A. Additions to Existing Buildings and Changes in Use. When a change in use, expansion of a use, or expansion of floor area creates an increase of five percent or more in the number of required off-street parking or loading spaces, based on the initially approved and constructed facility or development, off-street parking and loading shall be provided according to the provisions of this chapter. The additional parking shall be required only for such addition, enlargement, or change in use and not for the entire building or site. A change in occupancy is not considered a change in use unless the new occupant is in a different use classification than the former occupant.

B. Alterations That Increase Number of Dwelling Units. If an alteration to an existing building increases the number of residential dwelling units on the site, off-street parking to serve the new dwelling units must be provided according to the provisions of this chapter.

C. When Required. Off-street parking and loading facilities required by this chapter shall be constructed or installed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the uses that they serve. [Res. 21-09; Ord. 21-05 § 2; Res. 14-36 § 407.02; Ord. 14-12 § 1.]
