§ 153.182 APPLICABILITY OF REQUIREMENTS.
   The off-street parking and off-street loading facilities (whether they are principal uses or accessory uses, or they are minimum requirement for the initiation, enlargement, or change of use) shall meet the requirements of this chapter as follows.
   (A)   Effective date. For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of this code, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the applicable use unit. (See §§ 153.141 through 153.174).
   (B)   Use expansion. When the intensity of use of any building or structure or lot is altered through the addition of dwelling units, floor area, seating capacity or other units of measurement, and said change results in an increase in the required number of parking or loading berths, the off-street parking and loading facilities shall provide for such increase in intensity of use.
   (C)   Use change. Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking and/or loading requirements shall comply with such new use. However, if the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this ordinance or the use is non-conforming as to parking and loading requirements then parking and loading requirements for a change in use shall be governed by § 153.207, Parking and Loading Non-Conforming Uses.
   (D)   Accessory off-street parking and loading facilities. Accessory off-street parking and loading facilities in existence as of the effective date of this ordinance and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below, or if already less than, shall not be further reduced below the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this chapter.
