A. Permanently maintained parking facilities for the use of occupants, employees and patrons of buildings shall be provided for all new buildings at the time of construction.

B. Outside the central business district, free parking shall be required for any addition or enlargement of an existing building and for any change in the use of any building that would result in additional parking space being required. The number of parking spaces shall be that specified in this chapter unless it is demonstrated to the zoning administrator that the addition or enlargement of the existing building or the change in the use of any proposed building will not increase parking demand or reduce the total number of pre-existing required parking spaces and that the amount of proposed off-street parking is within 90 percent of the total requirement for all proposed uses and structures, including the enlargement of the existing building.

C. The intended use of all parking spaces required in this chapter is the temporary use by operable vehicles. Parking spaces shall not be used for the storage of delivery vehicles or trailers, motor homes, campers, dumpsters or other objects.

D. No existing parking area and no parking area provided for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this title shall, after January 17, 1978, be relinquished or reduced in any manner below the requirements established in this title.
