§ 25-40. Changes in requirements.

The number of parking or loading spaces required upon the erection, change in use, or substantial alteration of a building shall not be reduced, except upon written approval of the board of adjustment, after proof that, by reason of diminution in floor area, seating, number of employees or change in other factors controlling the requirements for parking or loading spaces, the proposed reduction is consistent with the provisions of this article. Whenever, after March 19, 1990, an increase in floor area, seating, number of employees or other factors or changes in the use of a building or structure creates a need for an increase of more than twenty-five (25) percent of the number of off-street parking or loading spaces, as determined by the requirements of this article, more off-street parking or loading space facilities of such change shall be provided within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days on the basis of such adjusted needs, as determined by this article.
