No building permit shall be granted in the "L-1" Light Industrial District unless the plan submitted in application for such permit shows the open space required for off-street parking in this section. Off-street parking shall be provided in the following ratios and adjacent to the premises on which the principal use is located:
(a) Two-family dwellings and apartment houses; two parking spaces for each building unit.
(b) Retail stores and uses permitted under Section 1159.01(d); one parking space for each 100 square feet of floor space or fraction thereof greater than one-half.
(c) Uses permitted under Section 1159.01(e); one parking space for each four seats provided for customers.
(d) All parking areas required hereunder shall be provided with an evenly graded, paved or stabilized surface; drainage shall not be permitted onto adjoining premises; illumination shall not be of such height, direction or intensity as to cause undue glare visible from the Residential Districts; physical barriers shall be provided to prevent vehicles from encroaching from the parking area into required setback spaces or into a side yard adjacent to a Residence District.
(e) No change of use shall be permitted unless the new use provides the required number of spaces under this section. A use existing at the time of the adoption of this Zoning Code, and which is deficient in the parking space required under this section, may, however, change to any other permitted use that does not increase the deficiency.
Required parking space may be provided jointly by several owners or by one owner where there are several uses. Such joint parking space shall not be less than the sum of the individual requirements.
