Any parcel of real property located wholly or partially within the boundaries of a parking assessment district re- ferred to in subsection A of this section which is used for restaurant purposes shall be permitted to construct a building, the total square footage of which will not exceed 56 percent of the buildable area of the lot without the need to provide additional parking. Any building in excess of the limitation imposed in this section shall be sub- ject to the same requirements for additional parking as set forth in subsection A of this section. C. Any building in existence at the time of the establishment of the parking assessment district within which it is located, which exceeds the buildable area provisions set forth in subsection A of this section shall be deemed nonconforming and shall not be subject to additional parking requirements in the following cases: 1. The building is altered, modified, or enlarged such that the number of required spaces increases by less than 10 percent. 2. Less than 50 percent of the building is destroyed by fire, earthquake, or other calamity, act of God, or by the public enemy, or, in cases where greater than 50 percent is destroyed, design review approval is given to a new commercial structure replacing the one which was destroyed, pursuant to the criteria stated in Sec- tion 18.88.020(D)(2) of this chapter. D. For parking assessment districts other than those referred to in subsections A through C of this section, the build- ing floor area credits for properties contributing to the district with either land, improved parking spaces, or cash shall be determined on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances for the particular parking assessment district. Such circumstances shall include, but shall not be limited to, the amount of parking spaces, land, or cash contributed; the total number of parking spaces created; the assessment formula for the district agreed to by the property owners within the district; and the location of the contributing property. The standard parking ratio for each parking lot at build out shall be one space for each 500 square feet of gross building area. Property owners contributing more parking or land than needed for their building may receive cash reimbursements or parking (Pleasanton Supp. No.3, 1 -10)
