this chapter for the intended use shall not be required.
(B) When the intensity of use of any building, structure, or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the increase in intensity of use. However, no building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be required to provide any additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal not less than 15% of the units of measurement existing upon the effective date of this chapter, in which event parking or loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase; provided, however, that in the case of the expansion or alteration of residential building, required parking or loading facilities shall be provided on the basis of the total required units of measurement for the entire capacity of the buildings.
(C) Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for the new use.
