(d) Where more than one use is included within any one building or on any lot, the use shall be considered as a mixed use facility.

(e) Additional parking spaces will be required for any addition to a building, structure, or use, which increases in any of the units of measure (i.e., dwelling units, square footage, seating capacity, etc.) used to determine how much parking is required or when new uses or services are added that are not part of the scope of services provided by the existing use.
