At the time of erection of any new building or the enlargement of an existing building, permanent off-street parking shall be provided in all zoning districts as specified by this subchapter.
(A) Each application or a zoning permit shall include information as to the location and dimensions of off-street parking and loading space, and the means of ingress and egress to such space. This information shall be in sufficient detail to determine whether the requirements of this subchapter are met.
(B) The required parking space for any number of separate uses may be combined in one lot, but the required space assigned to one use may not be assigned to another use, except the one-half of the parking space required for churches, theaters, or assembly halls, whose peak attendance is at night or Sundays, may be assigned to a use which will be closed at night and/or weekends.
(C) If the off-street parking space required by this chapter cannot be reasonably provided on the same lot on which the principal use is located, such space may be provided on any land within 400 feet of the principle use or building, provided such land is in the same ownership as the principal use. Said land shall be used for no other purpose as long as the principal use exists.
(D) The minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by this subchapter shall be provided on the same lot with the principle use except as provided above, and the required number of off-street parking spaces specified for each use shall be considered as the absolute minimum.
