1270.07 CONTINUATION OF FACILITIES.
   Off-street parking and loading facilities accessory to an existing use on the effective date of this Zoning Code (Ordinance 1978-165, passed October 16, 1978), and those required as accessory to a use created or a building constructed or altered thereafter, shall be continued and maintained in operation, shall not be used for automobile sales or service or repair of motor vehicles and shall not be reduced below the requirements of this Zoning Code during the period that the main use is maintained, unless an equivalent number of spaces is provided for such use in another approved location.
   Whenever parking facilities are permitted on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same ownership as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Such ownership shall be by deed or a long-term lease agreement, whereby the owner of the land on which the parking facilities are to be located shall be bound by a covenant filed and recorded in the office of the County Recorder, requiring each such owner, his heirs or assigns, to maintain the required number of parking facilities for the duration of the use served as a precedent to the continuation of such use.
(Ord. 1978-165. Passed 10-16-78.)
