§ 30-7.2. Accessory Parking Spaces Required.

Accessory off-street parking spaces (including access driveways) shall be provided in accordance with the schedule in subsection 30-7.6 and in conformance with other provisions of this article as a condition precedent to the occupancy of:

a.

New buildings;

b.

New dwelling units;

c.

Any expansion of existing nonresidential buildings, which in any ten-year period would either (i) be more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing gross floor area, (ii) require five (5) or more additional parking spaces as determined by the provisions of subsections 30-7.5, 30-7.6, or (iii) remove any existing on-site parking spaces required by this article.

d.

Any change in use requiring a conditional use permit. When making a finding for the approval of a use permit for a use in an existing building, the Planning Board may require that additional newly created parking be provided on- or off-site or that measures be imposed to reduce parking demand in accordance with subsection 30-7.13. Any additional parking proposed in the public right-of-way shall be subject to the review of the Public Works Director.

e.

When changes of use or building expansions require additional parking, the total amount of parking required for the site shall be reduced by the amount of parking required by subsections 30-7.5 and 30-7.6, but legally not previously provided, for the prior use.

f.

Dwelling Unit Additions. Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection 30-20.4(a), when a dwelling unit is enlarged on a property that is not in compliance with the minimum required parking, an additional parking space shall be added for each seven hundred fifty (750) square feet of added floor area until compliance is achieved. This requirement shall not apply to single-family dwellings unless the single-family dwelling is enlarged to contain 3,000 square feet of floor area or greater. An existing driveway may be considered as up to three (3) parking spaces in tandem serving a single dwelling unit or a primary dwelling and an accessory dwelling unit if the proposed space(s) conform to the requirements of subsections 30-7.8, and 30-7.9. Conformance with subsection 30-7.10.a is not required.
