In any district, if any structure is constructed, enlarged,
or extended, and any use of land established, or any existing use
is changed, after the effective date of this bylaw, parking and loading
spaces shall be provided in accordance with the Table of Off-Street
Parking Regulations and the Table of Off-Street Loading Regulations.
An existing structure which is enlarged or an existing use which is
extended after the effective date of the bylaw shall be required to
provide parking and loading spaces in accordance with the following
tables for the entire structure or use, unless the increase in units
or measurements amounts to less than 25%, whether such increase occurs
at one time or in successive stages.
Parking or loading spaces being maintained in any district in
connection with any existing use on the effective date of this bylaw
shall not be decreased so long as said use remains, unless a number
of parking or loading spaces is constructed elsewhere such that the
total number of spaces conforms to the requirements of the tables
of this article; provided this regulation shall not require the maintenance
of more parking or loading spaces than are required according to the
tables.
When the computation of required parking or loading spaces results
in the requirement of a fractional space, any fraction over 1/2 shall
require one space.
Parking required for two or more buildings or uses may be provided
in combined facilities on the same or adjacent lots, subject to approval
by the Zoning Officer, where it is evident that such facilities will
continue to be available for the several buildings or uses.
Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the
same lot as the principal use they are required to serve; or when
practical difficulties, as determined by the Board (of Appeals), prevent
their establishment upon the same lot, they shall be established no
further than 200 feet from the premises to which they are appurtenant.
