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.
Accessory off-street parking spaces in existence at the time of adoption of this Zoning Ordinance may not be reduced in number below the number required herein for equivalent new construction, or, where below the required number, may not be further reduced below the number required for equivalent new construction.
All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same lot or parcel with the building or use served. The Board of Appeals under Section 1105.08(d) has authority to allow location of required parking spaces on lots separated from the lot on which the use served is located.
Off-street parking spaces shall not be permitted in a required front yard or in a street side yard area of a corner lot except in a driveway or defined parking area in residentially zoned districts. The aggregate area of the driveway or defined parking area shall be as follows:
(a) Standard lots with widths forty feet (40') or less to have an aggregate driveway area no greater than 45% of the front yard;
(b) Standard lots with widths between forty-one feet to fifty feet (41' - 50') to have an aggregate driveway area no greater than 40% of front yard;
(c) Standard lots with widths greater than fifty feet (50') to have an aggregate driveway area no greater than 35% of front yard.
Lot Width | Aggregate Driveway % of Front Yard |
< or = 40' | 45% |
< 50' > 41' | 40% |
> 51' | 35% |
(Ord. 30-2017. Passed 6-19-17.)
(a) All off-street parking spaces shall be hard surfaced or surfaced with gravel, crushed stone or similar material, with adequate dust treatment.
(b) For all parking areas which have five or more parking spaces, bumper guards shall be provided where necessary around the boundary of the parking area to protect fences, screen plantings and neighboring property.
