Off-street parking spaces shall not be required for any uses in the central business district as defined in Section 1139.02, which is exempted from the off-street parking regulations because it is impractical for individual stores in this area to provide individual parking spaces. An objective for the central business district is to encourage and maintain a compact grouping of retail stores and public and semipublic service buildings for the convenience of pedestrians using these facilities. For this purpose it is necessary to have businesses close together and not separated or scattered by individual parking areas serving only one building. Parking facilities for the central business district can best be provided by public parking areas and garages located according to a comprehensive plan.
In all districts except the central business district as defined in Section 1139.02, off-street parking spaces shall be provided at the time any building is erected, relocated or rebuilt, according to the following schedule:
(a) One and Two-Family Dwellings. Two parking spaces for each dwelling unit.

(d) When an applicant for a building permit does not specify the exact use planned for the proposed building, the Zoning Administrator shall choose the use from Section 1157.05 in the general category of the proposed building which requires the greatest number of parking spaces.
Buildings existing at the time of adoption of this Zoning Ordinance which do not meet the off-street parking requirements, may be structurally altered to the extent of fifty percent of the cost of equivalent new construction, and the use of such buildings may be changed to an equally intensive or less intensive use without providing the required off street parking spaces. However, if such buildings are structurally altered to an extent greater than fifty percent of the cost of equivalent new construction, or if the use is changed to a more intensive use such as conversion of a single-family dwelling to an apartment or a change from a B-1 to a B-2 use, all required off-street parking spaces shall be provided.
Buildings existing at the time of adoption of this Zoning Ordinance which do not meet the off-street parking requirements of this Chapter may be enlarged to the extent of a fifty percent addition of floor area and need provide off-street parking for the enlargement only and not for the original building. When an existing building is enlarged to an extent greater than a fifty percent addition in floor area, off-street parking spaces shall be provided for both the original building and the enlargement.
