[R.O. 2004 § 405.300; Ord. No. 2.56 § 2(Art. 7 § 1), 1-9-2001]
It is the intent and purpose of this
Article to establish minimum requirements as to number of spaces,
design and construction for off-street parking and loading areas.
[R.O. 2004 § 405.310; Ord. No. 2.56 § 2(Art. 7 § 2), 1-9-2001]
Off-street parking and loading space,
as required in this Article, shall be provided for all new structures
and for alterations and additions to existing structures. Off-street
parking and loading space shall be required for any existing structure
or structure which is altered in any manner so as to enlarge or increase
capacity by adding or creating dwelling units, guest rooms, floor
area or seats. Existing parking area previously required shall not
be used to satisfy required off-street parking for any new structures,
alterations or additions to existing structures or uses of land. Such
existing parking space shall be maintained and shall not be reduced
so long as the main structure or use remains, unless an equivalent
number of such spaces are provided elsewhere as provided in this Article;
except that no off-street parking or loading space shall be required
for any use located in the "B-2" Central Business District.
[R.O. 2004 § 405.320; Ord. No. 2.56 § 2(Art. 7 § 3), 1-9-2001]

instance shall off-street parking be allowed in the front of commercial
structures in the "B-2" District.

shall be considered as an accessory use of the use for which the parking

use is located must be located within the zoning district in which
parking or storage lots are permitted as a main use or be located
in accordance with the provisions of this Article relating to off-street
parking exceptions.
D.
Repair Service. No motor vehicle repair
work or service of any kind shall be permitted in association with

number of off-street parking spaces required by this regulation results
in a requirement of a fractional space, the fraction of fifty percent
(50%) or less may be disregarded.
F.
Mixed Uses. When a structure or development
contains mixed uses, the off-street parking requirements shall be
calculated for each individual use and the total parking requirement
shall be the sum of individual parking requirements.

must comply with the entire Title III of the Act as it relates to
the structure and site.
