C. - Off-street parking requirements.

1.

Every use or building instituted, constructed, erected, enlarged or structurally altered after the effective date of this ordinance shall provide off-street parking and loading facilities in accordance with the provisions of this section.

2.

Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be maintained as approved and continued as long as the main use is continued.

3.

No owner or operator of any structure affected by this section shall discontinue, change or dispense with the required parking and loading facilities without establishing alternative vehicular parking and loading facilities which meet the requirements of this section.

4.

No person shall utilize any building or use any parcel of land without providing the off-street parking and loading facilities as required by this section, except when a building or use is legally nonconforming as to required parking.

5.

When a permitted use is legally nonconforming as to required parking, and said use is enlarged, additional parking shall be required only on the basis of the enlargement of the permitted use. The additional parking shall meet all applicable requirements of this section.

6.

For commercial, industrial, and all attached and multifamily residential dwelling parking and loading areas, all parking areas, as well as all vehicular entrances, travel aisles and private streets leading into or connecting parking areas, shall be constructed of an all-weather, stabilized, dust free surface (such as asphalt, concrete, or pavers) with curb, guttering and drainage improvements.

For industrial uses for storage and limited vehicular movements, paved surfacing may be waived by the planning commission only for areas used for the parking and/or loading of heavy equipment. Curb and guttering must conform to VDOT standards CG-2, CG-6, MC-3, MC-3B or their equivalent. The zoning administrator may permit alternative paving materials or designs for curb and guttering if substantial compliance with the VDOT standards can be shown.

7.

Access by a vehicle to required parking spaces (other than single family detached dwellings) shall be afforded without requiring another vehicle to be moved.
