(A) Off-street parking areas (in zoning districts other than in the industrial districts (M-1, M-2)) that are required to have more than five parking spaces shall be graded and surfaced with asphalt, concrete, bituminous surface treatment or other material that will provide equivalent protection against potholes, erosion and dust. Such parking surfaces shall not, however, be required for off-street parking facilities serving family day care centers, customary home occupations, rural home occupations, athletic fields, churches or public or private parks.
(B) Off-street parking areas that are not provided with the type of surface specified in division (A) above shall be graded and surfaced with crushed stone, gravel or other suitable material to provide a surface that is stable and will help to reduce dust and erosion. The perimeter of such parking areas shall be defined by bricks, stones, railroad ties or other similar devices. In addition, whenever such a vehicle accommodation area abuts a paved street, the driveway leading from such street to such area (or, if there is no driveway, the portion of the off-street parking area that opens onto such streets) shall be paved as provided in division (A) above for a distance of 15 feet back from the edge of the paved street. This division (B) shall not apply to single-family or two-family residences or other uses that are required to have only one or two parking spaces.
(C) Parking spaces in areas surfaced in accordance with division (A) above shall be appropriately demarcated with painted lines or other markings. Parking spaces in areas surfaced in accordance with division (B) above shall be demarcated whenever practical.
(D) Off-street parking areas shall be properly maintained in all respects. In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, off-street parking area surfaces shall be kept in good condition (free from potholes and the like) and parking space lines or markings shall be kept clearly visible and distinct.
