The off street parking and loading provisions of this title shall apply as follows:
A. For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date hereof, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of the district in which buildings or uses are located. However, where a permit has been issued prior to the effective date hereof, and provided that construction is begun within one year of such effective date, and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities as required hereinafter need not be provided.
B. When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity or other units of measurement specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use.
C. However, no building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date hereof shall be required to provide such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the units of measurements existing upon the effective date hereof, in which event, parking or loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase.
D. Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall be changed hereafter to a new use, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date hereof, additional parking or loading facilities shall be required only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing use if the latter were subject to the parking and loading provisions of this title.
E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no motor vehicle shall be parked in the required front yard in any residential zoning district unless said vehicle is parked upon a driveway. Said driveway shall be paved as provided for in the definition of "parking space" in section 9-2-1 of this title. For the purpose of this section, a driveway must have an appropriate curb cut if connected to a street. (Ord. 2004-19, 8-10-2004)
