A. If a structure is enlarged or a use is replaced with a use for which more parking is required according to the zoning regulations, the additional parking requirement may be met by paying additional in-lieu fees, as provided in Section 4.30.020 of this chapter.

B. If a structure is reduced in area, or wholly or partially becomes vacant, or a use is replaced with a use for which less parking is required according to the zoning regulations, there shall be no change in the obligation for parking in-lieu fees. There shall be no refund of a lump-sum payment nor an abatement of installment payments. Once satisfied, the obligation for parking in-lieu fees shall be deemed to meet the parking requirement for any structure or use in the same location having a parking requirement equal to or less than that for which the in-lieu fee amount was previously determined.

C. If a structure is destroyed, upon the property owner’s request the city shall refund the lump-sum payment or cancel the obligation for following installment payments. Any future structure or use at the same location would thereafter be required to meet the parking requirement as provided in the zoning regulations, which may include payment of a lump-sum in-lieu fee or commencing at the beginning of the installment payment schedule.

D. If a structure is replaced by a permanent structure intended for uses requiring fewer parking spaces than those in the previous structure, according to the zoning regulations, the city, upon the property owner’s request, shall refund the difference between the lump-sum payment for the previous structure and the lump-sum payment which would be due for the replacement structure or cancel the obligation for the proportionate number of spaces covered by installment payments.
