§ 152.111 DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF OFF-STREET PARKING AREAS.

§ 152.112 MODIFICATIONS.
   The Board may, on appeal, authorize a modification, reduction or waiver of the foregoing requirements if it should find that, in the particular case appealed, the peculiar nature of the residential, office, retail commercial, service, wholesale commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational, or other use, or the exceptional shape or size of the lot, or other exceptional situation and condition would justify such an action.

In situations where the vehicles are not visible from an adjoining property or public roadway they can be located within the front yard.
      (3)   One vehicle larger than a full size pickup or van, which is used for business or employment by the resident of the property may be permitted as per division (2) above.
      (4)   In no situation shall vehicles not driven or owned by the residents of the property be permitted to be stored on the property unless permitted by the Zoning District or be a conditional use from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
   (B)   In multi-family manufactured home parks, or townhouse developments, the storage of recreational vehicles or boats shall be in designated areas only. The designated areas shall be illustrated on the appropriate zoning permit or site plan.

§ 152.114 APPROVAL OF ACCESS POINTS.
   All new access points to roadways and/or any access points involving a change in use or an increased intensity of an existing use shall require a permit from the state or city, depending on the responsible authority for maintenance and issuance of permits. Projects involving either three or more residential units or 30 vehicle trips per day (or more, regardless of the proposed use) shall not be permitted access to Arterial roadways or to an existing or proposed Collector roadway that exceeds 1,000 vehicle trips per day without approval of the Commission. Projects involving access either to a Category I Collector roadway or to a proposed use that generates more than ten but less than 30 vehicle trips per day—on all other types of Arterial and Collector roadways—shall require approval of the Technical Review Committee. Direct access to an arterial or collector roadway shall only be permitted if the other access scenarios such as local street access, frontage roads, shared driveways and other forms of access control are unacceptable, unsafe or inappropriate as determined by the Commission.
