(B) Vertical clearance. Each parking space shall have a minimum vertical clearance of seven feet.
(C) Access.
(1) Vehicular access to parking lots. Parking lots shall be designed with adequate means of vehicular access from a driveway, street, or alley in a manner that minimizes interference with traffic movement.
(2) Vehicular access to parking spaces. Each parking space within a parking lot shall open directly into an aisle or driveway of sufficient width to provide adequate means of vehicular access to the parking space.
(D) Striping. Off-street parking lots shall delineate parking spaces with paint or another permanent, durable material, which shall be maintained in order to remain clearly visible.
(E) Snow storage.
(1) Provision for snow storage. Snow storage areas shall be provided on or adjacent to all off-street parking areas subject to the standards of this section to ensure public safety and accommodate transportation.
(2) Obstructions. Snow shall be stored in a manner that does not restrict access, circulation, or sight lines for pedestrians or vehicles at driveways, sidewalks, or other access points. Required off-street parking spaces, driveways, access aisles, and walkways shall not be used for the purpose of snow storage.
(3) Storage in landscape areas. Landscape areas shall not be used for snow storage unless designed for that use, with non-compacted soils, adequate area to accommodate snow piles and containing plantings selected for salt-tolerance and durability.
(4) Storage in stormwater facilities. Snow shall not be stored on top of storm drain catch basins or stormwater management facilities, as plowed snow can contain pollutants and debris that accumulate in the area and block the system, causing localized flooding.
(5) Off-site snow storage. If appropriate snow storage cannot be accommodated on-site, snow shall be stored off-site, with information on this arrangement submitted to the Zoning Administrator with sufficient detail to ensure adequate safety and parking facilities during snow events.
(F) Wheel stops. Bumper stops, wheel stops, or curbing shall be permanently and securely installed along the perimeter of the parking lot to prevent vehicle overhang from encroaching on sidewalks, landscape areas, fencing, walls, or buildings.
(G) Landscape requirements. Parking areas shall meet the applicable requirements of Chapter 1250 (Landscape Standards).
(H) Drainage. Off-street parking lots shall be graded for proper drainage and meet the stormwater management requirements of § 1250.03 (Stormwater Management).
(I) Lighting. Parking lots shall be illuminated in accordance with the standards of § 1250.08 (Outdoor Lighting).
