1144.03 SITE ACCESS AND DRIVEWAYS.

   (a)   The location, number and width of entrance and exit driveways to parking facilities shall be planned to minimize interference with the use of adjacent properties and with the public rights-of-way.  All curb cuts or access locations shall be subject to the review and approval of the Commission which may require recommendations from the Engineer and/or the Police Department.  To minimize impacts on public rights-of-way, the centerline of access driveways shall be located as far as practical from street intersections.  Exit driveways shall be located so as to have adequate clear sight distance on the public street.

   (b)   Entrances and exits shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) lanes.  The width of such entrances and exits shall conform to the following schedule:

 

	Width (in feet)
	Minimum	Maximum
One (1) lane	12	14
Two (2) lanes	20	24
Three (3) lanes	30	36

   (c)   The location and width of entrance and exit driveways to parking facilities shall be planned, whenever possible, so that the centerline of the access driveways on the frontage street of a corner lot shall be at least forty feet (40') from the right-of-way line of the nearest intersecting street.

   (d)   All access drives and parking areas shall be designed to provide appropriate accessibility for emergency vehicles as determined by the Fire and Rescue Chief.

   (e)   All parking lots shall be screened from adjacent residentially zoned properties in a manner approved by the Commission.
