(A ) Generally . All off-street parking lots shall be designed in accordance with city standards for stalls and aisles as set forth in the below drawing and table.
(1) For 1 row of stalls use "C" plus "D" as minimum bay width.
(2) Public alley width may be included as part of dimension "D", but all parking stalls must be on private property, off the public right-of-way.
(3) For estimating available parking area, use 350 sq. ft. per vehicle for stall, aisle and access areas.
(4) The stall width for self-parking of long duration is 8.6 feet; for higher turnover self-parking is 9.0 feet; and for supermarkets and similar facilities is 9.5 to 10.0 feet.
(5) The minimum aisle width for 2-way traffic and for emergency vehicle operations area is 24 feet. The minimum aisle width for emergency vehicle access (one-way traffic) is 20 feet.
(6) Where appropriate bumper overhang area is provided (extruded curbs), "G" can be subtracted from "C" to determine stall depth. Dimensions of required recreational vehicle spaces are 10-feet by 25- feet.
(B) Specifically.
(1) For 1 row of stalls use "C" plus "D" as minimum bay width.
(2) Public alley width may be included as part of dimension "O," but all parking stalls must be on private property, off the public right-of-way.
(3) For estimating available parking area, use 350 square feet per vehicle for stall, aisle, and access areas.
(4) The stall width for self-parking of long duration is 8.6 feet; for higher turnover self-parking, is 9.0 feet; and for supermarkets and similar facilities is 9.5 to 10.0 feet.
(5) The minimum aisle width for 2-way traffic and for emergency vehicle operations area is 24 feet. The minimum aisle width for emergency vehicle access (1-way traffic) is 20 feet.
(6) Where appropriate bumper overhang area is provided (extruded curbs), "G" can be subtracted from "C" to determine stall depth. Dimensions of required recreational vehicle spaces are 10 feet by 25 feet.
(a) Parking space plans. No building permit shall be issued until plans are presented that show property that is and will remain available exclusively for off-street parking. The subsequent use of property for which the permit is issued shall be conditional upon the unqualified continuance and availability of the amount of parking space required by this chapter. Reduction of the amount of required off-street parking shall be considered a violation of this chapter. Parking plans shall be drawn to scale and shall delineate parking spaces, drives and aisles, bumper rails, and other features required by this chapter.
(C) Surfacing. All off-street parking spaces and driveways shall be hard surfaced with concrete, asphaltic cement, or similar surface, which is resistant to dust, and mud. Type and thickness of this hard surface must be approved by the City Engineer.
(D) Bumper rails. All required off-street parking spaces, except those for single-family residences, must be equipped with bumper rails located in such a manner as to prevent vehicles from striking landscaping, fences, buildings, or walls, or from overhanging their spaces in a manner which might obstruct aisles, walks, or other spaces or property.
(E) Access and maneuvering.
(1) Groups of more than 4 off-street parking spaces shall be served by a driveway or aisle so that no backing movements or other maneuvering within a street other than an alley will be required.
(2) Service drives or aisles to off-street parking areas shall be designed and constructed to facilitate the flow of traffic and to provide maximum safety to pedestrians and vehicular traffic on the site.
(3) Service drives or aisles shall be clearly and permanently marked and defined through the use of bumper rails, fences, buildings, walls, paintings, or other appropriate markers and shall not be considered as parking spaces.
