The off-street parking and loading provisions of this chapter shall apply as follows.
(A) Buildings, structures, uses hereafter established; special exception permits previously issued. For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of this chapter, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided in accordance with the regulations of this subchapter. However, where improvement location and building permits have been issued prior to the effective date of this chapter; and, provided that, construction is begun within six months of such effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, but not to exceed two years after the issuance of said building permit, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for issuance of said permits may be provided in lieu of any different amounts required by the off-street parking and loading regulations of this chapter.
(B) Buildings, structures, uses existing or hereafter established; increased intensity of use. When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises (existing on the effective date of this chapter or hereafter established) shall be increased (through addition of gross floor area or other unit of measurement specified herein for required parking or loading facilities), parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for such 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 such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal not less than 15% in which event parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase.
(C) Change of use. Whenever the use of a building, structure or premises shall hereafter be changed to a new use permitted by this chapter, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use.
