The off-street parking and loading provisions of this Zoning Code shall apply as follows:
(a) For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of this chapter, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of the districts in which such buildings or uses are located. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Zoning Code, and provided that construction is begun within six months of such effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for the issuance of said building permit may be provided in lieu of any different amounts required by this Zoning Code.
(b) When the intensity of use of any building, structure, or premises shall be increased, parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided to accommodate such increase in intensity of use and for 100 percent of any existing building, structure, or premises even if less than 100 percent of the required parking and loading facilities was provided before the increase in intensity. Whenever an existing use has less than 100 percent of the required parking and loading spaces and said deficiency is or has been approved by a duly granted variance, then the intensity of the use may be increased by providing additional parking and loading spaces sufficient to meet the requirements for the enlargement. When additional parking and loading areas are provided, said additional parking and loading areas and all existing parking and loading areas shall be made to conform to the appropriate site design regulations set forth in Chapter 1470.
(c) Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use regardless of any deficiency in parking spaces which may have existed prior to the change in use. Any previously granted variance for the parking or loading requirements for a particular use shall be void when such use is changed. For the purposes of this section, a change in use shall be any change which results in a change in the parking and loading requirements set forth herein.
