D. 
Location and ownership of required accessory parking facilities. Required accessory parking spaces, open or enclosed, may be provided upon the same lot as the use to which they are accessory or anywhere within 500 feet walking distance of such lot.

Effect of parking requirements on existing uses. Structures and land uses in existence or for which building permits shall have been approved on the effective date of this chapter shall not be subject to the requirements for off-street parking spaces set forth in this chapter, provided that any parking facilities not existing to serve such structures or uses shall not, in the future, be reduced, except where they exceed such requirements, in which case they shall not be reduced below such requirements. Required parking facilities for such structures or uses, as well as any future enlargement or extension thereof, shall, however, be provided as a condition for the issuance of any building permit for such enlargement or extension. In case of practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship arising out of this requirement, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall require only such degree of compliance as it may deem reasonable for that part of the structure or use that is legally nonconforming, but shall not waive any part of the requirement for the part of the structure or use that constitutes an enlargement or extension and shall not permit reduction or elimination of whatever quantity of parking may already be in existence unless it is in excess of such requirements, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any power of said Board that is conferred by law. Required off-street parking facilities which, after development, are dedicated to and accepted by the City shall be deemed to continue to serve the uses or structures for which they were originally provided.
G. 
In order to prevent any increase of traffic congestion on City streets, to provide adequate space for off-street parking and maneuvering, to encourage the use of off-street parking space by automobile operators and for the purpose of assuring that space designed for off-street parking does not adversely affect abutting properties or the surrounding neighborhood, the following regulations shall apply in all residential districts, and on all lots in any other district used for residential purposes:
