(1) New Construction and New Uses. For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after February 25, 1992, accessory off-street parking facilities shall be provided in accordance with the provisions contained herein.
(2) Expansion of a Building or Use. When the intensity of use of any building, structure, or premises shall be increased, additional parking facilities shall be provided as follows:

(ii) Whenever a building, structure or use existing prior to February 25, 1992, is enlarged by one or more additions, the sum total of which increases the floor area to the extent of 50 percent or more, the uses contained within the original building or structure and all enlargements shall thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein.
(iii) Whenever an existing single-family dwelling with more than 950 square feet in floor area has less than two parking spaces, it shall be permitted to expand by not more than 25 percent in floor area without having to comply with the off-street parking requirements set forth herein.

Whenever a building or use existing prior to February 25, 1992, and for which the required number of parking spaces is not provided, is damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or other natural causes to the extent of 50 percent or more of its fair market value, the building, structure or use shall only be rebuilt or restored in compliance with this chapter.
