An existing use of land or structure shall not be deemed to be a nonconforming use solely because of the lack of off-street parking facilities; however, property on the site used for off-street parking and off-street loading at the time of the adoption of this chapter shall not be reduced in a capacity to less than the number of spaces or berths prescribed in Chapter 17.34 or reduced in area to less than the minimum standards prescribed in Chapter 17.34. Where an existing use is expanded, the parking requirements of Chapter 17.34 shall apply only to the addition. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017: prior code § 7542)
