A. 
Off-street parking spaces shall be required for all buildings constructed, extended or enlarged in use after the effective date of this chapter.
B. 
Each off-street space shall consist of 162 square feet in a space nine feet wide by 18 feet wide. Each parking space shall be reached by an access driveway at least 24 feet in width.

Editor's Note: See 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.
For any building or parcel having more than one use, cumulative parking space shall be required as provided for each use, except as follows:
A. 
In general, parking shall be provided on the same lot as the principal use. However, parking may be provided on a separate lot or tax parcel that is within 300 feet of the principal use, provided that the two lots are under the same ownership and there are covenants which tie the two lots together.
B. 
In any district, the Planning Board may, at its sole discretion, approve the joint use of a parking facility and a reduction in the parking requirement of up to 30% by two or more principal buildings or uses, either on the same, adjacent or nearby parcels, where it is clearly demonstrated that the reduction in spaces and shared use of the parking facility will substantially meet the intent of the parking requirements by reason of variation in time of use by patrons or employees among such establishments. There shall be a covenant on the separate parcel or lot guaranteeing the maintenance of the required off-street parking facilities during the existence of the principal use. Such covenant shall:
(1) 
Be executed by the owner of said lot or parcel of land and the parties having beneficial use thereof;
(2) 
Be enforceable by either of the parties having beneficial use thereof as both; and
(3) 
Be enforceable against the owner, the parties having beneficial use, and their heirs, successors and assigns.
C. 
Floor areas, for the purposes of computing parking requirements, shall be the sum of the horizontal area within the exterior walls of the several floors of a building, excluding basement, cellar and attic areas used primarily for storage or service.
D. 
All parking shall be lighted in accordance with the standards in § 210-74.
E. 
The Planning Board shall, however, have the authority to require or permit fewer than the required parking spaces for any use, provided that an amount of open space equal to that amount of space that would have been used for the required number of parking spaces is left available for parking in the event that it is needed at some time in the future. Open space used for this purpose shall not be used to meet any other requirements of this chapter, including lot coverage requirements.
F. 
When a change in the intensity of use of any building or structure would increase the required parking by 10 or more spaces, cumulatively from the date of enactment of this section, through an addition or change in the number of dwelling units, gross floor area, gross leasable area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement specified herein, the increment of additional required parking shall be provided in accordance with this section, unless a waiver is granted by the Planning Board. If fewer than 10 spaces are required by a change or a series of changes in use, the requirement for such space shall be waived.
G. 
No use may provide parking in excess of 20% over the amount specified in this section.
The following schedule sets forth off-street parking requirements. For uses not listed, the Planning Board shall have the discretion to determine the parking requirement.
