A. Scope of Regulations — The following regulations are established to increase safety and les-
sen congestion in the public streets, to prevent the deficiency of automobile parking spaces
associated with the development of land and increased automobile usage, to set standards
for the requirement of off - street parking according to the amount of traffic generated by
such uses, and to eliminate the on- street storage of vehicles. In connection with any build-
ing hereafter erected or substantially altered or enlarged, or any parking lot hereafter in-
stalled, there shall be provided off - street parking spaces and loading areas meeting all of
the miriimum requirements of this section.
B. Permissive Parking and Loading Facilities — Nothing in.this ordinance shall be deemed to
prevent the voluntary establishment of off - street parking and loading facilities to serve any
existing use of land or buildings, provided that there is adherence to all regulations here-
in governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities.
C. 'Damage or Destruction — When any building, structure or use is restored and continued in
operation after being damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion, or other cause,
to. the extent that the cost of restoration exceeds 100 percent of the assessed value, there
shall be provided the off - street parking or loading facilities required by this ordinance.
'When any building, structure or use which is in existence on the. effective date of this ordi-
nonce is restored and continued in operation after being damaged or destroyed by fire, col-
lapse, explosion,' or other cause, to the extent that the cost of restoration does not exceed
100.perceritof the assessed value, there shall be provided only the off - street parking or
loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction.
However, in no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facili-
ties in excess of those required by this ordinance for equivalent new uses or construction.
D. Existing Uses — Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be
changed to a new use, off - street parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required
for such new use. However, if said building or structure was erected prior to the effective
date of this ordinance, additional off - street parking or loading facilities are mandatory
only in the event the floor area of the building or structure is increased and then only to
the extent required by the additional space.
E. Development Plans — A plot plan drawn to scale, showing the location and layout of re-
quired off - street parking and loading facilities shall accompany each application for a
Building Permit or Certificate of Compliance. The completion of the improvements accord-
ing to such plot plan shall be a requisite for the validity of the Permit or Certificate.
