§ 10.1. Off-street parking and loading spaces required.

It is the intent of this article that all buildings, structures and uses of land shall provide off-street parking and loading space in an amount sufficient to meet the needs caused by the building or use of land and that such parking and loading spaces be so that they are in fact readily usable for such purposes.

Each use of land and each building or structure hereafter constructed or established, shall provide off-street parking and loading according to the standards set forth herein. When an addition is made to a building containing less than the required parking or loading requirements, a conforming amount of parking or loading shall be supplied based upon the size of the addition. No addition to an existing building shall be constructed which reduces the number of spaces, area or usability of existing parking or loading spaces unless such building and its addition conform with the regulations for parking and loading contained herein.

Parking spaces for the handicapped shall be required and shall be located as close as possible to elevators, ramps, walkways and entrances. Existing uses providing off-street parking shall have 12 months from the date of adoption of this ordinance to comply with handicapped parking requirements. New uses providing off-street parking shall incorporate handicapped spaces into the design of parking facilities.
