The provisions of this chapter shall be subject to such additions, modifications or exceptions as herein provided by the following supplementary regulations.
A. 
Permanent off-street parking spaces shall be provided and satisfactorily maintained by the owner of the property for each building which, after the date when this article becomes effective, is erected, enlarged, altered or changed for use for any purpose.
B. 
Such parking space shall be required open space associated with the permitted use and shall not be reduced or encroached upon in any manner.

Location of parking space.
(1) 
Except as set forth herein, all parking spaces shall be on the same lot as the building, except with the approval of the Planning Board.

Said parking spaces shall be located within 500 feet of the facility or property to be served. In determining whether to grant such permission, the Board of Trustees shall consider the parking needs of the public and existing facilities and the demonstrated inability of the property or facility owner to meet the requirements of § 170-55. If such permission is granted, the Board of Trustees shall determine the conditions of such permission, including the number of spaces so credited and the duration of such permission.
