The number of parking spaces prescribed in this chapter or to be prescribed by the zoning administrator shall be in pro- portion to the need for such facilities created by the particular type of land use. Off street parking areas are to be laid out in a manner that will ensure their usefulness, protect the public safety, and, where appropriate, insulate surrounding land uses from their im- pact. (Prior Code § 2-9.14) 18.88.020 Basic Requirements: A. Unless otherwise provided for by this chapter, at the time of initial occu- pancy, major alteration, or enlargement of sites, or of completion of construc- tion of a structure or of a major alter- ation or enlargement of a structure, there shall be provided off street park- ing facilities for automobiles in accor- dance with the schedule of off street parking space requirements prescribed in section 18.88.030 of this chapter. Except as modified in subsection D of this section, the terms "major alter- ation" or "enlargement" shall mean a change of use or an addition which would increase the number of parking spaces required by not less than ten percent (10°Io) of the total number re- quired. The number of parking spaces provided for a major alteration or en- largement of a site or structure shall be in addition to the number existing prior to the alteration or enlargement, unless the preexisting number is greater than the number prescribed in section 18.88.030 of this chapter, in which instance the number in excess of the prescribed minimum shall be counted in 587 (Pleasanton January 2004)
