§ 23.09.036. Nonconforming Parking.

Where a site is nonconforming only as to off-street parking (Section 23.04.160 et seq. - Parking), a new or additional allowable use may be established on the site or an existing allowable use may be expanded only after the requirements of this title for off-street parking have been met for both the existing structure and the expansion, except as follows:

a.

Substitute uses. A use of land on a site with nonconforming parking may be replaced with a different use only as allowed by Section 23.09.030c, and as follows:

(1)

Where a substitute use is required by Sections 23.04.160 et seq. to provide the same number of parking spaces as the previous use, no additional parking is required.

(2)

Where a substitute use is required to have more spaces than the existing use, the number of spaces provided shall be the difference between those required for the new use and those required for the existing uses.

b.

Expansion of existing use. An approved use may be expanded on a site with nonconforming parking only where the nonconformity is corrected, except in a central business district where such expansion may occur if parking is provided as required by Sections 23.04.160 et seq. for the area of the expansion only.
