Off-street automobile parking or storage space shall be provided on every lot on which any of the following uses are hereafter established in all districts. In cases where no parking space can be reasonably provided on the same lot, such space shall be provided on any lots other than those zoned for residential purposes, a substantial portion of which is within 500 feet of such uses. If a vacant residentially-zoned lot abuts, either directly or across an alley, the property desiring additional off-street parking, such residential property may be used for off-street parking upon issuance of a special use permit by the Zoning Authority after review by the Zoning Commission provided the specifications provided in § 157.081 are met. No use permit will be issued upon completion of any building or group of buildings unless and until all off-street parking and loading requirements shown upon the plans shall be in place and ready for use. The required parking space for any number of separate uses may be combined in 1 lot but the required space assigned to one use may not be assigned to another use at the same time, except that one-half of the parking space required for churches, theaters or assembly halls whose peak attendance will be at night or on Sundays may be assigned to a use which will be closed at nights or on Sundays. Each automobile parking space shall not be less than 200 square feet in area, with appropriate dimensions for the parking of an automobile, exclusive of adequate access drives and maneuvering space. Such space shall be provided with vehicular access to a street or alley; such use shall not thereafter be encroached upon or altered and shall be equal in number to at least the minimum requirements for the specific use set forth in the table below:
