§ 1284.04 GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR OFF-STREET PARKING.
   (a)   Where a use is not specifically listed in this Zoning Code, the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) shall apply the standards of the most similar use listed to determine the number of parking spaces required.
   (b)   If the computation of the parking ratios listed in § 1284.03 results in a fraction, an additional parking space shall be required.
   (c)   All parking areas, loading areas and driveways shall be graded and surfaced with asphalt or other suitable materials to prevent dust and erosion. Such areas shall also be drained in conformance with township standards to prevent excessive water flow onto streets or adjoining properties.
   (d)   In parking areas with five or more spaces, each space shall be clearly line-striped and maintained.
   (e)   Freestanding establishments located adjacent to shopping centers or strip plazas shall have adequate parking as required in § 1284.03 and will not rely on any common parking to meet the aforementioned requirements.
   (f)   All parking areas with five or more spaces shall be adequately lighted so as to assist in the safe maneuvering of motor vehicles and to provide security for users of the lot. All lighting shall be arranged to avoid glare on adjacent properties.
   (g)   No commercial motor vehicle with more than single rear wheels may be stored on a lot in a residential district, unless such vehicle is stored in a private garage. Only one such commercial vehicle may be stored on a lot in a residential district.
   (h)   Parking or storage of disabled, partially dismantled or junk cars, trucks, boats or other vehicles shall be permitted on a lot for a continuous period of not more than seven days.
   (i)   Parking of any vehicle in the front yard of all residential districts is prohibited except for emergency parking that will be allowed for a period not to exceed 48 hours for times such as holidays.
