§ 40-876. Minimum and maximum on site parking spaces.

(a)

Unless specifically provided otherwise in this article, on each lot where a building, structure, or use exists, each site shall be designed to provide and shall provide for off-street parking in the minimum (and not to exceed the maximum) amounts in table 40.1.

(b)

No existing or future off-street parking area shall be reduced in capacity to less than the minimum required number of spaces, or increased to more than the maximum permitted number of spaces, or altered in design or function to less than the minimum standards, unless specifically provided for in this article. Parking lots that are removed for a use other than parking shall be replaced to meet the required parking spaces for that use.

(c)

This section shall not be construed as requiring compliance of parking lots which lawfully existed on the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived; provided, however, that the Planning Commission shall ensure parking lots that do not comply with this article meet the requirements of this article or substantially comply when a new development permit is required or a building permit is required to add additional building space on the site. If substantial redesign of the parking lot is required to comply with this article in such cases of new development or building additions, the Planning Commission may accept substantial rather than complete compliance when the strict application of a requirement of this article would pose substantial practical difficulty.
