Therefore, this section requires off-street parking and related facilities for now development. changes in use and/or occupancy of existing buildings and expansion of existing buildings, with certain enumerated exceptions where existing development renders such requirements impractical. and the close proximity of municipal parking obviates the need for on-site facilities.
(b) Minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading and unloading. All off-street parking areas, including driveways, ,shall be paved with a dustless, durable, all-weather pavement, clearly marked for parking- spaces, except when accessory to a single-family detached dwelling, and shall be adequately drained.

b. The B-1 district in the West Englewood Plan, in its entirety.

(2) Rules of construction.
a. Multiple uses. Where a particular function contains more than one use, the minimum parking and loading and unloading requirements shall be the sum of the component parts.
b. Expanded uses. When an existing use is expanded, the minimum parking and loading and unloading requirements shall be applied to both the existing use and the expansion thereof
c. Fractional count. When the computation to determine the number of off-street parking spaces or loading spaces results in a fractional number. the fractional number shall be rounded upward to the next whole number.
Unspecified uses. Any use not specified in this section shall comply with the requirement which is applicable to the most similar use, except that the conditional use categories and their criteria, set forth in section 33-25, contain the minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading and unloading. e.
